Hey you got it posted before game time!

Good Job. If AJM were here, he’d add the bells and whistles (lineups, pitchers, weather conditons, etc)

If I have to see

yeah

im confused why he and Hank are flipped. Maybe its still working Hank back in. Also I think Wash has said he values the 6th spot in the lineup but I just don’t understand it right now

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

Mark Buerhle is

pitching tonight on three days rest. We all know what happened the last time we faced him.

negative...

...i stand by my predictions.

Kinsler will go yard, and knock in two.

and the Rangers will make the playoffs.

by oc on Jul 22, 2008 6:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

we'll still win...

Mendoza’s shutting them down tonight.

I sense a lot of double play dinos making cameos.

And I stand by my prediction of 7 HRs by Cruz

tonight. The only difference is my prediction has an actual chance of happening….

Woow.

So you are telling me he played in that game and wasn’t injured?

by coolaid on Jul 22, 2008 6:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He should have control issues....

we need to take a lot of pitches tonight.

pissed-off Ozzie quotes after the game. It’s my favorite part of checking the recap the following day…he’s so predictable.

BA vs. Buehrle

I think he ran for governor

against Ann Richards, and lost.

Ozzie should sit back and enjoy what the Rangers are going to do to the White Sox tonight.

I like this lineup. Let the good times rolll.

Tangueray Rangpur and tonic makes Josh Lewin sound awesome to me. I imagine it will have the same effect on Hawk and DJ.

Anyone who wants to get a look at POOCHIE

He’s on “SportsTalk” tomorrow on channel 52 (I think it’s at 6:30) locally.

If Mendoza sucks today

the Rangers need to start giving him more bullpen sessions between starts. He was great in his start on less rest and pitiful in that other start.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Feldman and Mendoza

are very similar to the stock market these days in their performances.

Lets hope to Dow is up tonight.

by Lo'Ranger(s)714 on Jul 22, 2008 7:09 PM CDT   0 recs

I really hope Kinsler

leads off with a double or a HR just to shut these announcers up. I’m already tired of hearing about Buehle’s no-no last year.
