I command millwood to inspire some confidence in himself
because over the past 3 weeks ive lost all of it.
show up milly. it’d help if you would throw 93-94 again instead of 90-91.

Millwood
I think I’d rather watch Mendoza pitch right now, I’m really weary of Millwood.

my prediction....
Rangers can’t hit the lefty rookie…
He goes 6 2/3 giving up 1 run (homerun) and 4 hits
Millwood is his usual self
5 runs in 6 innings.
we lose 6 to 1
We will have scored 2 runs or less for 5 out of 6 games since the break

and you might add
that just really does not seem like the kind of trade Beane would make if he’s building for the long haul, as he’s publicly stated. I’d be more afraid that he’ll land a young prospect in return for Street.
I also don’t see why Cincinatti would acquire Street having just signed Coco.

Chris Davis...
according to Richard Durrett, has eight homers since he was called up on June 26, that’s the most in the AL since that time. Davis is averaging one home every 12 at-bats for his entire season—both major and minor leagues.

thought to be a tough sign when he was drafted?

He sounded pretty antsy to sign in the press
during post-draft interviews
by shroomer on Jul 23, 2008 1:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
From my horrible awesome Day One recap:
Murphy possesses a strong, projectable frame that invoked a Ryan Klesko body comparison from Baseball America, as well as exceptional power from the left side of the plate. The 2007 Aflac All-American has lost some of his luster since last August’s Aflac Classic showcase, battling through an injured quad muscle and several significant kinks in his classic "power to all fields" swing. He profiles as an average defensive first baseman.Though Murphy may outwardly appear to be something of a reach at pick #153, there would nonetheless appear to be considerable promise here if Texas can straighten out his offensive shortcomings. Despite verbally committing to UCLA, Murphy, according to Jon Daniels, is expected to sign rather easily.

He's right
But for all the wrongs reasons.
In Rick’s world oil charity is ok, but ethanol charity is just big government spending.

If Hitler
was a Republican he would win in Texas. Rick Perry is from Haskell. Anyone ever been to Haskell? And this guy is our governor and has been for like 8 years. The guy seems nice but like our President is not real competent.

Out of fairness
Uribe was half way to 2B before Millwood even let go of the ball. Not much chance there but still made it close. What I want to know is why Kinz tries to recieve the ball in front of the bag and have to reach back for the tag instead of straddling the bag and let the runner slide into the glove?

See, that's funny because the only thing Millwood hangs is pitches to guys like Thome.

Our pitchers go down to AAA or to another team and they’re good. So, could the problem really be Dom Chiti and Mark Conner?
