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.

I’m more impressed with Clay Buchholz than you. I see him as a front of the rotation type arm.

And CJ may or may not be our closer of the future.

general statement

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.

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.

We don’t have the heir apparent at 3rd and Andrus needs anoter farm year. Why trade Blalock? Why not keep him this year and see if Andrus is ahead of schedule next year. If so then let Hank build trade value by hopefully staying somewhat healthy and playing to the level he is capable of until next year and then deal him.

but im just a commercial photographer who works with artificial lighting most every day, what do i know.

it sounds crazy, but the sun with really bright (like white) objects is kinda hard to adjust you eyes to, especially when its moving fast at least in camera in bright very high contrast situations

like i said, im no hitter though, but as a photographer i can see how it could be a problem to some people b/c its a problem with some cameras, and some films.

Well they pretty much name him the starter in the off season...

-He gets sent to AAA to start instead
-Laird has outperformed him in every phase and took most of the starts
-MaxRam put up ungodly minor league numbers and became a hot name
-Teagarden can do no wrong in anyone’s eyes and is an olympian who just won a game
-And he his hurt

I really think he has some mental issues right now and just can’t get over them….he needs to go to AAA or get about a week off….he just needs some time to relax a little. Sadly, this may be a lost season for him.

yep

kinda like Chris Davis, but not as high of an average, and a lot more walks
