Lineup

2B Ian Kinsler
SS Michael Young
CF Josh Hamilton
DH MIlton Bradley
RF David Murphy
LF Brandon Boggs
1B Chris Davis
C Max Ramirez
3B Ramon Vazquez

Chris Davis is a beast.

That's pretty much our best possible lineup

Though I do agree that Josh should get more rest.

by chief on Jul 6, 2008 11:39 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

no

swap Murphy and Davis, then swap Max and Brandon. THAT would be our best lineup.

+1

Well I’d rather have Nelson Cruz in the OF, with Boggs on the bench.

by Agreen07 on Jul 6, 2008 12:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'll

take Cruz in the OF, with Murphy on the bench.

They have a website and everything

seems like it is still in business.

we are going to watch the all star show at 1. We have gameday up on the monitor next to the TV…. anyone else watching the show? If not I’ll post updates

I'll take updates

If that leak is true, I’d just end up bitter at the end of the selection show anyway. And mad because I missed the Rangers for that.

according to this leak...

...Pedroia gets the start over Kinsler… but, Hamilton and Bradley get the starts in center and right.

well we do have a run diff

of -20 something yet we have a winning record.

by Agreen07 on Jul 6, 2008 12:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

that just means

there have been a couple games where the rangers got destroyed. and many games that the rangers won by 1 or 2 runs.

lost 3-11 on april 18
lost 2-10 on april 22
lost 6-19 on april 23 (low point anybody??)
lost 6-12 on april 26
lost 6-12 on may 11
lost 4-11 on may 20
lost 8-13 on june 1
lost 9-15 on june 4
lost 4-12 on june 6
lost 1-7 on june 13
lost 7-18 on july 2
lost 4-10 on july 4

certainly there have been games where texas destroyed the other team too, just not as plentiful.

the one on Kimball in Southlake isn't too bad

what happened to the original now that people prefer other locations..? The original used to be awesome. I haven’t been there in years, so I can’t compare it to the others.

agreed.

I live an hour N of Austin but work down there. I hit Huts as often as the opportunity presents itself. In Dallas I always liked Club Schmitts over off Harry Hines. Greasy burgers cold ass beer and lots of folks who liked to wager on football hung out there
