Saunders starting still? someone said last night his wife had the baby.
The funny thing about my back is that its located on my cock.
it was that his wife was due for a baby yesterday
and could have it any time, at which point he would leave.
looks like nothing happened.

NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
Worst live act I've ever seen
Saw him at the end of last year, opening for the Police at River Plate Stadium. Admittedly, the crowd was pretty empty(scheduling fuckup I think, we showed up earlier than the start time and he was already halfway through his set), but he just did not give a shit, his sound engineer was awful, and I hated it.
I don’t mind the new album, though.
My favorite thing by him is the Gameboy Variations EP.

"But the point is, [Jeff] Mathis is a bush-league uber douche." -lonestarJon
well, i guess they are using the all star break
and skipping one injury questionable start so they dont have to make as many moves over the next 2 days.
disappointing but probably better than sending down someone they dont really want to, like madrigal or something.
2 games over 500 please.
lineup
I. Kinsler 2b .338

Davis is moving in the wrong direction in the lineup
although I know this time its because its a lefty.
2 games over 500 please.
Just think...
where this offense would be if we hadn’t gotten Hammy and Bradley this offseason… yuck
Front 4 OPS+
Kinsler 153
Young 104
Hamilton 142
Bradley 180
Back 5 OPS+
Byrd 86
Boggs 100
Salty 78
Davis 130
Duran 76
The disparity between the front half of the lineup and the back half is growing and it’s making me sad.
we need cruz up
he might suck, but id rather see him than byrd 10x over.

usually people include that kind of information.
and please, quote me saying some terrible things to people lately. im surprised the harmless post got that kind of reaction. it just seemed like an obvious question. its not like I called him an idiot.
im pretty sure your post is far more offensive than anything ive said to anyone in the past 2 weeks.

Cops Drinking Game...
Found this on the Cops profile on IMDB:
Take a drink every time you hear or see one of these:
1) A cop mentions how he or she “always wanted to be a police officer” when he or she was a kid.
2) A cop talks about his or her parent who is a retired police officer.
3) The cop’s partner in the passenger seat turns around to talk to the camera man – hey, he wants his screen time!
4) There’s a mullet.
5) Someone is missing teeth.
6) Someone swears that there is nothing illegal in his/her car, only to have it searched and – gasp!- there is drugs and/or drug paraphernalia.
7) After being caught with something illegal, the person SWEARS that it belongs to one of the following: family member, co-worker, friend, ex-spouse, etc., even if it was found in his/her purse or wallet.
8)A prostitute and a john are pulled over, with one or both claiming that they were “just getting a ride” to the local grocery store.
9) Someone is found with a stolen car and despite the fact that he/she had to start the car with a screwdriver, he/she denies, denies, denies knowing it was stolen.
10) Someone is found with a stolen car and claims he/she “borrowed” it.
11) Someone is found with a stolen car and swears he/she bought it for $40 (or some other suspiciously low amount.)
12) A cop asks someone if he/she has ever been arrested/in jail, he/she replies, “Oh, not for a LONG time!” (And it turns out they either have warrents, or were in jail just last month.)
13) A cop asks someone if he/she has been arrested, he/she says no, the cop find out otherwise, and the detained person responds, “Oh, well I’ve never been arrested for THIS before.”
14) Despite having photographic/video evidence, a person denies any wrong-doing.
15) The suspect tries to get out of being arrested by using an abysmal excuse, particularly one which reveals his/her utter ignorance of the law. (For example, the woman who was arrested for stealing beer and protested, “My boyfriend tol’ me to!”)
16) A suspect tries to run, but is knocked over by the camera man.
17) A suspect tries to flee and the cop shouts, “Hey! You get back here!”

was in BA’s GCL top 20 prospect rankings after 2006. There is something about his name that seems like it should be Perez to people.

Interesting blurb on Hurley....
Per T.R. Sullivan:
“The original plan had Hurley pitching Tuesday and Padilla pitching Wednesday against the Angels. But Hurley went on the disabled list Tuesday with a strained left hamstring, even though he insisted he was ready to pitch.
“We just don’t want to take any chances,” general manager Jon Daniels said. “Hurley has the right attitude and he volunteered to pitch Wednesday but he’s not 100 percent. One wrong step covering first base and he could be down for awhile and this kind of injury can linger. We want to get him right.”
i think thats good on both hurley and the teams account
one start isnt going to make a difference.
i just wish we had a better emergency option. hopeless or not i dont particularly care to just throw away a game v the angels.

tight hamstring...
same reason he’s missing his start
Stars in a Texas Night Sky, a Dallas Stars blog from a fan's perspective.
hamstring
hes really pretty healthy now and could start if he had to, but with the break coming up a DL stint only takes away one start early off an injury, and it saves having to make an extra roster move.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Hamstring
He tweaked it doing windsprints last week, they didn’t want to start him this week, and needed the roster spot. It shouldn’t be anything serious though.
