Latest I found:
AT 5 PM EDT…2100 UTC…THE HURRICANE WATCH ON THE WEST COAST OF
FLORIDA IS EXTENDED NORTHWARD TO TARPON SPRINGS. A HURRICANE
WATCH IS IN NOW EFFECT FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS FROM SOUTH OF OCEAN
REEF TO KEY WEST…INCLUDING THE DRY TORTUGAS AND FLORIDA BAY…AND
ALONG THE FLORIDA MAINLAND FROM CARD SOUND BRIDGE WESTWARD TO TARPON
SPRINGS. A HURRICANE WATCH MEANS THAT HURRICANE CONDITIONS
ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH AREA…GENERALLY WITHIN 36 HOURS.

Jon

Being a backup in the majors will teach him much more about calling games and learning major league hitters strengths and weaknesses as well as adjusting to the speed of the game. Not going to help with the stick but Texas values defense more than offense from their backstops anyway.

Well, Salty's offense is supposed to be the main facet of his game

So I’d rather see him fix his offensive problems going into 2009 myself.

if nothing else,

he’s majorly distracted.

If our roster were in a little bit better shape, I’d have been for letting him have a few days off.

Although, I doubt Josh can be told to stay away from the game.

I don't see the big deal

If the Rangers are down by 3 with runners on 1st and 2nd with Hamilton up then it’s a no brainer by the book IBB. What is the difference in tonight’s situation?

Madden brought the winning run to the plate.

He would’ve been castrated if they lost on a walk off. They didn’t, so he looks smarter now.

Worst case scenario tonight

was Hamilton hits a homer and its tied. I don’t have a problem with the bases-loaded IBB. I just think it was really bold to bring up the winning run.

I don't think the book

ever says to bring up the winning run. You’re right, you’re scenario isn’t much different, but I don’t think that you walk him in that situation either. Maybe you pitch very carefully, but not a straight IBB. But that’s just me. Obviously it worked out fine.
