Boggsie leading off?

Hmmm…. interesting. .342 OBP, so not a bad idea. I expected Vazquez to lead off.

by Oddibee on Aug 18, 2008 6:14 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

if galarraga shuts us down tomorrow.

it will be…. sad.
sigh @ losing kinsler.

anyway, if blalock does happen to stay healthy for a month, him at 1b, davis 3b, vazquez 2b… if hammy gets it going and bradley stays in the lineup the lineup should be fine.

that IF defense sounds pretty comical though.

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

10 out with 37 to play

and only have to make up 9.5 and 5 games on other teams. Why would anyone think they’re out of it?

All I know is, I sure hope Guardado is mentoring the hell out of their young relievers.

So here was kinslers final projections

.319/.375/.517 batting line for a .892 ops
133 runs
215 hits
24 homeruns
54 doubles
93 rbi
34 stolen bases
87 KS to 59 BB, very respectable ratio.

If he met those numbers, the doubles would have been a ranger record and the runs would have tied A-Rod.

OT: Anyone ever had to defend their castle from an invader?

I’ve got a neighbor who stole my water out of the main earlier this year and is wasted and repeatedly trying to get me to let him in to drink with him. I blew him off, so he’s pissed and has vandalized property in the neighborhood before. The town’s in gridlock right now with the hurricane closing in, so I don’t think the police would make it here on time. Sigh. It’s been nice knowing you, LSBers.

Where was Knox this past week or so when he wasn't at games?
