It's games like this that make me feel sorry for Wash.
Seriously, he’s got to be thinking he’s cursed. His pitching sucks and when it doesn’t his defense turns to shit.

now i like this. I know it’s a tree and it’s like things are so bad I want to die . But I got so pissed at my vegetable garden the other day cause my pepper plants started to get these strange hole like bites in the peppers. And my Egg plants which by the way is the first year I planted them have started to bend over and dragging the ground even after I staked them. My Tomatoes are still doing very good and my cucumbers have been really good but are starting to die out. Overall good veggies I’ve got this year but I’ve also had some problems and wanted to hang myself cause of several things. Nevermind.. just a garden rant

The Kuebler-Ross Model of Rangers Pitching
Step 1: Denial (It’s just bad luck, none of the balls were hit that hard…. If it was 5 inches to the left, they’d been outs)
Step 2: Anger ( WHY CAN’T YOU THROW A FUCKING STRIKE???!!? )
Step 3: Bargaining ( If we just hold them to 2 runs this inning, our offense will have a chance in the bottom of the 9th! )
Step 4: Depression ( Another 3-run home run by a scrub… why do I even bother… )
Step 5: Insanity ( Don’t worry, we have a ton of up-and-coming prospects who will turn into aces in a couple of years! )
Dude, you've got it all wrong
YOU SUCK!!!! Why you dissin tha Red n’ Blue!?!

Personally, as the guy identified as Young's biggest fan around here ...
I really wish they’d give the 200 hits bit a rest. He hasn’t been the same hitter this season, largely because he rarely hits for any power any more and instead has started slap-hitting. The last thing he needs is encouragement to continue that trend in hopes of achieving a meaningless milestone.
IM TIRED OF THIS SHITTY TEAM PLAYING EVEN SHITTIER THAN POSSIBLE
fire Ron Washington. hes a complete dumbass. doesnt know how to make a lineup, he certainly has no fucking idea how to manage a bullpen, i mean seriously Padilla has thrown over 100 pitchers and just gave up a homer to Matt Joyce yet he leaves him out there then bam another homer he finally wakes up, and he cant teach worth shit, the only reason we are even around .500 is because of Rudy, Rons says you have to win by pitching and defense yet we are last in both
sign a 3 good free agent pitchers, 2 bullpen and one starter.
Then trade away all of our hitters who have any value and get some pitching. young, kinsler, HAMILTON, laird,etc.

yeah!

our pitching staffs sure have been kickass this century.
You think we would just go all out and unload hitters for pitching even if you have to enomormously overpay.

A fantastic 1-5 that go 9 IP a game and win every game 0-0
but get the win based on the fact that they never throw a ball.

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
The kid
is in the pen getting ready to warm up a pitcher and is called to the dugout at the last minute to hit for Bradley (because Bradley decides his knee hurts and can’t hit) without even a few swings off a tee for warm-up and everyone is on his case for striking out. Come on!
One of the things that bugs me
It seems every other time I see him vs. LHP he has a different batting stance or timing mechanism batting right-handed. He just hasn’t seemed able to figure things out from the right side this year, which is why I wish we had sent him to AAA immediately after the trade deadline and gotten him some more AB’s.
He’s actually hitting a solid .291/.415/.418 against RHP this year, but you wouldn’t know it thanks to the fact that he’s 12-for-74 against LHP. His struggles from the right side of the plate have really skewed his season #’s in a big way.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
Jon, do you remember
when he first came here and he hit pretty good with the so called Sheffield waggle with his bat? That was a mechanism that worked well for him and got him comfortable. Well, The powers that be stopped him from doing it and he has been struggling since. It doesnt help that they keep changing things almost every at bat. Swing at the first pitch, take the first pitch, open stance, close stance, wiggle the bat, don’t wiggle, open the lead foot, close the lead foot etc etc etc. Its almost like someone wants him to be successful with a different swing so they can take credit for it. Crazy. He wants to go back to what felt comfortable but he is thinking he wouldnt get any playing time at all if he did. They need to just leave him alone. Injuries have not made anything easier either. He will work it out off season and come to ST strong.
Probably pulled a stomach muscle..
throwing up after seeing the Hamilton/Boggs play…

He’s awful. I love that they played the promo with him saying “It looks like it’s going to be a magical summer in Arlington!” during the game.
Magical!?!?!

If 5 games out of the Wild Card lead in late-July is “magical”, then I can only imagine how he’d react to a real pennant race.

I know not many people are left but

Did they have BMX in Ancient Greece? They did those nude too. Would not be comfortable with exposed skin next to so many moving parts.

"We go to Jim Knox..."

Not sure if you want the real reason
but they took baseball out because the sports biggest stars don’t play. They took softball out because the US team beats everyone by 10 runs and never gives up hits, let alone runs.
I'm sure the softball thing is legit
But the concept of baseball somehow lacking due to professionals not playing seems to make little sense. I’m fine with rosters of minor league teams being picked clean for the games (though I’m sure GM’s are not). In theory, the best from every other country is playing in the majors anyway so it is not like one country has a competitive advantage anyway (maybe Cuba).
What I don’t seem to understand is that it is still a largely international game with devoted followings in numerous countries. The more I think about it, the more I’m realizing that it’s probably mostly politics since the major players in the Olympics are mostly developed European countries (France, GBrit, Spain, e.g. places without a tradition of baseball period.)
I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that no one would care. Between all of the Americas (North, Central, and South) and a sizeable chunk of the Pacific Rim, it would seem that there are certainly enough players available.

Olympics
Just an opinion. The Olympics consists of individual performances. Even the team scores are a collection of individual performances, except volleyball, baseball, and softball. If you think about it, the ‘team’ scores in gymnastics depend heavily on sobjective anlaysis of those individual performances for the event, and it’ isn’t a lock that participants in the team event will have spots in the individual apparatus or all around competition.
Baseball and softball are probably the only true team sports, with results of play being codependent on multiple players at the single play level, with volleyball a distant third. So dumping team sports is, in a way, in keeping with traditional Olympic virtues and standards.
I left out basketball, which will be left in for now, because it’s the international cash cow. Maybe that will change some time too.

just wondering
does anyones browser sorta bog down when the game day thread is over like 400 post? I use Firefox and sometimes IE but with both when the game thread is overloaded with post and pics my browser tends to start like skipping with a jump in it. I was thinking it might be a memory problem

do you notice how there are often 2 to... 4 gameday threads?
its not because its fun to make extra threads.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Feliz pitched a 5.2 innings with no hits and 2 walks. so how long until he gets traded for Michael Hernandez?
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
Trade him back for Teixera
Could use another bat.
"We go to Jim Knox..."
"Why are you yelling? You're a foot from me..."
Yep, Daniels read your post and offered the Angels
and then Tony Reaggins just laughed and said “i’ll do you favor and decline”
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
Whatever
Tex loves it here. He said so himself.
Also loves Atlanta. He said so himself.
Gawd me disgusts me.
"We go to Jim Knox..."
"Why are you yelling? You're a foot from me..."

Tommy Hunter will be the best pitcher on the Rangers for the next two years

"We go to Jim Knox..."
"Why are you yelling? You're a foot from me..."

At least you got to see them in the playoffs.

Tommy Hunter will be the best pitcher on the Rangers for the next two years
Ugh...
I don’t know how much more of this I can take. These last 2 weeks have been horrible.
At first I was upset they lost the lead, then when it got to 10-3 I was laughing and shaking my head. The pitching has to get better sometime before 2010 right?

Its just a matter of when Feliz and Holland get up here
Tommy Hunter will be the best pitcher on the Rangers for the next two years
That's why I said 2010...
Feliz/Dutch start the year as the Rangers 4/5 starters and end it as the Rangers 1/2 starters. I’ve got to hold out hope.

Tommy Hunter will be the best pitcher on the Rangers for the next two years
