haha

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

Hey Telegraph, This is absolute gold man....Im definately impressed...yeah i rec in a game thread

 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! )

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.

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.

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.

There needs to be some bonding for the second tier players.

Pull the tarp out and send Vazquez, Metcalf, Arias, Boggs, and Salty out there for some slip ’n slide.

No, In Des Moines, Iowa. Apparently the same thing.

I have figured out the problem with my dating strategies. I am simply not a “love at first sight” girl. Someone has to get to know me to like me. And that is not possible through speed dating or online dating (both of which I’ve tried and FAILED at).

pull the ole double streak to double the necessary security and help escaping. NO WAIT, we both throw the money at him during the dot race then run straight out the left field gate where the dots come out and straight out of the stadium

…if you were on that podium, would you be singing along with the national anthem or just stand there like some of our athletes have done?

I’d be afraid to sing because I might forget some of the words in all the emotion…

Anthem

I saw some athlete one time saying that the reason he didn’t sing was because it never occurred to him to do it, with about ten million other things going through his mind. Could have just been an excuse, but it seems reasonable.

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.

by uthornfan on Aug 19, 2008 11:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.
