So...what's the way to lose today?

My thought is Millwood gives up 12 runners through 5 innings but is only losing 3-1. Then Benoit comes in during the 7th or 8th right after Rangers take the lead and gives up 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning and Rangers end up losing 8-6

That's very creative

And optimistic. I don’t have faith in Millwood going five innings and only giving up three runs.

I almost feel like I’m watching the Rangers daily just to see what new spectacular way they’ll lose this game. Last night’s dropped ball between Hamilton and Boggs was pretty outstanding and unexpected.

Awhile back, a guy I know blogged about (strange) ways to make baseball more interesting

He had a list of seven things. I think these four are my favorite… (please forgive the profanity and some offensive terms)

4) The home team is determined by a rousing game of team grabass. The rules are simply: Every member of each team, coaches and all, find a place on the playing field. When the whistle sounds, each participant tries to grab the ass of an individual on the opposing team. When an ass is grabbed, the grabbee is sentenced to the bench and his team proceeds without his services. When all of the members of one team are eliminated, the remaining team is named the victor and receive home team honors.
 
5) The length of the game is determined by the number of pushups the bench coach can do. Jamie Quirk can do 37 pushups? Well then we are playing 37 innings. Oh Sandy Alomar Sr. can only do 1 and a half? Well then the home team gets to bat twice. I guess you should have tried harder in that game of grabass.

6) The sixth inning, if applicable, is always Crazy Backwards Inning. The batters must do an about face at the plate and bat from the other side of the plate. Righties bat lefty and lefties bat righty. Switch hitters arent allowed to bat in the CBItheir wives take their places at the dish. Fielders must but their glove on the off hand and complete the inning throwing like their DNA strand got clipped and they lost the gene for heterosexuality.
 
7) A team that gives up three homeruns in an inning has to do a team naked run. That’s one lap around the stadium sans clothing. Its kind of like rolling double three times in Monopoly and having to go to jail, or getting skunked in Beirut (beer pong to some).

The dome in Minnesota is not fun to see a game in though

It has this weird noise….like the fans that are keeping the dome up. And the roof is the same color as the ball. And it’s just ugly.

Retractable roof

The only good solution for a baseball stadium. On nice April/May/September games, the roof can always stay open. During June/July/August, you’re going to pretty much close it each game.

Now that they have retractable roofs, I think MLB should mandate that the domes in Minny and Tampa Bay should be torn down by 2010.

You are an idiot

The topic was about why a dome wouldn’t be built in DFW. My point was, there are lots of reasons it wouldn’t be built. A lack of rain would be last on the list of things that would keep them from building a dome.

Ask yourself this, if Hicks is asked the question “Why don’t you build a domed stadium?”

Do you think he’d answer “Because it doesn’t rain enough here.”

Hmm...depends on how you qualify it.

But in terms of somebody who was already a professional, I would definitely have to give it to David Dellucci. I miss him so much.

Ended up getting books that from the bookstore would have cost me around $450-500 for $350 (Got 1 at the bookstore used since it was a <$10 difference from online price)

I am now...

nothing else on to watch at this point, plus it’s finally for a medal.

Actual competition?

What a concept. I hate when NBC shows the gymnastics “gala” instead of sports still competing for medals.

True that

his head does not look like it’s well shaped enough for a shave…

Buchholz.

He hasn’t looked very good (in the majors) all year. Gave up a bunch of runs tonight and got optioned to AA immediately after. His value is dropping and it doesn’t seem so outrageous to try to acquire him this offseason for one of our catchers +

Bear in mind.

I still don’t think it’s very likely, but I don’t think he’s quite as untouchable as people (myself included) once thought.

i would do it

but the thing is pitchers who are good before they come to Texas do really bad here, so imagine how bad he would do if he came here. hopefully its a reversal, fomer bad pitchers who come here now do good? :)

Damn, looks like I missed half of a really great game

Kudos to Metcalf and K-Mill – talk about two big suprises. We need to see more of this from them.

We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
