Well, we didn't have some old fart giving up a bunch of runs the the top of the 9th this time
So there is hope.
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
No
I’t’s not “old fart” Jon. It’s using inbred backwoods country crossroads hillbilly quasi-pitchers who show up for a few relief outings then walk three in their first relief inning thereafter. Aug 31 be damned, I’d clean out this 40 roster by noon tomorrow. Get rotally rid of all “should be but didn’t " and "should be but can’t” and all misjudgments about being viable major league players. And I might do it by throwing darts at a poster board for the 40.
I angrily posted over on NMLR after Rupe’s total surrender to incompetence tonight that I need to watch the Hitler team assessment a few times, so I can settle down enough to sleep. This is actually the first Ranger game in a long time, if ever, that physically made me sick. I can handle losses. Blowouts, 3-2, 2-1 whatever. But not gagging up 7-1 leads. Nope. Not at all.

He’s a remarkable combo of creepy and unfunny.

Like Jim Knox?

Grienke in return?
If so so be it.
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
not quite what i was hoping for from CD =(
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
So where do you get those graphs?
The ones that show the probability of a team winning? Someone posted one in the last thread but comments were closed.
arias actually got to bat, lol
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
Okay
So, we’d rather have Arias up as the tying run than Cat?

He had 2 hits
So Ron probably thought he was “swinging the bat well tonight”.

You know, im starting to get to the point i want all the rangers games to progress like this game
Young starter does well, offense produces, old bull pen comes in and helps gurantee a better draft slot

I will make it happen for you
Now you have greenage!

Agreed
Offense doesn't doubt me, but my first and primemost thing is defense and punt return and kickoff return

I hate that we're at the point where we're consoling ourselves by thinking about draft position
But I can’t help but agree.

that was well outside
die
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
So the Rangers are up 7-1
Then lose the game…sounds about right…

Nice, a half a foot outside on a called strike.

Odd.
Thanks.
I still hate this LSB 2.0 by the way. Not that anybody cares.

One word to describe this game
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
That was the last one, I promise
After the 5th inning, there wasn’t really much else to do tonight but search photobucket’s stock of fail.

2 possibilities in this one...
Red = Bullpen
Black = Starters
Red = Indians
Black = Rangers

Thread 3...
The Rangers offense bludgeons the pitching staff to death in the clubhose after the game is over thread.

That would be nice to see
someone needs to punish the rangers pitching more so than the other teams do already
You know
For awhile there, it seemed like Wash was getting better at his job, but he’s slipped back into his old ways the last couple nights. Taking Bradley out of last night’s game early and pulling McCarthy prematurely tonight really screwed us. It’s really too bad… even I, one of his biggest critics was starting to think maybe he’d turned some kind of a corner, but… nope.

Uh yeah, it just might have
He was wild, but effectively wild tonight. I really don’t think he would have given up 6 runs int he bottom of the 5th.

WTF??
The guy is making his first start of the year after being hurt. He had to warm up several different times before the game because of the weather. The team is winning by 6 runs in a meaningless game in late August.
And you are bitching because the manager pulled him too early after throwing 75 pitches in only 4 innings?
You are a fucking moron.

cleveland did walk off the field.
to me, abortion is not a religious issue, it's a common sense one...
i missed the game
1st one i’ve missed since May, and im really glad i chose this one, 6-run lead blown, because if i watched this live i would have a broken remote.
can someone give me recap? seems like mccarthy did pretty well, would you guys say he pitced better or worse than his line? rupe’s line looks pretty bad
I give up
ooo, getting chippy
stupid Spaniards.
to me, abortion is not a religious issue, it's a common sense one...
spain playing very dirty
that lost shot by wade, the spain defender tried to blow out his knee…
to me, abortion is not a religious issue, it's a common sense one...
damn
this is a rough game, spain is fouling the shit out of us….oh and I was at the Rangers game tonight, I wanted to jump off the roof
Spain is complaing about every damn call
they could kick us in the nuts then take a shit on our face and complain about getting called for a foul.
How's Dshep's ass taste?
well that was too close
but it works.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
