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

Meh.

I’m probably not sticking around for all of this one unless it turns completely awesome. I couldn’t sleep until about 2 something this morning so I’m running on about three hours of sleep, and I usually need a solid eight.

Also

Yay for Cruz getting another shot, but Eddie’s departure overshadows it for me. I’m going to miss him.

I can do less than eight maybe one night

if I try to do it twice in a row, things get weird.

I’m going to hate the LAAAAAA series at the end of the week, especially since I can’t even sleep in Saturday as we’re leaving for an actual vacation.

Nowhere too awesome

down to Houston to catch an Astros game, then up to Round Rock the next day for a Round Rock Express game, then while we’re in the area we’re going to the ginormous San Marcos outlets, and possibly to tour the brewery in Shiner, Texas.

It’s the first time in the almost eight years we’ve been married that we are actually able to take time off at the same time.

hey that sounds ...

like a LOT of fun! I love San Marcos, great town.. I went to school there.
Hopefully that new tropical storm soon to be hurricane doesn’t impact the Houston leg of your trip.

I checked already

Forecast track says if it goes to Houston it’ll be after we’re left.

I’m frankly also looking forward to watching some baseball I’m not as emotionally invested in as I am with this freakin’ team.

I went quite a while ago :)

I didn’t finish there though…I would up transferring to San Diego State.
It was SWTSU back then…

Arias is fast and Davis strikes out. What?

:)

by zywica on Aug 25, 2008 6:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Huh?

I figured Arias would lead off because of his speed, but why wouldn’t Davis at least hit ahead of OMFT?

Just RW

and his horrible lineup making skills, but at least the Rangers have the best offense in baseball

Well Davis has been cold.

Ever since he made it to .300 BA, he dropped to .269 pretty quickly.

hitting Davis 9th…Really?

you all shouldn't get too attached to Davis...

…he will net us a good pitcher in the offseason.

by oc on Aug 25, 2008 7:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I can live with that,

but he still shouldn’t hit 9th…

Who’s gonna play 1B next year…I seriously doubt Hank’s option wil be picked up

I think the likelihood is getting better each day

I'm not talking about production

I’m talking about warm beating heart to occupy the defense at 1B

by awillis111 on Aug 25, 2008 7:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Shelton had his moments at 1B

Both good and bad. He was okay defensively compared to Botts, Cat and Broussard, but he was still below-average IMO.

A Lonestar in California

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

Who plays 1B in 2009?

Hank

at least until we can trade him

not watching the game but i saw the box score and was wondering how this happens…

cruz hits double
laird hits into fiedler’s choice

?

cruz, “my bad”

by gossamer on Aug 25, 2008 7:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah

Basically Laird hits a grounder right at the SS. Hit it pretty hard to not a little dribbler. Cruz broke for 3rd on contact and was out by a mile.
