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

Okay
We need a big inning. Like a 5-7 run inning. Let’s make it happen offense.

From what I hear, yes
We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.
Also
They won’t have Tex, K-Rod, Kotchman and maybe even Vlad…who else might be gone from the team in 2009??
What's the rumpus?
Can they afford Hunter AND Matthews?

Anderson and Figgins
they have decisions on both those guys.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they resigned TEx.
Kevin Jepsen is another possibility
He was the closer for the olympic team and was, I believe, pretty impressive.
Kelvim Escobar
if he gets healthy, I’d bet he is the guy. But I’d really be surprised if they let K-Rod get away.
Warner Madrigal makes Ezequiel Astacio look downright handsome.
wow....
we got a second gameday thread.
I didn’t think I would see this for the rest of the season.
i like baseball too
I didn't think we'd see it at all
The way the first one started off.

MOTHER FUCKING
FUCK FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I ever met Scioscia, I am quite sure I would get the death penalty.
Fuck, what a bunch or whiney cunts on that team (sorry ladies).
I should go now…I’m getting all miles pissed (meaning immature).

Yeah
But don’t tell the Angel cheerleaders that.

I think he's had more of those in this series
then he did the whole season before it.

i was behind on the game
but that “call” is seriously the worst call i have seen in my life, even in little league.
i mean at first i was mad because i thot the ump said he didnt touch the plate but was safe on the 2nd tag but after TAG said that the ump was saying he touched it the first time i exploded.
this game should be played under appeal, he was 2 feet away from the plate AND went back to touch the plate
I give up
Out of spite
I refuse to spell Hunter’s name correctly…what kind of bull-shit is adding a second ‘i’? It’s a shitty enough name with just one
What's the rumpus?
I look forward to next year
where his kids will be mocked in school because their father sucks at the game of baseball.
And when their team is a distant 2nd looking up to the battle for dominance between the Rangers and the As.
It'll still be on BT Web Gems
just cuz it’s Hunter and he left this feet.

I'm not sure which CF I hate more
Him or Carlos Gomez.

and looks like one too
the better question is, Who is the Bigger Douche – Tori Hunter or Nick Swisher?
Hunter
And you’re right, Hunter is probably worse than Gomez.

1B?

Erstad
plays the game so right that he can play both at the same time. Who needs Hamilton and Davis?
We might as well convert him to catcher as well
and trade Salty, Laird, Teagarden, and Ramirez for Eckstein.
It must suck for you
to live in Astros land…I actually grew to like them while I lived there…It was the early ’90’s so I had no Ranger internet blogginess to sustain me. I was weak and they sucked me in…

I don’t usually leave a game before it ends…but with KRod coming in, I don’t want to chance an aneurysm…

Damn, I’m clever.
For the purpose of preservation
Here is how it currently reads:
Dale Allan Scott (born August 14, 1959 in Eugene, Oregon) is an umpire in Major League Baseball. He worked in the American League from 1986 to 1999, and has officiated in both leagues since 2000, becoming a crew chief in 2001. He has worn uniform number 5 throughout his career, and kept the number when the AL and NL umpiring staffs merged in 2000.
Scott began umpiring at age 15, and entered the minor leagues in 1981, eventually working his way up to the American Association. He umpired in the World Series in 1998, 2001 and 2004, and in the All-Star Game in 1993 and 2001. He has also worked in four League Championship Series (1996, 1999, 2000, 2002) and in eight Division Series (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007).
Among the more unusual games he has umpired was that of July 1, 1990, when he was the home plate umpire as Andy Hawkins of the New York Yankees pitched eight hitless innings in a road game against the Chicago White Sox, yet lost; it was only the second game in history in which a pitcher lost a complete game no-hitter. Also to be noted, for whatever reason Scott holds a grudge against Hawkins and any team he is currently associated with.
When the AL introduced red shirts in 1996, Scott frequently was the only umpire to wear the color, rather than the usual navy blue. He almost always wore the red shirt when working home plate, including Game 3 of the 1998 World Series at Qualcomm Stadium. He also decided to wear the red shirt to profess his admiration of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and to assure everybody that he will give them every call.
Dale Scott has one of the most distinctive called strike threes in the majors. The call involves stepping back from the plate turning left and a delivering a quick donkey punch to the Texas Rangers.
Scott worked as a radio personality at KBDF, a Top 40 station in Eugene, Oregon, in the late 1970s. He is an avid Oregon Ducks football fan, and often attends games at Autzen Stadium when given the opportunity. He prefers chemical-fueled, bareback sex.
Scott’s 2007 crew included Ron Kulpa, Paul Emmel and Dan Iassogna. Scott’s 2008 crew includes Mike Scioscia, Torii Hunter and Rex Hudler, who were all in assistance when he completely blew a call at home plate in a game between the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on August 30th, 2008

Also to be noted, for whatever reason Scott holds a grudge against Hawkins and any team he is currently associated with.
When the AL introduced red shirts in 1996, Scott frequently was the only umpire to wear the color, rather than the usual navy blue. He almost always wore the red shirt when working home plate, including Game 3 of the 1998 World Series at Qualcomm Stadium. He also decided to wear the red shirt to profess his admiration of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and to assure everybody that he will give them every call.
Dale Scott has one of the most distinctive called strike threes in the majors. The call involves stepping back from the plate turning left and a delivering a quick donkey punch to the Texas Rangers.
Scott worked as a radio personality at KBDF, a Top 40 station in Eugene, Oregon, in the late 1970s. He is an avid Oregon Ducks football fan, and often attends games at Autzen Stadium when given the opportunity. He prefers chemical-fueled, bareback sex.
Scott’s 2007 crew included Ron Kulpa, Paul Emmel and Dan Iassogna. Scott’s 2008 crew includes Mike Scioscia, Torii Hunter and Rex Hudler, who were all in assistance when he completely blew a call at home plate in a game between the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on August 30th, 2008.

fixed the first paragraph
Dale Allan Scott (born August 14, 1959 in Eugene, Oregon) is an “umpire” (at least that is what the paycheck says) in Major League Baseball. He worked in the American League from 1986 to 1999, and has officiated in both leagues since 2000, becoming a crew chief in 2001. He has worn uniform number 5 throughout his career, and kept the number when the AL and NL umpiring staffs merged in 2000.
Ha!
Mark Charles “Big Tex” Teixeira (pronounced /tʰɛˈʃɛɹə/ also know as Captain Douchebag

Just added this to Tex's
Making history
In 2005, Teixeira became the third switch-hitter in MLB history, after Eddie Murray and Chipper Jones, to hit at least 20 home runs in each of his first three seasons. He is also one of just seven players in Major League history to hit at least 100 home runs in his first three seasons joining Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio, Ralph Kiner, and Eddie Matthews as well as other current first base stars, Albert Pujols, Todd Helton, and Ryan Howard. His 2005 total of 144 RBI is a Major League record for a switch hitter. He also holds the records for most cheek puffs, ugliest home run trot and largest amount of doucheyness in one baseball player.

Fortunately, I remember it
Also known for looking like willy Randolph, he is referred to as “Figgy” by retarded Angel fans and announcers alike. Sane fans, including those of of the Texas Rangers refer to him as "cockroach".
There. That’s immortalized, at least.

I'd like to think so, but he might be due for a turd-game.
On the bright side, A-Rod grounded into another clutch DP in the 9th today.

Hey AJM
Can we get the subtitle of this thread changed to “the wikipedia thread”? It might make it easeir to find with LSB’s search engine in the future.
