well at least bradley is available to pinch hit
its an improvement.
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
rangers will win
3 runs scored to 2 runs scored
http://www.buchanan4pres2008.org/
NIXON: NOW MORE THAN EVER
not yet
but i think the rangers play better when i pick a score. i’ve probably put that score up there about 30 times. they’ve probably won 17 or 18 of them :)

im going to pick a 6-5 victory
watch me be right in 1 try.

I don't know what will happen in this series
but I predict Andy Pettitte defeats Matt Harrison.

Where is the lineup?
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
lineup
1. Ian Kinsler
2. Gerald Laird
3. Michael Young
4. Josh Hamilton
5. Marlon Byrd
6. David Murphy
7. Chris Davis
8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia
9. Ramon Vazquez
Salty and Laird are playing

Who else is really feeling G Laird in the 2-hole?
"Sooner or later, prospects kill you, because you hang onto them." - Greggo, 11/22/2005
I agreen
i mentioned it yesterday. I dig laird in the 2 spot. he is the O(MFT)NLY person with the ability to move runners.
er....of course,
the down side to that is you don’t get the power of the Notto bat in the lineup since he is dh-ing
Big game tonight.
And by “big game”, I mean that I’d like to see the Rangers win.
Let’s do this!

Our newspaper is doing pretty well, although we’re likely on the verge of being sold. My boss won’t be upfront about it, which is aggravating, but I figure I can’t really worry about it too much. I just have to roll with whatever happens.
I’m trying to get out of newspapers though. At 28, I’m simply burned out.

At least it's my main city council
They are efficient. I’d be surprised if the meeting took 45 minutes. Now, I also cover a smaller town (1,200 people), and their council meetings can last FOUR HOURS or more. Ugh.

There was this guy on the ESPN boards
He posted under the handle “RangersKnight”.
He claimed to be a prison guard with a law degree from Texas A&M University (which doesn’t have a law school) and several classic cars, along with a rare poster of the Baywatch girls naked (there were only 7 printed, he claimed).
He said that he once took a girl to a Rangers game, and she “slobed my nobe.”
Your play-by-play of waiting for your date last night made me think of him.

Said the coaches have made a change to TD style, strongly encouraging him to use his lower body more, to get more velo. They have him on a goal of 95mph before the end of the season. Also, he will most likely shut ‘er down when Frisco enters the playoffs.

One hour ago from Peter Abraham
UPDATE, 6:54 p.m.: We talked to Mariano Rivera, who said to check back with him after BP as he wants to play catch first. He seemed to be moving a little stiffly. Marte would close if needed.
Sounds pretty 50-50 to me.

THERE’S ACTION IN THE METS BULLPEN (circa 1989)
This was not a stroke of brilliance. Poor David Cone. Guy wins 194 games in the majors, wins two strikeout titles, a Cy Young Award and earns five World Series rings in a career that is borderline Cooperstown-worthy, but thanks to some ink-stained wretch whose name will never be known, he’ll always be dogged by that immortal tabloid headline WEIRD SEX ACT IN BULLPEN.It wasn’t weird at all. Every guy does that. It’s just that few will do what Cone allegedly did in the Shea Stadium bullpen in 1989, giving Little David some air and a thorough massage in front of three female fans. The incident led to the women filing an $8.1 million US sexual harassment suit against the right-hander.
(One hesitates to say right-hander in this case, given how much we know about how pitchers try to limit use of their throwing hand for non-baseball activities.)

Oh, that didn’t count. He managed to strike out Giambi.

I hope this crew of umps doesn't follow this one's lead
Now showing up the UMP might be an issue that will lead to an even more miserable series.
if the umpires want to save their jobs with replay becoming more and more likely
they need to really start policing themselves or allow an outside group (within MLB) to do it for them.
My solution: Install Questec in every park and dock umpires ‘points’ for every obvious ball or strike miscalled and at the end of a season, you have to have a certain number of points to keep your job.

the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is
To expound.
I believe the batter counts as a baserunner, so if you attempt to deceive the batter (like, say, coming set, then going forward and not throwing the ball), you can be called for a balk, and a ball will be added to the count.
Don’t ask me how I know this.

Thanks for the explanation.

I did some research

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balk
and they confirmed what I thought: by definition, a balk can only occur with runners on base. No ball is granted on a pitcher’s action that would be considered a balk if there was a runner on base. The one case where a ball is granted is if the pitcher does an illegal quick pitch.
The batter gets a called ball

Padilla is the slowest pitcher alive
to the plate. You can fall asleep and wake up before he actually decides on a pitch.
Unfortunately, at this rate...
Padilla will be done after 5 or 6 at best. Needs to throw fewer pitches.
