should be an interesting lineup
with murphy out long term, surely boggs doesnt need to be ahead of davis in the lineup v righties on a daily basis.
and hopefully bradley can finally step up now that the lineup is (and yes, murphy to boggs is a significant downgrade v righties imo) hurt a bit more.

Lineup
2B Ian Kinsler
DH Frank Catalanotto
SS Michael Young
CF Josh Hamilton
RF Marlon Byrd
LF Brandon Boggs
C Gerald Laird
1B Chris Davis
3B Ramon Vazquez
Per DMN.

booo.
come on, what logic is there behind boggs above davis in a semi-permanent lineup spot.
davis has hit righties better. hes hit lefties better. he hit in better lineup spots in the minors. he only has a few less at bats.
id rather have davis face some lefty the other team brings in then boggs facing a setup/closing calibur righty late in the game.

I guess
Boggs can handle the pressure of batting 6th better than Davis.

Just now recovering
From getting hammered in the bleacher seats at last nights game. DAMN Yankees fans everywhere, you have to bring your A game to the ballpark.
I was all up in Mariano’s grill while he was warming up, but I guess I was not as effective as I thought…
Tonight though, be afraid.

We're crushing the Yankees tonight. 14 to 5

Sigh... yea, I had been picking the Yankees as a reverse jinx
but it didn’t work last night. What the hell… Rangers 8-5.
Aikman and Bradshaw?
Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

let see....
My predictions so far-
Tues- was complete opposite of what I said.
Wed- I was dead on.(even though I was hoping I would jinx the Yankees)
tonight-
I see usual Mussina only giving up 3 runs through 6 2/3….and the yankees bullpen maybe giving us 1 run.
I see feldman pitching well most of the night, but he will have that 1 inning in which he gets torched for 4 runs.
Rangers lose 6-4. Rivera gets another save. I wish his freakin arm would fall off.
by clinton33 on Aug 7, 2008 6:17 PM CDT 0 recs
I have a feeling
we’re gonna see Wash get tossed after Mussina’s knucklecurve repeatedly gets called for a strike a foot high and a foot outside the zone.

What did we do to make room on the 40 for him?
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

on the radio pregame a while ago
it was explained that the standard white uni’s are double knit or something, and hard to wear in the heat over the sleeveless or the “cool breeze” or whatever fabric the blue ones are.

She was screaming
at ARod and then rung him up when he struck out so she must be a Rangers fan.

TAG: "When you watch this guy play, you don't look at him and think that's a guy who has those numbers."
That was TAG on Brandon Boggs. His argument for how Boggs has been “better than his numbers.”
To me, that’s an argument for why you don’t get that much just from watching and TAG was doing his best Tim McCarver impression.
Not that I don’t like Boggs. He also sneezed at his 5 assists, but that’s actually pretty good.
by philkid3 on Aug 7, 2008 7:11 PM CDT 0 recs
the problem with his average
is that he doesn’t play everyday, so they could argue that .244 might not be that bad, especially for a fourth outfielder

I wouldn't even bother looking at batting average.
Frankly, I wouldn’t bother looking much at any of the stats they listed, it was the idea of the statement.
