kins needed a day off and all

Kinsler gets a "mental break"
I believe Kinsler could learn from Michael Young and Derek Jeter about staying even.

Looks like a much needed
day off for Kins. He deserves it, actually Hams probably could use one too.

Yeah he sure is
And then as soon as he can’t beat out a ending inning double play because of his quad people would be bitching about he shouldn’t be playing hurt.

Got to be the weakest lineup of the year
But Kinsler does need some time off, should have DH him, oh well going to be a bad month either way.

Boggs and Cat switch
Boggs as DH
Cat in LF
Wonder what that’s all about…

What is the reasoning for not putting him on the DL?
Nippert=Cy Young
by RA Dickey on Aug 8, 2008 5:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well
I don’t think they expected it to be this long, then he pinch hit a few days ago, meaning they couldn’t back date it to the first game he missed, and now he is close to returning.

by oc on Aug 8, 2008 5:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Should have just DL'd
him right away. The guy is obviously banged up and has been all year. Probably would have done him and the team more good to just put him on the shelf for 15.

Yeah but...
He drew the walk, before Laird drew the walk, before Hammy drew the walk, that allowed Marlon Byrd hit the walk off grand slam.
by tyd3311 on Aug 8, 2008 5:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
At the same time
I like the fact that he is not satisfied with going on the DL and is trying to fight through it and not let the team down. He can live up to his rep when he’s playin’ for someone else…

because we will actually be out and miss almost all of this game. So, it won’t be a blowout loss I can feel good about missing, it’ll be some royal ass-whooping that I’ll watch on the Tivo as I read through the gameday thread.

Oh I definitely agree
I just don’t remember seeing an opening ceremony that was so massive. I guess China does have plenty of people to contribute though.

It's really big and pageantry
Which is what the opening ceremonies should be. I bet it’d be even more amazing in person. I admit it’s a little slow on tv though.

I absolutely despise
pitchers like Nippert.
They have big arms and throw the ball a million miles per hour but they can’t get anybody out and every inning is a titanic 30 pitch battle that drains the energy from the team.

He probably dazzles pitching coaches and scouts
with all his physical tools but for those of us who follow the game from the statistical side, these pitchers absolutely suck!!
They’ll have that one good outing out of five which buys them more time to “harness their ability.”
I know the organization is down to the dregs because of all the injuries but IF this thing ever becomes successful, Dustin Nippert will be the fuck out of Dodge.

Sheesh,
he was a waiver-wire claim who has already been DFA’d and recalled this year. That kinda tells you what he is.
To get any value out of him, even as a mop-up man, is a major coup.
I don’t expect to see him back here next year, but I could see him putting it together sometime.

I hate the Cowboys
I remember when the Rangers were doing so well back in the late 90s when the Rangers were winning. During the second week of August right in the heat of the playoff race all of the media focused on was how Cowboys camp was going to start in a couple weeks while the Rangers who were winners got no air time. Ever since then, I’ve had a total disdain for the Cowboys.

What would be your definitiong of a national following?
Would you say a team that has relatively strong popularity across the country? One that moves the most merchandise, or pulls in the best ratings in its sport? Or one that is found by Forbes to be the most lucrative franchise in its sport? Or found by a Rueters poll and an SI to be the most popular team in professional sports?
Would you claim the Yankees don’t have a national following? I think you may be in denial.

Might want to check the sources then.
The Cowboys are still extremely popular.
Hell, the NFL Network just last year had a special on “Who’s REALLY America’s Team,” and decided on the Cowboys.
While the term America’s Team is kind’ve silly, there are multiple teams that have strong national followings, and the Cowboys are one of them and probably the most popular of them.
by philkid3 on Aug 8, 2008 8:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
No doubt that they are still one of the most popular teams
I just wasn’t sure they were still considered “America’s Team” what with the Patriots’ new found dynasty. However, I won’t argue with anyone that claims that the Cowboys are indeed still considered the title holders.

The Patriots also now have a national following.
They haven’t quite passed the older teams of serious popularity, but they’ve approached it.
The NFL Films special included the Steelers, Cowboys, Patriots and Packers.

Talking to a couple friends of mine in a football chat and had to share this discussion with them.
Here were the reactions.
Chargers Fan, Los Angeles
Andrewettes (6:53:50 PM): there are so many cowboys fans in cali
Andrewettes (6:53:53 PM): it’s not even funny
Andrewettes (6:54:00 PM): everwhere you look its cowboys raiders rams
Colts Fan, Indiana
TheShiningWizrd (6:54:02 PM): The Cowboys are the 2nd or 3rd most popular team around here
TheShiningWizrd (6:54:36 PM): Steelers or Cowboys around here, outside of the obvious
Steelers Fan, Georgia

And it's the same thing out here.
There are mostly Seahawks fans out here, and after that Cowboys fans are everywhere.
I went to a Seahawks-Cowboys game and Dallas fans outnumbered them (Seahawks fans are pretty lukewarm, so that’s like what the Yankees did to us in Arlington).

I'm aware they have fans everywhere
But I think the term “America’s Team” is a bit arrogant. It implies everyone in the nation CARES how the Cowboys fare. Some people couldn’t care less.

Maybe.
But you called me delusional when I said they have a national following. That’s not the same as saying “I think America’s Team is arrogant.”
Besides, it’s not a title created by the Cowboys, it’s a title created by NFL Films. Should a team not take on such an awesome marketing slogan?
When fans use it it’s intetional hyperbole, usually. You probably shouldn’t take it so seriously. The NFL markets the America’s Team thing FAR more than the Cowboys themselves do.
Regardless, that’s all beside the point. The America’s Team monicker is definitely silly (but still fun). But saying they have a national following is not “delusional.”

Okay
So maybe saying “delusional” was wrong. I just remember living near Dallas and the fans there acting like they were the epicenter of the football world. Annoying. And I hated that the constant countdown to Cowboys coverage.

The Broncos get arguably even more coverage.
Relative to the Rockies.
Here the Seahawks get more coverage than the Mariners this time of year, easily, though not necessarily to the same extent.
But that’s because the Seahawks are less popular than the Cowboys and the Mariners are more popular than the Rangers.

The Rangers aren't very often that good, either.
Right now, with smoke and mirrors, they have a record that’s slightly better than their mediocre performance.
The Cowboys won 13 games.
And, like I said, even when the Mariners aren’t terrible, they don’t get as much coverage. And we’re up north.

But certainly you can look around you and get it, right?
I don’t care about the Olympics, but I don’t sit here wondering why they get so much coverage or thinking they don’t deserve it.
As far as not buying in to the hype, I’m not exactly sure what that means. You mean the history? A team with a tremendous offense that won 13 games last year and barely lost to the world champs in the playoffs? A team that’s had countless GREAT players, and has won more conference titles than any other team and as many Super Bowls as anyone else?

They haven’t won a playoff game in over 10 years, so if you are going to make the argument that the Cowboys should tons of coverage because of the their non-recent history then the 49ers should be getting tons of coverage too….

Because with history comes fan interest.
And with fan ineterst comes ratings.
So with fan interest comes news coverage.
You really don’t see how the Cowboys history would make them more popular than the Rangers? People from a couple generations - both mine and my father’s - who grew up in the area saw championships and great players.
The Rangers have delivered none of the former and very little of the latter.
