Is the FOTF sitting out tonight?

and is Big Bad Vlad back to terrorize us again?

by bstair on Sep 20, 2008 6:06 PM CDT   0 recs

hes "quesitonable" per the dmn blog,

heh.

no real lineup yet.
im beginning to come around on forgiving his post-injury performance a bit though.

the preceding post was a great success.

by DSheppard on Sep 20, 2008 6:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He's in there according to MLB gameday

Vlad that is.

Lineup,

Michael Young is out tonight, though available to pinch-hit. He said he could start but doesn’t want to mess things up if he has to leave early again.

Joaquin Arias, 2b

German Duran, ss

Josh Hamilton, cf

Milton Bradley, dh

Marlon Byrd, lf

Hank Blalock, 1b

Nelson Cruz, rf

Gerald Laird, c

Chris Davis, 1b

per FWST.

davis

for the love of all that is holy what does he have to do to hit higher in the order?

did he screw wash’s dog or something?

it absolutely boggles the mind

Larid!?

Does his .125 batting average over the past week demand he be kept in the lineup? Thats 4 in a row. With the offday, it will be at least 5 days in between TT starts.

Is sick right now, supposedly.

hmm

i checked the injury report on dmn before posting, but i guess that doesnt count as an injury.
well ok then. still annoying though.

Then play Max

We know what Laird has, and that’s an insatable desire to slide on his belly.

So some random thoughts...
  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch is quite possibly the best cereal ever invented.
  • I’m convinced I’m not really “cool” enough to “get” Lookout Landing, and thereby declare it the most pompous avenue on the web.
  • I cannot handle playing cards with five nieces below the age of 7.
  • Apparently there are two versions of Saigon’s “Letter P”; the one I just saw on an episode of Entourage, and the crappy one I just downloaded.
  • I should be in charge of YouTube Friday.

Yay, the game is on TV out here

Well, yay from the standpoint that I get to see it, boo from the standpoint that Rex Hudler is in the booth.

Sorry the Texas State name change can’t hide the fact that it was and still is SWT in its heart and soul…

Texas State/SWT

is about 10x a better school than SFA. Texas State is actually one of the more selective schools in the state now. Around 30k enrollment this year. It’s not the same SWT as it used to me.

by TxStCa on Sep 20, 2008 7:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

a friend of mines father is involved in the AD there

still the same things going on, just a larger enrollment. Fortunately they are finally moving up in the academic part. Rather impressed with the work being done in their accounting dept.

SFA is still a joke. The UT dean of Ed to took over as Pres pretty much bankrupted the school and the academics never got better.

I'm watching the game on TV in the other room

But I’m still technically here. Guess you, me a LAMF are the only ones so far though.

…And back-to-back 2 out walks by Padilla. Sigh.

Lots of great stuff in the last few episodes. Probably my favorite thing about the show is how little they have changed in how each episode is done. A lot of shows can’t do that.
