The one thing I want to happen in this game
dustin pedroia: 0 for 6
the preceding post is not nearly as negative or insulting as you think it is

well...
i guess you want that for bradley’s chance at rbis, but doesn’t pedroia bat 4th or 5th? i want him to have 4 at bats only. or better yet, only 3 :)

Tied 9-9 in 8th. Can listen at spokaneindians.com if you want a pre-Rangers fix.

Lineup
Someone in the media needs to ask Wash wtf.
by Adam J. Morris on Sep 5, 2008 6:18 PM CDT 0 recs
Isn't Wash wanting to use the 9 hole as a "second leadoff" hitter
If that’s the case, why the hell do you use a slugger in that spot? Cruz or Laird even make a better choice than Davis for that.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

lineup
i think washington is on some mind altering drugs or something. that or he throws darts at a dartboard to decide the lineup. but why on earth he bATS arias leadoff is beyond me when he says he cant bat davis higher because hes too young

i sense a huge blowout being handed to us by the red sox
millwood has had 3 great starts in a row, so hes due for a millwood outing
we are 0-7 against the sox
and beckett is pitching
I give up

A better question
Would be which Ranger pitcher has the fourth-highest VORP this year. I bet nobody could guess that one without cheating.

TS Hanna
Probably going to cause me to lose satellite here real soon. It does look like it is starting to move more westward toward the SC coast though off of its northernly path. Hopefully power stays on though.
Is it wrong to care about losing satellite and missing a meaningless Ranger game with a TS on the way?

Ugh,
I might not watch the rest of this game if I hear another let’s go red sux chant. I was going to go tonight, but I didn’t want to get in a fight with a dumb ass bandwaggon red sux fan.

i know what you mean
i actually dont mind the redsox but for the love of god i cant stand when im in my teams stadium and i feel im rooting for the visitors
i got tired of it last season at a cubs game and nearly lost my voice out screaming people

I greatly enjoyed the stadium cheering for the away team once.
It was when I was at a Cowboys game in Seattle and we slightly outnumbered and greatly drowned out the Seahawks fans.

its unreal
i can remember going to games against the red sox back in the late 90’s during the pedro years, they were a good team. you would see a few people wearing red sox stuff, they have always been a popular team, but not nearly enough to start chants or hear cheering over the tv. this ALLstarted when espn started marketing them as the anti yankees, and ‘the curse’ after the 2003 alcs. its disgusting how stupid people are.

Yeah
It sucked. We’re trading in our tickets for Sunday’s game.
I mean, yeah, sure, cheer for your team or whatever, but this was obnoxious to a new level. The Yankee fans weren’t this obnoxious. Up 8-0 in the 9th inning, and you’re cheering balls? Puhleeze.

Small sample size and all, but. . .
. . . John Dewan’s system really likes Blalock at first. Not that I think many people disagreed that he could probably be a good first baseman.

I think I’ll note that some players just should not wear high socks. Chris Davis is one of those players.
