if mccarthy wern't starting i might not be too interested
but i really want to see him continue his success, hopefully a little more “legit” looking this time.
lets go bmac.

Lineup
Arias, Vazquez and Young hitting 1-2-3…
And Byrd playing and Boggs on the bench despite Byrd saying he’s still hurt…
Wash is not a Boggs fan, it does not appear.

Geez
Just geez.
One minute Wash is saying witty things about Gerald Laird, the next he’s risking Marlon Byrd’s health in september. Arrrrggg…

lineup
is there a worse 1-2-3 being run out there today?
and there are 2 outfielders needing to play every day right now, cruz and boggs.
byrd needs to rest for a bit and think of more things to complain about

JD...
is going to have to deal Byrd for Wash to not put him in the lineup.
Should be worth more now than last year anyway.

speaking of which
favorite moment of the season anyone?
hammy walkoff is up there of course.
the moment the rangers passed the redsox in that 17-15 game or whatever it was is up there and was the last really good moment of the season.

That is definitely up there
The home run derby was pretty sweet, even though it’s not technically part of the season. I remember that I was hoping he would at least hit one really gigantic home run and then I would be OK if that was the only one.

That's tough
Here are a few that stick out…
- Hamilton’s walk-off against the Angels.
- Byrd’s walk-off GS against the Yankees.
- That rally we had in Boston, even though it ended in a loss.
- Seeing all the young guys come up…and contribute.
- Max Ram’s strange 3-2-5 double play.

Hamilton walkoff is the big one for me, no question
Although that time Vicente Padilla K’d the side with the bases loaded in Seattle in May sticks with me for some reason.

That's the first time
I’ve heard it, either in person Friday or on TV yesterday. But, the Let’s Go Red Sox has been pretty audible. Rangers fans were way outnumbered Friday, but it sounded about even yesterday.

I hate to admit it
But he just might have a shot at MVP. He’s hitting .366 with a 1.015 OPS in the second half, and .450 so far this month. He’s passed Kinsler in VORP for second baseman. I hate the little bugger, but he’s been insanely good since the ASB. Insanely.

The guy who sits behind us
(the guy who could be heard yelling GERALD in Tuesday’s game) – yells through the entire game. I admire his stamina. One of my favorite things he yells is “Let’s Go Brandon (no relation to Wade) Boggs!”.
Friday he added “Let’s Go Josh (no known relationship to Alexander) Hamilton!”
