The Ballpark

hola amigo's and amiga's!

 

LSB's favorite anti-hero is back! I figure since school was cancelled today and the roads are icy and I have a few extra minutes I would right a diary about certain things.

 

Let's start with the RBIA...

I read and saw the changes coming to the ballpark and I like them. However, I don't understand why they are keeping the same tired scoreboard above right field. They need a new board, one like the one down in Austin would be pretty sweet!  I also think that they should really focus on making the outfield walls match and keeping them the same color. It looks horrible and cheap on TV when you have multi colored green wall.  I also propose that the wall behind home plate become brick (like houston, philly, baltimore, etc) What do y'all think and do you propose any changes you would like taken at the RBIA.

Now the new uni's...

I like 'em! I like the new red, the new homes and roads, I am so-so on the all blue and the batting helmet is whack but it could grow on me. I really wish they brought back the all blue cap with the red 'T' I like the black shoes and belts and I like the style of font they have used on them.

On the Roster for next season and 2010...

I think they should go out and get Sheets, trade padilla now and keep Millwood until the All-star break and then trade him at that time. I hope they can trade a catcher to Boston for Bucholtz (sp?) and then going into the second half of the season and 2010 they can have a rotation of...

Sheets

Bucholtz

Neftali

Holland

Harrison/McCarthy/Hurley/

The line-up for 2010 can be...

C-Teagarden or Salty (whoever stays)

1B- Smoak

2B- Kinsler

3B- Young

SS- Andrus

CF- Borboun

RF- Hamilton

LF- Cruz/Murphy

DH- C.Davis

the manager should be Bobby Valentine

Well

I asked Chuck during a Q&A about plans for the homerun porch scoreboard. With a season or two it will be replaced with new, HD video boards.

The OF wall

Will be the same color of green with the ads printed on it instead of stuck on like it has been.

Someone really needs to come up with a legitimate fanpost

That sidebar isn’t looking good right now.

the preceding post was a great success.

I agree.

Maybe someone should just put up a fake ben sheets signing post…to confuse people.

The Goldstein Chat wrap was a pretty good one

but it got pushed down fast, by not-so-good ones.

Hurley..

You don’t think he’ll be back for 2010?

by Topgun22 on Jan 27, 2009 6:52 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

hurley

i think he will be back for 2010. that’s why i placed his name was a possible starting pitcher up there.

Topgun22...

The guy has pitched all of a month and a half at the big league level before his arm is shredded, he’s like Ben Sheets to the 11th power. Rotator cuff surgery isn’t bone spurs, I’d be very surprised to see him in Arlington again, much less starting Opening Day 2010. This goes for you too, Ahmad.

He'll be back pitching in 2010

But to even mention his name as a candidate to start in the ML rotation is absurd.

wow

outta that whole article yall focused on one little name i put as a possible number 5 starter and i even placed him last on that list for a reason (because i think if he comes bacck, it will be mid to late season)

y’alls bias does not surprise me anymore.

Would...

You have rather me focused on the tired material that has been discussed ad nauseam on this site, Newberg’s site and every other two bit blog (check out RangerRumors.MLBlogs.com!!!!) that talks about the Rangers? I could, but I didn’t want to be mean.

If AJM posted this on the front page

He’d get even worse replies.

no no

i just meant if AJM (or any poster who LSB does not have a supposed bias against) made this it would still get negative replies.

just meant to say its not a bias against him.. i am by no means advocating this thread being on the front page.

the preceding post was a great success.

I don't believe that me thinking you're an all around fucktard of the highest order is a bias.

It’s just an opinion.

A true as hell opinion.

a B-, or a C+?

FWIW I’ve been enjoying your site lately. You seem to enjoy more cd’s than not. Is this because you only tend to review things you kind of know you’re going to like?

Feel bad as it’s obviously a kid (school being out and all) but then I realized when I got a day off from school when I was younger I was trying to put sleet down girls shirts, now I don’t feel bad anymore, for the kid or the girls.

If you think that because I make that comment

that I’m uniformed about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict as a whole, then you’re clearly mistaken.

Simply that his bumbling comments

and lame fan posts make me not want to support any non baseball causes he might be apart of outside of LSB.

Try not to take my comments too seriously.

Actually,

I think you should be seeking $25 for that kind of time. Are you really a consultant?

by CS3 on Jan 28, 2009 1:05 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I am now back to being a full time student...

the problem with consulting is if you don’t have a project your a liability and wasted overhead…

For the record, consulting is an extremely travel based job. If you have a family, and need to be at home, don’t do it.
