The lineup
Borbon, CF
Young, 3B
Murphy, LF
Byrd, RF
Kinsler, 2B
Davis, DH
Beached whale, 1B
Teabag, C
Vizquel, SS
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
Couldnt we play German or Elvis at first base this is riddiculous. That is why I think Washington is not a good manager. This is why if Byrd stays he will play in a wheelchair before anybody starts in his place.,
It's like Wash is hating on himself.

No, but it's not just about the grammar.
Your abbreviated rants read like they where entered by a four-year old. I’m one of the leading Wash haters around here, so I get where you’re coming from, but you’re doing an incredibly poor job of articulating your points.

"Nah, I got this asshole, Taylor. I'll mop the floor with his skullcap."
That is what the picture above conveys to me.
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
"When you have a weapon on your shoulder like he has, you can be cool." RW on Perez
And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
CD may be more balanced by taking weight of his back (power) leg
And hitting better as a result, says Wash. (that thought may have merit, at least to my eyes)
Hank still has a headache, Drs said he cannot play yet.
OMAH! is in the lineup to hopefully get his two hits to set a new record for VZ as a shortstop, Elvis will be back tomorrow.
Wash really likes the way BMac is pitching since he has come back (and check the stats, nice)

from Andro
He’s going to start all three games of this series in center. Saturday’s start will be against left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith. It will be Borbon’s first start against a lefty in the majors.

Too soon to eval the season yet, wound too fresh.
Re: offseason plans: We will make the moves we feel are appropriate given the constraints of our budget, just like any other business.
Who stepped up the most this year? Tough Q…maybe O’Day, but still can’t skip Elvis, or Feldman, or Hunter.
Bad season for Elvis to be a rook, with Bailey, Porcello, et al. It’s been a great year for young talent in the league. Thinks Elvis would be a shoe-in any other year.

Anything ESPN touches is bound to be like the DMN blog on a larger scale
But as for SBN, they need to cut down on their fucking ads (and locate them better). I never see them on my comp of course, but when I use other computers they’re really fucking annoying.

"terrorist group" may be a little strong but
PETA seems to go for shock value…now there are definitely environmentalist groups that are terrorist groups

Neyer on Elvis
As the release points out, Andrus is the first 20-year-old to play 140 games in the American League since Alex Rodriguez, 13 years ago. What’s most impressive about Elvis Andrus isn’t his performance or his age; it’s the incredibly rare combination. I cannot advocate giving an award to a player because of what he will do, someday. But if you could have just one of these young men (Andrus, Andrew Bailey, Brett Anderson, Jeff Niemann, Rick Porcello, Gordon Beckham, Nolan Riemond, Ricky Romero) for the next five seasons, Andrus would be the one
How about the next 10 years?

Probably.
I don’t know that we’ve ever had a guy like him to keep an eye on during winter ball before, so I can’t really draw any comparisons, but there was plenty of giddy talk about Salty and Max in winterball last year.
I imagine Feliz should get more coverage than any other Ranger in winterball before.

He used to be my favorite player.
But between his terrible play in Davis’ stead this year and Josey using him as a bit to beat into the ground, I’ve come to legitimately hate seeing him in the lineup this year.
It’ll be interesting to see where he lands this winter, but I’ll be glad to see him go.

Meh, I think overall a healthy offense will be what happens next year
which could lead to a less pressured Josh/Ian (hopefully that was their problem).
Speaking of calling a HR...(don't know if this was on a previous thread)
did anyone else hear the Mike Blowers call of the Matt Tuiasosopo HR?

And then I saw that Michael Keaton movie from the 80s when they’re working in an import auto factory. And if my memory serves me correctly, the Japanese dude in that movie called his boss ‘boss’

So how good are the odds that Feliz will make the starting
rotation after the break of camp next year.
I say 85%.
God I can’t wait for ST. I’m so ready to actually go.
I think he'll start in AAA
We have Millwood, Feldman, Holland, and Hunter in place.
Assuming we don’t go out and add a starting pitcher, you’ve got McCarthy and Nippert, both of whom I believe are out of options, along with Matt Harrison, who started the year in the rotation and who I think the organization is still high on.
I think Feliz will get a look, but will be farther down on the pecking list.

Much, much gorier than I thought it was going to be.

Cecil Espy
I remember when he was playing for the Rangers, they had his dad on the radio pre-game show. He sounded like he was about 70, and was a scout.
And he was telling some crazy story from back in the old days as a minor leaguer, and he dropped a “shit” in the middle of his story, which didn’t get bleeped, but whoever it was interviewing him (it may have been Nadel) was trying to keep from laughing over him on the story anyway.
I don't remember much from the old days
Just Ruben Sierra being interviewed after a game and saying
‘Baseboll…d’been beddy beddy good to me’

Dropping a shit in the middle of a story.
Sounds gross.
Lisa, if the Bible has taught us nothing else - and it hasn't - it's that girls should stick to girls' sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such-and-such.

I do it on the phone all the time.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock

When I play on X-Box Live
I don’t remove my headset and I go to the bathroom with it on. Sometimes I’ll announce to the party where I’m at. lol.
Who wants to explain why Davis is DH'ing and Jones is in the field?
Is Wash just not even trying anymore?

Davis has a sore Hammy
And apparently he likes Jones and his terribleness better than German Duran.
