PrintGame 2 of the Rangers' season is tonight, and the Rangers are currently sitting alone in first place in the A.L. West. Yay!
And watching the end of last night's debacle in Minnesota, I couldn't help by think of Phillipe Aumont.
Vicente Padilla pitches tonight, and Jeff Wilson says Padilla is healthy and ready to show he deserves to be the team's #2 starter.
And...well, that's about it this morning.

No doubt.

I’m also just pretty excited about a game; was kind of depressed last night with only the Cubs-Astros on. Stoopid Astros.
Last night sucked with no Rangers baseball

Whoa -- the M's lost that game yesterday?

things I liked about last night
neither the A’s nor the Angels pitchers looked that great, or had overwhelming stuff. It is early in the season, but Cahill should have been tagged for more runs than 3 (2 earned). He was lucky with 5 hits and 5 walks (only 1 K) in 5 innings of work.
Either way, the Rangers may end up with the most consistent staff, at least until the Angels’ injured pitchers return to action.
Bedard and Felix looked good for the Mariners, but Morrow can’t save their bullpen problems.
C’mon Padilla, your contract season starts now, and you better perform.
Bring on April 6th!
it looks like
they skipped him this time around. Adenhart starts tonight for them.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Weaver
He had back issues in camp. He’s pitching tomorrow on regular rest after a minor league start last Saturday.
usually...
they post it a couple of hours before the game.

(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"

My AL West thoughts after 2 days...
And no, this will not be my usual “What the hell does everyone see in the A’s” diatribe.
1. The A’s have a great bullpen. Billy Beane traded triple A fodder to the Cubs for Michael Wuertz, and he looks great. Damn. In fact, the A’s look a lot like most successful Rangers clubs in the past. Lineup that depends on aging veterans hitting for power and a shaky rotation that just needs to hand over the ball with a lead to a great bullpen.
2. The Mariners are the new version of Spahn and Sain and pray for rain. Their revamped OF has already paid dividends, but I still don’t think they have the offense needed to compete. I like their direction, though.
3. The Angels look old. Not quite Astros olde (as in Ye Olde Astros), but old none the less. The Angels two top starters are currently Joe Saunders and Dustin Moseley. As long as that is the case, this is anyone’s division to win. But when/if they get their studs back, they still appear to be the best team in the division. Kendry Morales is better than people give him credit for. He is a drop off from Tex, obviously, but I think he’s a notch above Kotchman.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
reply to #1
i hear the A’s batted Nomar in the 4 hole…. wtf? i thought this was why they had jack cust on their team…
(Wife) "So what do you want to watch on the T.V.? UFC or porn?"
(Husband) "Hmm... well, porn, I guess."
They are batting Cust
down at 7 or 8 so far. Not sure how that makes sense. Garciaparra had a great spring, so the A’s are playing him like he’s still in his prime. This will eventually backfire.

Hicks proved that signing aging FAs to go with a shaky rotation doesn’t work. See the 2000-2007 Rangers.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
If Bedard is good
and by good, I mean taking the hump 33 times with an ERA under 4.00…the M’s could easily win 75 games and also knock on the door of .500.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
I also think
Morrow will be okay.
Bill James assured me of it in his book.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
lol
i think Morrow will be ok. Anytime you can hit 100 on the gun, you have an out pitch.
Bring on April 6th!
He wasn't hitting that last night
He was dialing at 96/97 most of the time and with little control. The walk to Gomez really shook his confidence
"It takes a big dog to weigh 1000 pounds"
Dis anyone see that little jig he did coming in the game?
Looked kind of stupid
I wonder if...
that is a Mariners thing. Miguel Batista did one too. A little side step and then a sprint to the mound.
"It takes a big dog to weigh 1000 pounds"
a healthy Bedard
will be good enough, even if he is not a legitimate ace. If they get anything out of the back of their rotation, they could toy with .500. But that’s a pretty big if.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I think whatever the Angels offense they lost from tex
Morales and Abreu will be able to fill that void. The Angels were still the best team in our division without Tex. Of course, they were carried largely by the arm of Ervin Santana.
I think the A’s bullpen will take a huge hit today when, most likely, Devine will be out for the year. They already placed him on the 60-day DL. Also, Ziegler will not strike guys out like he did last night. He has great movement, but his k/bb is not that great-around a 1to1 ratio. He lives by getting ground balls.
Bring on April 6th!
Oakland Bullpen
They’ve got plenty of solid arms in that bullpen, plus plenty of guys in their upper minors who can come up and be productive bullpen guys. Devine’s injury does hurt, but it’s a whole lot less devastating than if Francisco got hurt on our squad.
I'm very intrigued with the A's and Billy Beane
but I wasn’t expecting them to get anything from Chavez.
If he’s 85% of what he used to be, that may put them over the top.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
i think it is too much to ask
3 rookie starters to carry the load on a pitching staff. Even if they are more effective than last night, I don’t think they will be able to make it the entire season. I would expect a late season fade. They will struggle and if they can’t get deep into games. Cahill threw over 100 pitches in 5 innings last night. Their good bullpen will feel the pressure that Rangers bullpens have felt recently of pitching too much.
Bring on April 6th!
How many did Lincecum throw last night?
He was pulled in the five. Sort of OT, I know, but it got me wondering.
Hernandez and Bedard
and then avoid the yard?
Feliz and Bedard
then winning gets hard.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
are we getting felix hernandez back in that trade?

OT: Dallas Smoking Ban
Efforts to delay the ban have reportedly been defeated today, as e-mailed to me by the DMN (update on their politics blog shortly, so no link yet), ban to start Friday as planned.
They did something very similar in Fayetteville, AR
about 5 years ago and, being a local leader and popular barfly, I stood against it Even stood in front of the City Council as a member of Free Fayetteville, an organization formed to combat the smoking ban… I was against it then I still am, in principal… but it hasn’t been the economic Hiroshima that every, including me, thought it would be…

Most of the places its been tried
it really hasn’t killed restaurants and bars like folks thought it would. I’m pretty ambivalent about smoking bans now. I don’t smoke personally, but in general I’d rather have bars and restaurants have the ability to set their own rules.
I generally didn’t go to restaurants that didn’t do a good enough job of segregating smokers from non-smokers though. Nothing ruins a meal more than someone lighting up in the table next to you and blowing smoke in your direction.

Well
Since they are already fairly restricted to certain areas it is nearly impossible to accidentally come across the cigar lounge of a place. But yes, people who don’t smoke them hate cigars.
Smoking
In protesting the smoking ban, did you consider than cigarette smoke harms other people?
May not be the be-all-end-all, but it’s the reason I’m deeply glad smoking’s out of New York bars.

That's the argument that always gets thrown out there
If there was no feasible way to avoid smoking, you would have a point, but there are literally hundreds of non-smoking restaurants in DFW. If you’re worried about your health, go to one of them and speak with your wallet. Demanding a restaurant ban smoking just so you can go there in comfort is like going to Taco Bell and demanding a Big Mac.
In the interest of full disclosure, I don’t smoke. However, smoking is legal and if a business owner wants to cater to that clientèle, that’s their right. No one is forced to walk in those doors to either eat or work. Either ban cigarettes altogether or leave businesses alone. Next they’ll ban drinking and then loud talking.

I am only pro smoking ban for selfish reasons – I hate the way cigarette smoke smells and how it sticks to you and your clothes. Personally, every reason anyone has ever given for a smoking ban being a good thing just goes against my personal governmental philosophy. I think the government has no right to meddle in such a fashion. That said, I’d still vote for a ban were it put to a popular vote. Like I said, selfish!
Oh, I enjoy the smoking ban
I just don’t agree with it…

yeah
it’s the reason I am aboard…after going to NYC a few times, coming out of the bars and not feeling like I had to shower before I went to bed…such a great feeling.
I’ll be glad when the ban hits, but then again, I like an occasional cigar, so I’m all for a “cigar bars and other bars designated for smokers” situation. Although, I’m sure a higher tax rate would be applied to such bars, putting a chokehold on them.
And at the end of the day, I do agree that bars should be able to decide if they ban smoking, or if they segregate smokers, etc. But maybe they need a kick in the pants to get that rolling. Restaurants, it makes total sense to be smoke-free.

Cigar Exception
The establishment has to make 15% of their income from the sale of tobacco to allow smoking of cigars inside. So, places like Javier’s Cigar Bar and other specialty cigar shops will probably be ok. I’m cool with that.

It has begun. The ritual of agonizing over whether “Revenue Frontier” on TWC Channel 77 will miraculously morph into “MLB Baseball: Cleveland Indians at Texas Rangers”. Anybody know if we get the game tonight?

awwww San Marcos, one of my favorite old homes
Josh Hamilton puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you but once he gets his pants on he hits baseballs 420 feet.

must be all the way back, ’cause he just threw some nasty pitches that AB…
Stability is key, and JD is a Beast.
zywica for life...
Lindstrum really struggled
saved by a nice play to end the game with the bases juiced.
Bring on April 6th!

Dexter Fowler lead off the Rockies game with his 1st career HR.
My favorite non-Ranger prospect.

wasn't there a character on Dynasty or Falcon's Crest named Dexter Fowler?
Did I just date myself with those references?
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

If you did, count me dated also. Dex Dexter on Dynasty.

OT: monumental collapse
by Atlanta’s bullpen right now.
10-3 going into the seventh inning. Atlanta’s bullpen has walked 5 and hit a batter in the inning giving up 7 runs and counting. It is now a 10-10, bases loaded and only 1 out.
"Take me out to the ball game, Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks, I don't care if I never get back, Let me root, root, root for the RANGERS, If they don't win it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, your out, At the old ball game."
lmao- Philly took the lead 11-10
8 runs in the inning on only 4 hits and Philly left the bases loaded

Trade Byrd to them for some bullpen help.
THAT rumor just died.
