We need to get a bodyguard for Teagarden so nothing bad ever happens to him.
That way, no one will ever score on Harrison again.

Fuck these White Sox radio guys
They’re trying to say Matt Harrison didn’t throw a good game, the Sox offense just sucks.
What a couple of morons.
"That start was like somebody on a deathbed suddenly jumping up and doing the Lindy Hop, then speeding away on a pogo stick while playing the fiddle." - Telegraph
The White Sox TV guys drooled all over his first pitch strike ratio.
Big lefty that throws hard, etc. They gave him the POG.
They also wouldn't shut up about the Murphy play at first.
Kept saying that changed the entire game.
Douchebags.
I thought they
were right about him coming back down on the bag – bad call. But then right before they went off the air they showed a different camera angle that appeared to show him miss the bag as he came down then shuffle his foot over to tag the bag too late. Safe. ha
Not really saying they were wrong about the call.
It just annoyed the hell out of me that they were going on and on about it, and that they kept saying that it made the difference in the game, even though we won by six runs.
Their ridiculous homerism drives me nuts, though it’s hardly news at this point.
Unfortunately, MLB Extra Innings didn’t offer today’s game on FSSW.
Out of town so I kept up with the game on gameday
Is this dude taking a page out of Holland’s book? I saw a 97 and a 96 in the 7th.
If this is the new and improved Matt Harrison…sign me up.
I don't think he was throwing that hard
He was 91-93 most of the game, at least on the TV gun. The gameday gun sounds a little fast.
me too.
around the 6th and 7th if I recall.

one ball hit hard all night
granted, it would have been a 3 run homer in August, but it’s a long out tonight.
Matt Harrison was getting hit so hard early in the year. He didn’t miss any bats, and this has to be one of the quickest and most dramatic changes I’ve ever seen in a pitcher. 19 scoreless innings in a row! Wow!

That is all.
He crushed the white sox, saw them driven before him
and heard the lamentations of their women
Did Young get hurt? I saw Andrus come in, but didn't get to see the game
I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.
He left with lower back stiffness.

Well, F me.
That was sweet. Matt has always had velocity, but now he’s pitching like a true power pitcher. Whoever figured out how to get Harrison to unleash that deserves…. I can’t even think of anything of like value. A power lefty starter is priceless in RBIA.
19 scoreless innings and counting. Who’d a thunk it?

a question
ill be in houston next year and I want to see all the Rangers games I can… What provider should i use? I’ve heard the rangers are blacked out in houston with regular cable, is this true?
how much does it cost?
I’ll only be there for a year and a half to finish up school. Is it a pain to uninstall if you move?
Direct TV has MLB Network.
And they have a deal going right now for 34.95/mo for the first year, I think it is Top 150 or somesuch. And, if you move, they will come pick up your dish and install a new one wherever you move.
Just ensure you get a south or southwest facing balcony.

…Direct TV and Dish Network have a deal with the Rangers where they show almost all the games (including the over-the-air games normally shown on 21 or whatever in D/FW) on the alternate FSSW feed if they aren’t scheduled to be shown on the regular feed.
You miss a few games, but basically, if you live outside the Metroplex and want to make sure you get as many games as possible, you have to go with one of the satellites.

MY update
The third baseman said he hurt his lower back diving for a grounder in the second inning and aggravated it during his third inning at-bat. He iced it after leaving and was going to ice it again Friday night. He said he did the same thing a couple of years ago in Detroit and missed two games. He said the pain is tolerable, but is concerned because of how it affects his range of motion and mobility. He said he’d wait and see how he feels Saturday before deciding if he can play.
Go Rangers...don't suck...
With how all of that unfoloded.....
and going by how much I like to watch Verlander pitch, that may habe been the game of the year.

Yeah. That catch trumps Ryan Sweeney's by quite a bit.

There’s no crying in baseball but pedicures are fine! --- BigGuns
This game had lots going for it.
1. Good, no excellent, starting pitching (by a rook nonetheless)
2. Very nice defense (1 screwy error but some fine plays too)
3. Few walks (I guess that goes with #1)
4. A seemingly more patient lineup
5. The ability to score runs without the long ball
6. Frank Frank was able to get some rest
7. Good baserunning
This is the kind of game that championship teams have on a semi-regular basis.
Also, have you guys noticed that the Rangers are generally doing all those little things right? Throwing to the right base, wiping out the pivot man on DP balls, stealing bases that are given to you (and some that aren’t). I’m going to say something that I didn’t think I’d say: looks like Warsh has the Rangers prepared. Earlier there were some sloppy games, but nothing on the level of the last two years and now they’re playing pretty good fundamental baseball. Still not particularly a fan, but I can no longer call for his head as long as the players like him.
#5 is one thing i've noticed
I like the home run, but it’s nice to see the team can hit something else too. I’d really like to see CD have a K-Free game sometime soon, but….sigh.

That will keep the sidelined for most of the entire year, however.

well damnit. I missed the game
got a hall pass this weekend with wifey going out of town with the girls and got free front row tickets to see the Friday Night Fights boxing match in downtown Fort Worth. Decided to go because I had never seen a boxing match live.
It was hard to follow the Rangers on the phone in between rounds because the ring girl was so damn hot but I did my best.

Dunham is hilarious
the show was good.
The only thing i thought was not good was the lighting. The stage was no lit up that good.
So lets get this right
Harrison is pitching well
Andrus is at worst an all glove no bat SS, and more likely going to be a league average bat
Salty is OPSing well higher than Laird
Feliz and Vaughn are still in the minors,,,
That Atlanta trade is an absolute fleecing

Heh
Speaking of Laird… man, he has come crashing back to earth like a decrepit satellite after a hot start to the season. Had a .914 OPS after 14 games, but he’s just 1 for his last 25 – and 6 for his last 40 if you go back to April 21st. That’s our Gerald all right.
Still has an OBP almost 30 points higher than Salty though. People have finally laid off Salty now that his BA is decent, but he seriously is in Chris Davis and Hank Blalock land when it comes to OBP right now. The sad thing is, his .313 OBP is still smack in the middle of the team right now (6th) – god, we suck at walking this year.

Salty may have a low OBP but the guy knows how to take pitches and make a guy pitch to him.
when he’s on, he can work a count much better than CD and Hank

Yep.
Probably the biggest highlight of the ‘07 season for me, outside of the trade deadline. It’s the one that’s stuck with me anyway.
