Checking in from the ballpark.
The combination of bad weather and horrible traffic has made for a very empty RBiA. I’m taking lots of pictures though from some damn good seats.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but today is the 19th anniversary of No Hitter number 6.
I watched every pitch of that game on TV, with Ruben Sierra (Sr) catching the final out in the vast foul territory at Oakland Alemeda Colleseum.
Good Times.
Go Rangers!

So I went to work this morning and when I got there

So I’ve been doing nothing but walking the dog, doing laundry and waiting for this game to start since I got home.
Let’s go Rangers

At least he took a pitch before popping up.

Seems similar to what happened 2 seasons ago...
everyone figured out his upper-cut and started pitching inside to Kinsler, and had him popping up every swing.

Random weather tidbit
The storm system which veered south from the Metroplex is now generating tornado warnings…and is moving towards the greater Austin/Georgetown area, including Round Rock, where a game is slated to be played at the Dell Diamond tonight and where several thousand people are presumably located…

I have family in Round Rock but they’re about as reliable at answering their phone as I am (which is to say not at all).

I hope these outings delay him from being called up.

After the show I want Greg Oden to tuck us both in and tell us stories about the old days. - Will Ferrell
I know they had Blake Beavan on the night he was drafted if I remember correctly...
not sure I remember Main on though.
Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.
Chris Davis makes me sad...
He doesn’t even frustrate me, he just makes me sad. I want for him to a beasticon again so bad, not just for the team’s sake.. but for his.
You just described how I feel about Salty.

dr. of defense
giving me tired head talking about switch-hitting.
TAG – Quit talking about it!!!

So are we reduced to patting Crush on the head for
making weak contact? Basically, not coming home from school with a load of shit in his pants.

Feliz through 5
Runner stole home last inning. Lol
7 hits, 5 Runs, 4 Earned, 3 K’s, 1 BB 72 pitches – 50 strikes.
1 BB = good improvement.

defense has been rather pathetic behind him
"You can have my urine, my hair, my blood, my stool -- anything you can test...I'll give you back every dime I've ever made...I'll put that up against the jobs of anyone who writes this stuff...Make them accountable. There should be more credibility than some 42-year-old blogger typing in his mother's basement."
go team go!
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."
Kinsler, it's hard to like you right now

Low balls.
We cannot possibly stay off of them.

Doesn't deserve it at this point.
Needs to get his head out of his ass and just hit the ball.

I am so tired of batters not running after a strikeout in the dirt
for all he knew that was going to the backstop.
the preceding post was a great success.
Well

kinsler needs to shrink his head down a tad.
Stop trying to hit the ball 500 feet every at-bat. Then maybe he can be the great hitter he sometimes is.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
Kinz, are ya trying to let Pedroia catch you in all-star voting?
