I want to win...
this series so bad.

"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I don't think it will
they will still complain about the pitching and how Texas is getting lucky
JD’s like, "you want some fucking pitching? Here’s all the pitching you can stand. Now choke on it, bitches!"- RCCook
I still have some doubts
The La La La’s are the reigning champs, and I’m sorry, they’re going to have to blow up a big lead against them for me to be comfortable in terms of winning this year.
No matter what happens, lots of progress is being made, though.

The reigning champs are a .500 team right now
Until they start looking like a team that deserves to be above .500, I’m not worried about them

growing up in Arlington, I wondered why anyone had any passion for beisbol
it was not until I lived in Kenmore Square that I realized the thrill of the game.
we're from Texas
CJ says "Relax"
By there...
I did mean Kenmore Square.
I lived at Park and Beacon while I attended BU.
I capped this off of one of the MLB.com replays
Not as cool as the one above, but I thought it was kinda nice. Looks like it was really a night to behold for anyone who was actually there.

Yes
The sky looked AWESOME and a little bit terrifying (and I did both basic and advanced storm spotter training this spring). We only got a few drops of rain, which really surprised me. At one point there was a rainbow across the entire outfield, which was pretty cool. Apparently there was some awesome lightning but I missed most of it because I was watching the game and not the sky.

Last back-to-back shutouts at home. I would have thought the late nineties teams would have pulled that off. They had adequate pitching that could get on a roll at times. 19 fucking 81.

Yay! Padres have tied it up with the Angels on a wild pitch! 4-4 top of the fourth
Colorado is up 6-4 over the M’s int he top of the eighth.
Angels just called the bullpen to have Speier warm up... he's pretty underwhelming.
Especially since the PAdres have the grit power of one David Eckstein in their lineup.
This may not be a news flash
but Matt Palmer is not that good.

That one was pretty good.
Definitely a well done remake, with a logical “reason” for the reboot actually written into the movie in a pretty clever manner.
I thought the guy who played Kirk was super soap opera plasticy and wish they’d pick someone better for that role, but whatever.
Overall definitely pretty good.
Oh, and the new doctor is terrible. It’s like watching someone He’s do a bad impression of the old doctor and it’s just annoying.
Th new Scotty was awesome, though. Pegg is greatness.

As a former Trekkie
I didn’t particularly like the fashion in which they used the “time travel/alternate reality” card to pretty much go off-canon as they pleased, myself. I also thought the “transwarp transportation” angle that gets Scotty and Kirk back onto the Enterprise mid-film was really, really weak.
And you’re right, the new McCoy was horrible.
But other than that, it was a pretty satisfying action flick.

Padz is needed.
So glad no one wanted to pick up that contract.

Well, first I though, no team's going to pick up that contract,
but then I thought, what happens if some team does decide to pick up that contract? That’d be bad, because the Rangers need Padilla to eat innings, at least. But then I thought, nah, no team is going to pick up that contract. And then no team did. So I was glad no one wanted to pick up that contract, because Padilla is needed.
Its going to be 11-4 by the time this inning ends
at least.
safe to say we can stop tracking that one ><

Let’s say his agent approaches the Rangers … proposes a 3 year extension …

How often can the loss of a baseball game be as completely laid on
one player as the Mets’ loss tonight can be?
Yes, obviously other people played parts, for good or bad, in bringing the game to that point… but ultimately the game was totally won if Castillo just makes an easy play… and then completely lost once he didn’t.
Usually such mistakes at least provide for a chance to salvage the game later on or in extra innings.
What a gaffe. That game was at 99.99% win expectancy with that ball on the way down… and then at 0% once the ball was dropped.
What if he throws home instead of to 2nd base ...
wonder if he coulda stopped the winning run from crossing?
that was an all time bad play
Castillo is not gonna like living with that… The Mets are living up to Hamels billing recently
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Jake Peavy
Out for about 12 weeks.
Tear in the…right ankle.
Halladay's injury doesn't appear to be nearly as severe.
Or least I hope it isn’t.
That'd surprise me.
Even with a healthy, dominating Halladay, the Jays have fallen 4 games back of Boston and 2 games behind the Yankees, and the Rays are only a couple back and climbing. I think Toronto’s done one way or the other.

I'm not asking them to jump on the bandwagon and say we're going to win the division.

Good point.
I forgot there was another storm in the area tonight. Must have kept a lot away.
I realize they go by paid tickets and not actual attendance, but 6-8K would be a pretty large discrepancy.
Do fans still get ejected for fielding balls in play that bounce near the wall.
It seems like that was once standard procedure, but does that still happen in most places?
I saw that, but did he really get ejected?
The MLB Network anchor saying “he’ll be ejected” made me think of the question… but I never saw the guy actually getting tossed.
That dude was so clueless too...
…So psyched he had fielded the ball.
Everyone else just looking at him like, “Dude…”
??
What do you mean?
I started watching just recently, just finished the 1st season. Can’t wait until the 2nd season is available On-Demand.
I mean I'm down to 2 left of whats out now (through season 3).
Have you checked on demand lately? They added the first 6 episodes of season 2 a couple days ago at least on fios. Thats where I watched the first half of the series. Second half.. no comment.
the preceding post was a great success.
directv got on demand?
that must be new.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
Matt Palmer is one lucky SOB
He’s looking at being 6-0 now despite giving up four runs to a punchless offense today. the one Angel announcer was saying you can look at all the stats you want, but 6-0, he’ll take it, and the other one said sometimes it’s not how you pitch, it’s what day you pitch.
Seriously.
I keep looking at his start dates and thinking “good chance to pick up a game”.
I should start factoring in that the Angels will score 10 runs whenever he pitches.
oh jeez did you guys see what Milton Bradley did?
Wow. I kinda feel bad for him, the cubs fans probably hate him.
I'd feel bad for him if he hadn't done that gangsta pose
That, to me, makes the difference between “everyone loses track of the outs sometimes” and what he pulled today.
He just had to show up someone and made himself look like an ass instead, even though it made no actual difference in the game.
I couldn't tell
Was he posing, or taking an exaggerated deep breath because the sun made it difficult?
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
Actually, after seeing a 2nd angle...
I think he was just taking a breath that he hadn’t lost a second one in the sun.
He was cool about it after the game and owned up to it, answering all the questions, without trying to make excuses.
He made the pose because he botched a play earlier
and took a lot of flack from the fans. I think he was trying to joke with the jerks at Wrigley, sort of a “oh look, I can catch a ball thing” but it backfired in a pretty horrible fashion.
Quite an offense that league avg. pitcher shut down, eh?

Is there some magic to
make LSB preview my fanpost?
I hit preview and nothing happens. I want to see how long it is to know if I should add more draft picks to one post. Help.
I’ve tried Firefox and now Safari with no luck.
You may have to turn off the popup blocker
or some such tech maneuver.

I just tried doing a test fanpost
I clicked “preview” and a window popped up saying my browser blocked it and gave a link ot click to be able to preview it.
Definitely sounds like an ad blocker thing. I’m on firefox and adblock pro.
omg
I just saw Milton Bradley throw that ball into the crowd with two outs. Cost a run. HA! Brilliant…
Anybody notice
John Koronka took the loss for the Zephyrs today against OKC?
Gives me nostalgic memories of the time when he used to have oddly good starts for us.
Kouzmanoff HR... Padres close it to 10-6
Sucks for the Padres… they actually score six runs in a game and it’s the night they give up 10.
yea, there wasnt a whole lot of great things going in the minors
but Kirkman’s K/BB numbers were good tonight, thats encouraging as he previously was walking a few too many and not striking out enough batters at the AA level. Hunter also had a real nice outing in AAA. Beyond that, not a whole lot when on today

ROTY.
The Rangers may have caught the Dodgers at a good time. The Dodgers have only scored 25 runs in their last 10 games and have now been shutout 3 times in their last 12 games.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
Eh
Still results as a W for us either way. If were out to impress the media and to show up haters, then were doing it wrong.
Who said anything
about impressing the media? I was just pointing out something I thought was interesting about a team with the best record in baseball. They’re not at the top of their game right now.

I think it's pretty close between him and Porcello at this point.
Both are doing incredibly well for being so young.
And don’t count out Wieters and Price once they get going.

Wieters and Price
I fully expect both of them to challenge Andrus and Porcelain before too long. I don’t really care about the BBWAA awards of course, I’m just pleased as hell that Andrus has adjusted to the big leagues so well and so quickly. This is a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

The Sons of Josey Wales did quite well tonight.
Teagarden only had two doubles and coaxed a shutout from VP & Company meaning that stupid sonofabitch won’t play him until next Wednesday.
Face with a nice RISP hit.
Then there’s the player with “zero value” to the Rangers, Hank Fucking Blalock going yard for his 13th dinger.
Very nice.

It had been so long since a catcher was able to "coax" a shutout out of the rangers.
the preceding post was a great success.
Does it feel good to be able to say "face with a RISP hit"?
It’s been a while since you’ve been able to say that.
It must be your tremendous posting that gets them up to play at the ballpark everyday.

Also, in your sentence about Blalock, the rule is: If there's an opening comma, there must be a closing comma.
Incorrect: Then there’s the player with "zero value" to the Rangers, Hank Fucking Blalock going yard for his 13th dinger.

Thanks for being there to wipe my grammatical ass, inkara.

Anyone see Milton Bradley throw the ball into the stands thinking he'd just recorded the 3rd out?
So hilarious. He turns his back on the diamond (where runners have tagged up and are circling the bases with abandon) and spends several seconds pondering exactly where he’ll toss the ball, then lobs one into the RF bleachers.
Ah, Milton.

there seems to be some debate about whether it actually happened.
There’s no crying in baseball but pedicures are fine! --- BigGuns
It made me laugh
But still MB would look real good in our batting order this year. I wouldnt be willing tio give up Scheppers for him
Hey did you guys see what Milton Bradley did?
It was so funny. He caught the ball, see, and must have thought it was the third out because — now this is hilarious — he threw the ball to the fans in the seats!!!!!
HHAHHAHAHHHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA
I wonder what MB is up to these days...
I haven’t heard anything about him in a while.
