I thought the heading

was Meet a D-Bag.

Either way.

OT - Going

to the game sat night against the Padres, what exactly can i take inside as far as food and water and a cooler of some sort?

by icouldusesomebaseball on Jun 23, 2009 10:53 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I believe

the cooler has to fit under your seat, and you can’t bring in cans or glass.

Yep

Bad couple of years,

but I got no problem with the guy. I’ve never understood why guys like him or Eckstein are so hated. For hustling? Pete Rose is the only guy allowed to hustle?

If it’s because of their prior teams, that makes a little more sense.

by scoop16 on Jun 23, 2009 10:56 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I think

It’s because a lot of sportswriters seem to think that hustle equals talent, or at least that it’s more important than talent or the ability to play baseball well.

It also seems like the term is most often applied to white players- not to say it’s a racist comment, but it’s sort of like how white basketball players get described as “intelligent” or “scrappy,” while black players are “athletic.”

Ugh...I just looked at the pitching probs

We face Scherzer and Haren.

Yeah

That’s not going to be easy, but the D-backs’ offense is fairly terrible, and like the Rangers, they strike out a ton.

So?

We just got swept by the fucking Giants man. They pretty much have the worst lineup in the majors.

Id like to think this is were we make our bread

but the likelihood of us getting to the D-Backs pen before the 7th or even the 8th for that matter is very, very low… its really a sad thing. Its unbelievable how poor we are at the plate in almost every aspect of hitting… its truely amazing how bad some of the at bats have been for us over the last couple of weeks

19k’s combined from those 2 starts.

wow.

just looked back at that 06 draft, and we not only missed Lincecum by 2 picks (giants at 10) but we missed Schrazer by only 1 pick (d-backs at 11). Not complaining about getting Kiker at 12, but man, Schrazer sure would’ve looked nice in a Rangers uniform.

my sig is better than yours

Max Scherzer: heterochromic.

As I recall

one of the arguments during the season was should the Rangers play all their youngsters, and not worry too much about wins and losses.

A lot of folks posted that one or two positions in the draft really didn’t matter too much.

Heh

I remember this road.

I was strongly advocating that the team tank it, but was rebuffed by majority opinion.

I sort of picture you pulling a longneck out of your mouth, and you’re standing on the bar too, “WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS GUY’S FACE?”
