The Rays have decided to skip Jeff Niemann’s turn in the rotation, meaning Matt Garza will get the start here Sunday.

Interesting.
I’ll be there, so I’ll probably be the asshole being escorted out of the park while cursing to Garza for being such a damn fine pitcher.

Why?
With the injuries we are really in need of some SP depth. Obviously it depends on what it would take to get him, the money and such but I don’t just hate the idea of getting him.

At the time byrd and cruz were both in a big slump.. who was to know byrd would immediately hit 3 homeruns and be on top of his game.
Though in any case bringing borbon up because you thought he could be a solution on offense does seem more than a little off.

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."

I'm here tonight
Decided not to go to Des Moines for the RedHawks/I-Cubs finale for three reasons…
- I had to work until 6.
- I knew rain was heading in.
- With the 80/35 music festival going on as well, I knew traffic would be insane.
I’m ready to watch the Rangers though (and Scott Kazmir).

It would be nice if it was because she was disappearing from the scene.
Alas, it appears to be so she can go around the country and start running for president in 2012.
Bah.

Look on the bright side...
If she turns out to be the GOP candidate in 2012, Obama should win by a landslide.
Though I don’t think highly of too many Republicans, I don’t think even they are stupid enough to try and elect someone that blatantly ignorant and crazy.

Yup.
The GOP is a slave to the base. And the base is a bunch of bible and gun clenching rednecks, with massive amounts of ignorance. Palin, in their eyes, is the only candidate that can represent “real” America (‘cause, y’know, the rest of it is fake or something).

I wasn’t trying to “zing” her, though I guess it may have done that. I’m with you…some of her appeal comes from the fact that she’s kinda hot. I sure isn’t from her brains.

No worries AJM
Palin’s biggest crux was her lack of experience. Her experience and resume on anything more than Wassila city council is 2 1/2 years. Her lack or prowess on issues and lack of experience dealing with those issues was why a good % of even republicans questioned her qualifications. So…. to rebut those claims she quits the only position that will actually nullify those concerns and unquestionably help her long term knowledge going forward for presidential aspirations?
she’s done. its over. at this point he experience in the field of politics if she runs tommorrow for 2012 isnt enough to be considered a serious contender maybe even in her own party.

I downloaded Firefox 3.5, thinking it would help my Firefox speed problems.
Now, I can’t pull up Firefox at all.
It shows up in processes, but it doesn’t actually ever come up on my screen.

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."

If Laird had thrown that ball...

what if barajas had thrown it?

Then Ed would show up...
…saying that if Barajas can’t catch a throw home to save his life, he should at least be able to throw to second without one-hopping it.

If Salty had thrown it last year, everyone would be bitching about how he'll never be a catcher.
Get on base or die, Salty.

ugh. Remember that game Josh and Tom discussed
the difference between a pop up and a line drive for something like 5 innings? Brutal.

So...
At some point, Teagarden has to start playing, right?
At least against LHPs?

He was
Harrison’s catcher…and Harrison got hurt. He was Padilla’s catcher, and Padilla got hurt. Sounds risky to stick TT with anyone else.

Ron didn't really follow through on his promise to play him more, did he?

Ron's judgment of who is speedy and who isn't is questionable though

So is going 0-5 the other night and 4 outs were pop ups.
And hes 0-2 again tonight and 1 out is a pop up, but his “uppercut” swing doesnt need to change (for the fact that he is lead off guy) because that swing got him to where he is today.
But then you have Josh Hamilton, who had a career years last year and still has the humility to try and make his swing better than it was. (didnt work to well but at least he is willing to change to get better)
I am so tired of Ian and his all or nothing approach to the plate. Especially at leadoff. That might be one of Washington’s biggest downfalls, cant manage a lineup worth a damn.
