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

The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...

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.

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.

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."

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).

Sarah Palin resigns as Alaska governor

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.

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.

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).

Yep

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.

by Black Francis on Jul 3, 2009 7:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.

Now, I can’t pull up Firefox at all.

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."

Can't decide which I like better

A woman with an Enlish accent or a woman with a southern accent like Harry’s wife.

Depends...if it's a scouser accent, southern wins by a country mile

It depends on the English accent...

My boss has a sexy voice, but she’s posh…our HR chick can barely be understood, and it’s not really attractive.

I've always had a thing for girls with husky voices.

Not nasty-husky… but like tomboy-husky

Don’t know why

That was a soft line drive!

the preceding post was a great success.

by DSheppard on Jul 3, 2009 7:56 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

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?

Players can still affect the manager...depending on what food they bring Wash

Only if you're either (A: a veteran

Or (B: Ron decides you’re speedy or gritty.

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.

Elvis has "shook up" Arlington!!

Shit. Now there's commercials for Rangers twittering?

Or have I just not noticed that ‘cause I’ve neglected American TV since last weekend?

The answer to the Geico question is...

Josh Hamilton?

Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair.
