Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year

surprised that omar is not playing, i'm happy though. get elvis some national coverage.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
heh, Byrd hitting cleanup again...
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. ~Bryant Gumbel, 1981
Why did we call up Borbon again?
I said when he was called up that he would start a couple of games and get sent down two weeks later with very few at bats. I can see not starting him against Kazmir and Price since they are tough lefties, but there is a righty tonight and he is still sitting. I know Garza is a tough pitcher, but if Borbon is going to be in the majors he needs to be getting playing time. If not, send him back to the minors so he can play everyday.
he'll get sent down when hamilton comes back
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
I'm sure that is the case
but if all we needed was an outfielder to sit on the bench, they would have kept Boggs in the majors. There is zero point in bringing up Borbon just so the backup catcher has company on the bench. Just a stupid way to manage the roster.
Learn the rules before you bitch about roster decissions.
A player has to be optioned for no less than 10 days before he can be recalled. Boggs was sent north June 26th, and Bourbon recalled on the 29th.

I know the damn rules
I am saying that if we needed another outfielder to just sit the bench, we didn’t need to send Boggs down. Why send him down and just replace him with another player who will get no PT?
As I said back then, I think Boggs was hurt/hurting.
He dislocated a shoulder last night catching a routine fly ball, just the motion of putting his arm over his head caused it. Shoulder injuries could derail his career, in my personal experience, and he has dislocated his shoulders many times.

Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland - 2009 Rangers Minor League POY
Jamey's email
Confirmed international signings according to at least one local report: shortstops Jurickson Profar (Curacao), Luis Sardinas ( Venezuela ), and Luis Mendez ( Venezuela ), outfielder Chris Garia (Curacao), and pitcher Daniel De la Torre ( Mexico ).
Incidentally, Profar, who gained repute as an 11-year-old when he led Curacao to the 2004 Little League World Series title as that squad’s pitching ace but will play shortstop professionally, took batting practice at Rangers Ballpark today and went deep – from both sides of the plate. He’s 16.
Profar, Sardinas, and Garia are all switch-hitters and all considered premium athletes with full toolboxes (which is not to denigrate Mendez and De la Torre – I just don’t know anything about them yet). It may not be a stretch to suggest that the Rangers’ 2009 international position player class could be the club’s best since director of pro and international scouting A.J. Preller and senior director of baseball operations Don Welke were hired five years ago.

Padres and Dodgers
Padres score 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th against Billingsley and Broxton to tie the game at 6.
Broxton walks in a run to make it 6-4, then the Pads get a bases loaded single to make it 6-6, but the winning run gets thrown out trying to advance to third.
Gag, Torii Hunter 4 MVP? :(

they have a picture of EG somewhere in Fenway with horns
and a crazy elvish looking pedroia cutting his head 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."

Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

oh god
that was a terrible pitch to swing at… but thank you anyways
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
It works! Ill take it!
Garza is good, anyway you can get it man.
the preceding post was a great success.
Byrd was trying for the 6-4-3
Just didn’t make good enough contact.
He also shouldn’t have swung at that pitch, but hey, it worked…
that was just a terrible pitch to swing at
but yea, it worked
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
he almost swung
but he decided it was above his eyes
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
So...
I think Garza has been told not to throw strikes to Byrd and Blalock…that’s 6 pitches, 6 pitches out of the zone…
whyyyyyyyyyyyy

shit on me Hank
another terribly undisciplined swing
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
this is why you dont swing on 3-0

And he swung at ball four on 3-1 as well

God...
Hank swings at 2 balls for strike 1 and 2, then doesn’t swing at the strike.

Yes Joe...
That’s kind of what happens with a .283 average. You’ll face good and bad pitchers and even out at .283.

Wow that Touch of Gray commercial was awkward

That kid's sign sucks...Why make an ESPN sign with each letter...
except N beginning a word?
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.
I guarantee he didn't make it
He didn’t look old enough to have created such precise letters.

Well then his mom sucks

Signs in general suck
And signs spelling out the call letters of the station broadcasting the game are the pinnacle of suck.
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 5, 2009 7:32 PM CDT up reply actions
So true on the call letter ones
Always forced
"I saw your act, just didn't make it for me. Just a lot of fluff."
Even worse
Signs that reference the broadcasters who are doing that game.

So are you saying if I took a sign tonight that said...
“Joe Morgan loves Moneyball”
or
“Joe Morgan loves trannies”
You’d think it sucks?

Nothing pumps a team up
like a kid holding a sign.

not really, the Ump just missed the called K
on the 2-2 pitch
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I didn't know imagination could be caught
But I guess if anyone can do it, Hamilton can

Its ok since the pitch before should have been a ball
But where was that 2-2 pitch?
the preceding post was a great success.
wow, that last pitch was almost right down the middle
Burrel shoud have been a strie
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Yay, we're leading!
