I like the pictures where
it shows you the caption when you scroll over it.
As far as Jones, I think that was the obvious move to make.

Hank is the elephant in the room. When will he disappear?

Thank the good Lord.
Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.
Cool.
Would’ve liked to see ’em ditch Hank F., but that was unrealistic.
So excited/nervous to see what our madeover version of Davis looks like at the plate over the next 5-6 weeks or however long it is.

Actually keeping Hank made sense
only as a backup 1b if CD got hurt. No need to start Smoak’s clock in that case. Jones was the one who is absolutely replaceable.

I don't believe we'd start Smoak's clock now

is he starting tonight?

we really have three of those guys now
lets hope Davis fixed that, cuz having TT and him swing and miss at 91 down the middle is a beating

3 and 4 sickens me

you just don't see that caliber of hitter in the 3-4 spots
look at the 3-4 hitters on every other contending team.
IOW, I agree.

No more AJ batting clean up!
I'm tired of hearing about team chemistry. You are telling me these fuckers wouldn’t like to have a teammate that could actually help the team win, instead of being down 2-4 spots.

If David Murphy (in the middle of a frigid spell, no less) bats third against the Yankees in a game with big playoff implications...
I’m going to punt a baby into Jerry’s video board. And I’m not usually a baby punter, I only do it in dire circumstances, unlike some here.

Better hurry.
You’ll want to get the punt in before they raise the board.
Your 2009 Texas Rangers: "Can't take a fucking to save their lives" (lisa w, 2009).
I'd read that they were temporarily raising it for the concert.
I don’t believe the competition committee has met yet on the issue, but I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a compromise worked out.
More to the point, though, I wasn’t being any more serious than tricer was about punting a baby.
Your 2009 Texas Rangers: "Can't take a fucking to save their lives" (lisa w, 2009).
So, no cruz
what the fuck? cant they read splits? Cruz is better against RHP

borbon 1, young 2, hamilton 3, kinsler 4, cruz 5, the rest
doesn’t really matter
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
if any of our speedy guys get on base
should be able to run at will on Joba and hip hip Jorge.
"You can probably stick a fork in the Rangers' playoff chances for 2009." - AJM on 7/26 with the team 4.5 games out
This is huge...
Posada throws about as well as Varitek and the Rangers should be able to run on him all day.
And not just Borbon and Andrus. Kinsler, Cruz, Hamilton, and Byrd as well.
I want to see a track meet.

To hear TR say it...
Jones has been playing with torn hamstring.
…it almost sounds like they kept this personnel move in their pocket for just such an occasion?
Does this explain Jones’ performance at the plate lately?

I probably couldn't take a dump with a torn hamstring
I’d likely have to poop while laying on my side.
Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.
That sounds like shitting the bed.
Why did I just post that?

What is worse
is having such a poop it causes you to tear your hamstring.

It's TR for gods sake.
I doubt it’s torn,more like a pulled Hamstring.
by TooLegitToQuit on Aug 25, 2009 3:26 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
its a chris simms injury
his “hamstring” is “torn” like chris simms “wrist” was “injured” but who really cares?
I can't help it. I’m an asshole.
-brettgardner on Jul 7, 2009 10:55 PM EDT
EG is saying Strain
which makes a little more sense than a tear.

What kind of tear
does Blalock have to explain his performance?
butt hole tear
Got it from Josey

if Josey ever admits he was wrong about something without equivocating.

So lets see here.....

I don’t see one pinch hit option from the right side, unless its pudge
Borbon and Omar can pinch bunt

Already posted?
Lineup:

Michael Young, 3b
Josh Hamilton, rf
Marlon Byrd, cf
Ian Kinsler, 2b
Nelson Cruz, lf
Ivan Rodriguez, c
Chris Davis, 1b
Elvis Andrus, ss

Niice
I would change Davis and Pudge though
by blueballlefty on Aug 25, 2009 4:25 PM CDT up reply actions
Nice
Cruz in LF is interesting. I know I have had my doubts about it so hopefully everything goes alright out there tonight.
In the link it says Borbon will be primary DH vs RHP and pudge will DH tomorrow against Pettite and could DH more against LHP down the stretch. Blalocks been relegated to bench duty.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Cruz played it during the WBC but
I think Josh would be a better LF.
The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...
by Kinslerhomer on Aug 25, 2009 4:35 PM CDT up reply actions
it makes sense to play RH guy in LF and LH guy in RF
when both essentially have similar speed i think
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I like this lineup
It’s probably too right handed, but other than that it’s very close to what I would have fielded. I’d as soon have Cruz out there against Joba as Murphy probably.
by Brett Perryman on Aug 25, 2009 4:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Cruz is better against RHP than LHP so i like this
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
And Joba
doesn’t just dominate RHB or anything.
by Brett Perryman on Aug 25, 2009 4:58 PM CDT up reply actions
one of my favorite lineups this year!!
maybe swap Ian and Byrd, but i really like this lineup
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
I'd swap Byrd and Cruz, then call it perfection
