I wasn’t angry about your posts, I simply found them unfuckingbelievably annoying. I didn’t tell you to go fuck yourself in the middle of a bullpen meltdown because I was angry with you ~ I did it because you were being a complete fuck and I wanted you to go away. Then, when you didn’t, it was really entertaining to keep abusing you and watch you come back for more and more.
You’ve really got to learn that you can’t read tone over the Intertubes.

learn what a fucking quick hook is. Be prepared in the 9th. Leaving Grilli in as long as he did was fucking stupid
when Frankie is struggling…..he will not turn it around. He will blow the save without some crazy bullshit play. When its obvious he is struggling. take him the fuck out.

No doubt you're right.
When Josey gets beaten, he just stops responding. He doesn’t try to beat you to death by repeating the same lines. For all the frustration Josey gives us, you can at least have a conversation with him.
Texas_Dawg, on the other hand, comes across as someone so self-assured that he’s completely oblivious to the notion that he could ever be wrong about anything, including subjective things like perception and emotion.
I have no patience for little fascists.
Oh, he has the same arguments, for sure.
I meant that when you respond to his arguments, he doesn’t repeat what he just said to you.

I think about the knuckle-dragging neanderthal Yankee fans that stayed,
didn’t get a head start on the traffic, stood there and yelled at each ball thrown by Grilli and Frankie, overconfidently high-fived each other, cheered on their lineup of douchebags………..
And then King Elvis Andrus ripped their hearts out and left them standing there wondering what happened and saying, “damn, I stayed for this? Now I’m gonna be at the end of the line and lucky to catch a subway ride home.”

He should have--he almost fucked this one up
I know I gave in to DShep on this point—but the move to use Grilli was world-class bad move. I just checked and saw that Francona will use Papelbon in non-save situations—he did it with us this August in an 8-4 game. Gardenhire will do it with Nathan on occasion. Maybe it’s to get the closer some work, but it’s still throwing out the book—which is what Wash should have done, rather than using his 3rd worst pitcher. And again, Wash was defensive in the presser, with all this “we scored one more one than them”—we lucked out when Genius Gerardi had Swisher bunt.
oh bullshit

easy, that ball he hit out tonight is a flyball every where else
that come off the bat at a bad angle
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Why was Grilli in to start the 9th vs Damon
and not CJ? A 5 run lead vs the MFNYY in MFYS is like a 2 run lead anywhere else.
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland -Tom Grieve Rangers Minor League Player of the Year
Martin Perez - Nolan Ryan Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Year
Unlike Sat night,
I don’t disagree with this move. They need Grilli down the stretch (although not as much as before with the emergence of Neftali), so why not try to get him some work with a 5 run lead and shake off the rust.

When the temp of the room gets as high as it does tonight, there’s a good chance I’ll bail because almost all of you cannot handle it if things go wrong and the truth needs to be told (or right, didja see the Little Brother’s GDT?).
Jeez, it was the MF Yankees, we’re in a playoff race and CDavis was making his first appearance back from Siberia. It’s the biggest game of the year and time to enjoy- the truth can be discussed later.
Chris Davis is now rocking a smooth running 6 for 32 with 11Ks and two walks in The Show. His batting average v LH’s went to .141. Can he adjust? The MF Yanks seemed to figure him out the last two ab’s.
Texas Dawg and myself are not the same person.

I was talking to the Great Bill James....
yesterday, and he said that he had developed a new stat, WAtLD, Wins Above the Living Dead, to describe Hank’s play this season. Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains.
That’s how bad Blalock has been this season.

it also explains how all those dead hookers vanished from their spots around first base, where Hank F. had strategically positioned them, having realized that zombies can’t stretch for pick-off throws.

Talk about damning with faint praise.
His calls at the beginning of the year weren’t just confusing, they were incomprehensible.
I don’t want to have to guess what happened after a pitch was delivered by quickly rethinking if the Rangers are at home or on the road, and judging the crowd noise from there, and wondering if that was the crowd over-reacting to a routine fly ball, and then wondering if Barnett is over-reacting to a routine fly ball, or under-reacting to a well-hit ball…
And that still happens. A lot, in fact.

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.

Delcarmen also said something similar didn't he?
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
I don't think his was as bad. He was more diplomatic about it.
But apparently he’s not crazy about the move, either, since he’ll probably be one of the ones to lost appearances/innings to Wagner.

What a joyful clubhouse that must be.

You left out the best part...
They interviewed Theo over the situation, who downplayed the rift and said you shouldn’t read too much into why Papelbon says because “Obviously, the guy’s not a Rhodes Scholar to begin with…”
Awesome. Anyone else catch that?

Heh.
That’s beautiful. I largely hope Daniels isn’t ever in a position to need (or want) to make that sort of statement about a Texas player to the press ~ but a small part of me wants to see what sort of quip he’d come out with.

I wonder if they hate Theo in the room
bet Josey would know
I too wonder how this plays in the room.
Will Papelbon try to treat Theo like dog shit on his cleats come contract time?
A Yankees fan just threw out to me that Feliz and Chamberlain are "very comparable."
I’m not sure I see what makes them such dopplegangers. Other than they throw baseballs fast. Which can be said about a lot of people.
I get to see about one a week, so it's been better than I expected.
Sometimes I go to Buffalo Wild Wings or the ESPN Club to watch.
I can see the resemblance.
One is a lean Hispanic kid from the Dominican Republic.
The other is the bastard child of the Pillsbury Doughboy and Roger Clemens’ Italian clone.

Man, laughing this hard ain't helping my headache

I'm not sure I see the parallel, either.
One thought that occurred to me while watching and listening tonight, though:
Is there, or should there be, an eye to Feliz’s approach to batters in terms of pitch counts? Not in terms of worrying about fatigue or injury this season, but in terms of the difference between starters and relievers?

You know, Norm doesn't reaserch very well..
Listening to my 1310 podcast.. norm talks about how the angels are entering a really difficult part of their schedule with the yankees and redsox, etc…
Coming up the Angels have..
Detroit x1
Oak x4
Seattle x3
KC x4
Seattle x3
Whitesox x3
Oh my, terrifying.
Then finally in the last 2 and a half weeks it does get tough with the yankees twice, redsox once, texas twice and.. oakland once.
But for the next stretch they have it relatively easy.
the preceding post was a great success.
If we can have it down to like 3 games with 2 and half weeks to go.
I’d say we have a fair chance at it.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
yep agreed

ESPN Insiders!
There’s a sweet article about “how Nolan remade the Rangers” but its for insiders only. Post please???????
I'll summarize:
Nolan moseyed in with his six-shooters hanging low on his hips, and proceeded to give ’em the high heat.
Don't forget
The club no longer uses pitch counts. They teach pitchers to be REAL men instead of little pansies afraid of throwing 200 pitches in an outing.

Slow as molasses for you guys? I wonder if some script is tripping up my out-of-date at-work browser…
Sweet Jesus
Did someone drop some ecstasy in the post-game thread’s water after I went to bed last night?
Officially gay for Neftali Feliz
So, hey guys.
This thread was quite interesting to wake up to.
And I see Josey is grasping at straws. My argument toward him is the same I had toward Texas _Dawg: he’s not even open to the idea that Davis straightened something out. Davis could hit .750 the rest of the way, and he’d still be critical.
And that’s fine. He wants to win his arguments, despite not being rational about it (grasping at correlation/causation-moot points, like a 28-19 record despite Hank actually having a negative WAR during that stretch).
I just want to win games.
