"BIg whoop, wanna fight about it?"

Davis hitting 8th tonight.
Training wheels are still on.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Wasn't Blalock hitting 7th before he was benched?
Does one spot take the training wheels off?
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.
Keep the focus on Davis. That's like bleeding heart liberals still bitching about Dubya.
It’s up to Davis to show the rest of the team he can play at this level because he was given this job. It’s now time to earn his keep with production in The Show and the training wheels should be off by this point. Good AL 1B don’t hit 8th.
There’s a crappy, mediocre LH pitcher being rolled out tonight. Let’s see what he can do.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Lets focus on Davis then
Hows he done since coming back up?
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.
4 for 12 with a squibber and a nice 3 run bomb.
The jury is still out.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Add in a walk and much better plate presence
and id say the early returns are positive. Focus less on where in the order he hits and focus more on how he is doing
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.
Not exactly what I said there, fwiw.
Simply said that he sucked earlier in the year and that I didn’t want him back up.
Didn’t say he couldn’t or wouldn’t be improved.
So if you thought he could be improved....
… why were you so adamantly against his playing for the Rangers again this year? When he could help us to a postseason birth.
Because it isn't a sure thing...
…and the possibility exists that he could be as bad as he was in the first half of the year.
Really though, I just found it funny how much many here bashing Blalock had forgotten how horrendous Davis was for half a season.
How does Davis look?
A whole lot better than the FA to be who reportedly was carrying this thing!

No Blalock was batting 7'th not hitting 7'th.
"We have a better chance to win with other guys in the lineup," said Blalock, who is hitting .190 the past 30 games. "That’s something I’ve got to deal with."

Concurred, TD
Lotsa golf still to play and lotsa LH pitching coming up.
A .143/.491 won’t cut it.

It's the ultimate crunch.

Have you played both?
I’ve played Cypress. (Better than Augusta, imho. Best one I’ve seen or played.)
Tomorrow will be the first time I’ve played PV though.
What are you up to, 79 degrees?

Its been a good 100 degrees here the last two days

Groundout and a K that should have been a walk after Beckett got a strike called 6" off the plate.

Now bases loaded, 2 outs.
Even the RSox announcers were surprised at that strike call, fwiw.
I doubt this game gets through 4.5 anyway though.
rainout wouldn't be the worst thing in the world
Beckett would be on the shelf for a few days and they’d have to play a DH to make it up.

C Jarrod Saltalamacchia had no issues throwing to bases during a workout today in Minneapolis and then boarded a flight back to Dallas. He will begin what he hopes is a three-game rehab assignment for the RoughRiders on Saturday. If all goes well, he could be activated on Tuesday for the doubleheader against Toronto

Anybody ever read the fangraphs article on Borbon?
Some of the comments were pretty harsh and suggested that he would be nothing better than a 8 hole hitter, with average defense.

Eh, not really.
I just wonder if they know something I don’t. From what I’ve read, Borbon has always had +defense and it looked like it would translate well in the majors as an everyday CF.

Twins hammering Hunter already
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.

Scutaro
He got up, but left the game. It was a fastball that he took to the back of the helmet. So he probably has a couple of days off coming.
The Red Sox should change their name to the Boston D-Bags.

ok so im sorry if i missed it above
pudge at dh, teasip at c. if by some unholy craptastic chance teasip gets hurt what warsh gonna do? they didn’t call up another c did they? by all means i like the lineup with pudge in instead of byrd right now but i’m a little concerned about the bench depth.
ok i guess im just not as smart as i thought
but pudge can move to c and the p has to bat the rest of the game? makes sense i just always thought the dh was stuck at dh end of story. my bad thanks for the clarification.
You can move your DH to a position but then you lose the DH
You can’t do a double-switch in which the DH moves to a position and then you put another guy in as DH
Also, there's one or two other guys on the roaster that can be the emergency catcher
I forget who it/they is/are, but if both Teagarden and Pudge were to get hurt there’s someone that can strap on the pads in an emergency.
Hey, wtf?

dead center
why don’t more broadcasts use the dead center camera angle?
They got it going on the MIN feed — never understood why not everyone uses it since it’s so much better than the regular angle used by everyone else.
Most parks don't have a camera spot for it
At the ballpark they would have to build a structure probably on top of the concession in CF and it would probably obstruct some suite views

I'm just trying to help you understand baseball
It is a game where everyone is a loser quite often
As a batter, you get out a large majority of the time
As a pitcher, you give up at least 3 runs a large majority of the time
If you are one of the best teams in baseball history, you will still lose over 50 times in a year
So I wish you wouldn’t overreact ALL THE FUCKING TIME… it’s annoying as shit, and it shows that your understanding of baseball is supremely lacking
expect a comeback, for once… be a fan
Please don't tell me what kind of a fan to be man.
I know you fucking lose in baseball. That’s why I expect it. That doesn’t mean I have to be all “Don’t worry, be happy” about it.
We look like shit so far tonight offensively, and Hunter was throwing the ball down the middle in the first. I’ll expect a comeback when I see some evidence of one.

OT
I heard on NPR this afternoon that George Washington wanted to be referred to as “His High and Mightiness”, but they talked him out of it. Context of discussion was origin of the phrase “Mr. President” or something like that.
I read a biography about him and it's actually the other way around...
He could have stayed President but resigned…when this happened, King George III referred to Washington as the greatest man in the world (not to be confused with the most interesting man alive). Washington’s humility and desire to not establish a monarch is why he resigned…he also just wanted to get back to private life…
