Weather Underground has a more up to date radar.
Usually within 5 or 10 minutes. weather.com’s radar is sometimes like a half hour old.
But that’s the only reason I visit Weather Underground.

how much would it cost
to add a retractable roof? or is it even possible?
I know its a moot point with the team’s financial situation…but just wondering.
Personally, i would go to about 15-20 games a year instead of 2-3 games a year if it wasnt for the heat. Yes, I am little crybaby.

i've pretty much already accepted
the rangers are going to fall a little short of a playoff spot this year.
the rangers have a slight/no chance of catching the Angels
their 8th and 9th innings have been ridiculous.
I don’t think you can count us out of the wild card, especially when both us and the Red Sox play double headers tomorrow. We could be tied or in the lead by the end of tomorrow.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

Update
Still raining, but the ribbon panels and video board are on, and they weren’t last night. However, they’re showing the Angels game so it might be just for that and not to actually play. And right now, the tarp is coming off! Doesn’t look like they’re just dumping water, either.

So I'm really starting to get tired of football
Yeah I’m a Notre Dame fan, and yes they just loss, so this might sound like I’m blowing off steam but hear me out.
There is way too much official interference in that damn sport. People complain about baseball being long, but damn football games last nearly 4 hours. The refs are inconsistent. The offensive linemen are barely aloud to touch a defender, the cornerbacks are barely aloud to touch a receiver, and lord knows what happens if you touch the god damn quarterback.
I wish baseball was year round.
Is the game on kdfi tonight?

How does he not lay out for that Griffey ground ball to try to keep Ichiro at 3rd? That’s the second time I’ve seen him pull up on a ball like that in the last week. That’s bad baseball!

Takes too much effort to hustle.

The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. ~Bryant Gumbel, 1981
I realize he sucked after i was defending him last time
But really, was there anything wrong with that inning aside from a run technically crossing?
A .356 hitter bounced one down the line and griffey hit a slow roller to the right spot.
Although I wasn’t really paying close attention on a pitch by pitch basis maybe he looked worse than i noticed.
the preceding post was a great success.
well the pitch that griffey hit was right in the middle of the plate
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
I thought he looked pretty sharp.
This is going to be a good game for him.
Just remember what happened last time
and don’t defend him this game

I'd love for the O to explode for 10 runs
and then have Millwood get shelled so he can leave after 2.
I'd love for our bullpen
to not have to pitch much in this game since we’re going to have a double header tomorrow.
he needs 8 innings
it’s gonna vest regardless of how well he pitches. So, not being an utter moron, I’d like for him to pitch well and give the Rangers a chance at winning.
Millwood
Well our options are likely that his option vests and he’s 1 of our 5 best SPs next year, or his option doesn’t vest and the FO doesn’t spend that $12M at all. So sign me up for forcing their hand and having to pay for a solid veteran to go along with all the kids.

The blue ones last year looked ok
I actually have the Texas version of it.
What they need to do is color code the blue and reds according to team colors. Hopefully somebody in the MLB front office will grow a brain next year and do so.

Well, I don't mind the flag
but all the caps don’t have to be red. It would like fine in the teams primary cap colors.
Just keep the hat whatever the team color is...
And use the flag logo as is…
It’d look a lot better than this crap…
I don't think that would "stand out" enough for MLB's tastes...
But I agree.
