MY back and DH'ing

The Rangers need a shot of energy? Well, tonight they are going to seem Young again.

Michael Young is returning to the Rangers lineup just two weeks after suffering a significant left hamstring strain. Young ran bases this afternoon and pronounced himself fit to play. He was inserted into the No. 2 spot in the lineup with the only limitation being that he will play DH.

Here’s the full lineup: LF Julio Borbon, DH Michael Young, RF David Murphy, CF Marlon Byrd, 2B Ian Kinsler, 1B Chris Davis, C Ivan Rodriguez, 3B Esteban German, SS Elvis Andrus.

That can't be correct

Davis is batting 6th! So did he lose the pacifier or training wheels?

This is a big night for LSB

The baby boy who has been propped up the entire season is actually getting some responsibility and a chance to prove he’s not here solely because the GM drafted him.

The 6 Hole in the line-up. WOW!!!

Josey

I asked you this twice already this week, and still no response:

Why do you act like JD favors “his guys” as if no other GM in the history of organized sports does this? Because they pretty much all do.

That’s a weak line of argument, even for you.

Murphy over Cruz...

Hey we take the good with the bad here ... right?

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

Cruz

Man, you’d think Cruz was the one with a big option about to vest due to games played.

Thank God we got Cruz out of there!!!! He was just freaking killing us.

I thought it be all warm and shitty, but it just tasted like normal beer. It was still cold.

Darn you beat me to it!

I saw it on facebook. Big boost I hope

OT question

What do the 1 and 2 in your username mean? Elvis & Teagarden / Ramon Vasquez (“12”) / Geno Petralli (“12”) or someone else?

My brain must've been off that day

Was thinking Ian was 12 for some reason. But the Elvis Tea thing makes a good explanation

Young returns on the first day with no rain

He returns the same day the Angels begin a critical series with another team beginning a critical series

He returns against some spare named Edgar Gonzalez

Young returns a day after I bitched the team out using my ‘outside voice’, fifteen rows behind their dugout

And he returns with the team failing to have scored a run in it’s last 19 innings, and six games

wow.

the preceding post was a great success.

probably because it wasn't really noteworthy

Picked a bad time to record your first back-to-back shutouts of the year

That's 19 straight innings my friends

well could you take

sitting on the bench not being able to do anything while watching your first playoff chance in fives years slip away?

Youk

out for the Sox

It's awesome knowing that one of those teams is going to lose for the next three days

But what pisses me off is that we have an off-day Thursday and the Red Sox and Angels don’t.

That’s why winning yesterday was critical

If we somehow make the playoffs

This would be a great time to win like 7 in a row...

I like face coming back to hopefully provide a spark and win some ball games.

my better is better than your better.

God I hope so

that would be the shit.

From Todd Wills' MLB Preview

McCarthy can build use momentum when he takes the mound at pitcher-friendly Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, considering he’s allowed 13 home runs in 76 1/3 innings this season.

McCarthy is going to be pretty lonely in Oakland. And “can build use”? Does anyone proof read this stuff?

Yay

Considering Hamilton coming back probably won’t mean shit in terms of production, getting MY back this soon is the best we can hope for right now.

Now, of MY can just remember how to hit with RISP…
