Playing like they want to win.

Well
Ron Washington is a fucking idiot for not using a defensive sub in the 9th.
Fortunately, we had some luck on our side tonight.
And Elvis. Damn he was so smooth on that DP. I love you Elvis.
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
Didn't watch the game
but just read the GDT. What did Barnett say about him?
Ric Renner is a giant douche.
Good decision
by RW to start Blalock tonight. Poor decision to have him in there in the 9th inning. (

Concur...
and why the hell did he pull Feldman in the 7th? The guy was rolling. Still had under 100 pitches, had retired 6 in a row, there wasn’t a tough lefty coming up or anything. I was just as puzzled as Feldman was that Wash pulled him. That was stupid imo.

This was Felsdman's last home start
I think Wash wanted Feldman to leave the mound to a ovation. Not that many in the crowd realized it was his last home start.

I sure didn't
but that’s actually not a bad reason. Guess he might not have explained it to Scooter though.

This was one of those rare games where defense made the difference
Pitching OK both ways, little hitting by either team, good bullpen work. It isn’t often that the little winning difference came with the glove (despite Hank’s boo boo)

Ron Washington
Is there any question that he is a fucking idiot? He should be fired for that lack of defensive change.
OT: Wow FSU is reaming BYU
Hank Blalock hasn't played in a game since Sept. 6, and is hitting just .182 in 99 at-bats since Aug. 1.
Yep,The Honeymoon is over for BYU.

Help me out...
I turned the game off after the Blalock error and the double steal. How in the world did Frankie get out of it?
Ephesians 3:20-21...and I can only imagine
walked juan.
went 3-0 to howie, and got the count to full. Howie hit went one up the middle elvis grabbed it, and touched second threw to first DOUBLE PLAY!

How about that Hank F?

Good call by Wash to start him
since he owns Weaver.

Tried to lose the game for the team
so a hitting a HR is worth an E ?
He is done…. Nice guy, but hes done

Flashback
To the Rangers’ blueprint for victory this summer—great pitching, great pen, (mostly) great D, not a great OPB but some power to produce runs. Doesn’t allow for a huge margin of error. Adam’s analysis a few days ago was right on the mark—no hitting and especially no power—then fewer wins.
So I just got back from the TCU game (don't give a shit about OneRepublic concerts)
How’d Feldmania look?

Good.
Ron took him out with 2 out and nobody on in the 7th, and he looked pretty pissed about it though.

Very good
He used his change up more than I can remember him doing in any other start this season. He really only made one bad pitch, a hanging curve to Napoli.

How many LSB'ers
were singing the O’Day song in Section 36? That had to be some people on this board…

Feldman
I don’t think I have ever seen Feldman throw as many quality change ups in one start as he did tonight. He really used his off-speed stuff well today. His K rate continues to creep higher as the season goes on and his FIP continues to fall. And he is 8-1 with a 2.95 ERA in his last ten starts.
I would really like to see him the season strong and get to 20 wins. That would be pretty remarkable for a starter that began the year in the bullpen.
That second to last sentence should say
end the season strong and get to 20 wins.

Heh, it's nice to have a win
so if a band you really liked that no one heard of
came out with a catchy song. A good, but catch song that got a lot of play on radio would you be mad?
To answer that question, no and maybe. No, because the song is good, unlike 99% of music on the radio nowadays. Maybe, if it’s not the most deserving song the band has released.
I wouldn't really put it in that category
That song seems to be sorta polarizing among Weezer fans (something like, it’s either a brilliant piece of music, or they’re trying too hard or it doesn’t suit their style), but I love it. Great song. I think I’d push it above Undone (The Sweater Song) in my favourite songs from the Blue Album.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
Depends.
Bands can write great catchy songs and not compromise musicianship.
See: Foo Fighters – My Hero or Everlong.

Just got home
hooooly crap I was about to strangle someone when Hank F. screwed up that play in the 9th.

Heh...
All it would take is a 13-2 finish from the Rangers and they are back in this thing.

Even if the Rangers win out
they need help at this point from either the Boston or the Angels. They lost control of their own destiny with the loss to the Angels.

Yup.
Though one would have to hope that the Halos lose at least one game outside the ones we would have to beat them in.
What do voluntary mean?
Yep, they probably will
on the other hand, I haven’t seen many signs in the last 2 months that this club will run the table. Since August started, this team is a 500 ballclub, and that isn’t going to get it done.
