There had to be some miscommunication there between Pudge and Moscoso, because nobody's that bad.

In which case Pudge still needs to get his shit together and square his pitcher away.

Just switched over to MLB

Apparently our loss tonight clinched a spot in post-season for the MF Yankees.

Blalock and Borbon

Plus Byrd when Murphy tried to go to third, and Kinsler to end the game…

For having 11 games left,

what other teams are as ready to see their burning ship finally sink?

Worst part is, I think they can see more upside.

The Houston Astros

lost Oswalt for the rest of the season,
fired their manager a few days ago,
lost their 9th game in a row,
their only good starter isn’t pitching again until 3 more games,
and they’re playing a Cardinals team that’s chasing the best record in the league…

Rampage Jackson has quit fighting.

Will now pursue an acting career after apparently getting mis-treated by Dana White.

I wasn’t really a big Rampage fan,but I loved the way he trashed talked. He was what the UFC needed.

Holy shit, I just started watching the new UF.

I guess no Rashard Evans either?

I knew he was going to miss the fight in December since that is when they are filming A-Team with Rampage Jackson playing Mr. T.

Going Through The Motions

Ian Kinsler looks like he’s approaching every at-bat just looking to get finished with his season. 2 RBI in 20 games.

by Mister Naxal on Sep 23, 2009 12:07 AM CDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

30/30

It’s pretty clear to me, after watching so many (hundreds of) pop-ups and (though only a few) questionable stolen base attempts, that Kinsler has had his eye on 30/30 the entire year. This feeling is only strengthened by the email that Michael Young’s wife sent out following the Newberg-All-Star-Final-Vote Kinsler and Young dinner giveaway where she said something to the tune of: “Come out and watch Ian get 30/30!” I mean…if Young’s wife is talking about it at the all-star break…Ian was almost certainly focused on it. To the detriment of the team…

(Sorry if someone has written about this before. I’ve been offline for a little while.)

OT: Stub Hub

I know some here have used it before, anyone have issues? Ive never used it before.

They have some good deals on tickets for the weekend series, guess season ticket holders are dumping tickets for the end.

I used it and had no problems at all

If you find a good deal, don’t hesitate to jump on it. They are reputable.

Good & bad

They came thru for me on several MLB games at different venues but hosed me with uncertainty at the Cotton Bowl.

I considered the Cotton Bowl incident an aberration and I’d use them again.

I've used them half dozen times and no problems

Once got tix really early in the season but the tix hadn’t shipped to the owner and I knew I wouldn’t get them before I left town, so StubHub shipped them to my hotel which worked out well.

Remember Red, hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.

I've used them for concert tix and...

…Stars tix and they have always done exactly what they said they would.

I have no objection to man walking on the moon.

Thanks everyone for the input

got some tickets 5 rows from the field for below face value.

Discussion question:

Anderson/Cahill or Holland/Feliz?

weighing in on my own question

I think I’d lean towards the A’s duo. Anderson looks the most impressive of the 4 to me, and I think I’d also take Cahill over Holland.

Tough to say it, but I think if you look at them objectively it is tough to rate the Texas pair higher, but I’m open to someone convincing me otherwise.

heh, one more reply to self

The bright side is that Texas has six years control over both of ours, while Oakland has only 5 years on both of theirs.

I guess we have to see if Feliz can handle starting

but I love having that weapon in the bully. He’s a game-changer out there and could potentially be one of the best closers in the game.

I’d lean towards Cahill/Anderson until we see more consistency from the Dutch Oven and get a better handle on how Feliz will do as a starter.
