I move that we play only double headers in 2010.

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
We would be allowed to have a 55 man active roster all year.
Plus only play Thurs-Monday. ALways off Tues and Wed. It’s perfect. The pen could make that work right? Although it would be difficult to find 10 starters.
Give me team chemistry and emotion over stats any day. Do you think 34,000 Ranger fans were screaming their asses off over Pudge and his .275 OBP?

i love going to DH
Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.
"So when I did that," Feliz says, "I told my mom, 'There you go. There's your present. Don't ask me to strike anyone else out, OK?'
Yeah, but I'm encouraged we managed to score 21 runs off the fucking Indians

what happens when our bats return to "fail mode" though?

we're from Texas

come back and start hitting.

I was pretty sure we would score in the beginning and then wouldn’t do squat the rest of the game.

Really nice game from Davis
but I’m not sold that he’s broken out of anything.
Give him credit for the hard gb with eyes and the bomb but those were terrible pitchers the Tribe threw at us.

Davis gets
shit from me because he’s always going 1 for 22, 3 for 44 or 7 for 60.
If the training wheels ever come off and he becomes a productive and consistent player I will champion him but as it is, the only reason he’s in the line-up every day now is because Jon Daniels drafted him (and it has nothing to do with performance).

You said earlier this evening that you were worried about Davis both now and in the future.
With good reason.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
You also forgot Ian Kinsler (who is the Heath Barkley of our family).
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Just a minor slip of the tongue (keyboard, rather)
You give absolutely no shit to Chris Davis (as stated above). You give it to posters on blogs. Even then, it’s figurative not literal. So back away from the phrase “Davis gets shit from me”, unless you are sending it parcel post collect.

It certainly wasn't for the performance Davis has thrown down this year, bigsteve.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
So Blalock's performance this year has warranted him playing time?
"Fuck those guys. They got lucky. I’m going to whip their ass the next time I take the mound."
The difference offensively between he and Blalock is miniscule
And Davis is great defensively. The fact Blalock has been worse since the ASB than Davis was at the beginning of the season is another reason Davis is playing.
The fact is we have no good options at 1B this season. So between the two bad ones we do have we are choosing to go with the one whos better defensively and will be here next year and possibly for several years to come. I don’t see how hard this is to understand

Until Josey engages in conversation about the 20-9 in May then his little 28-19 shit means nothing to me
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.
In the month of May, Chris Davis hit .189 with a .238 obp
yet the Rangers went 20-9.
So how did they do it?
They had seven other players with OPS above .800 so they were able to carry his sorry ass for the month.
In June, there was one player with an OPS above .800 and they couldn’t carry him any more.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
Blalock led this team in HR & RBI from July 1
thru mid August.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
And you lead LSB in troll post

No sir
your argument has been that Chris Davis was bringing “this thing” down because people in the clubhouse were pissed off he was still here sucking such a large cock at the plate. And your theory is that as soon as he went down because he was no longer here we started winning.
If he was such a drain on everyone else then we should not have been able to go 20-9 in May.
Oh and your boy Hank had the 2nd lowest OPS among regular players from July 1st – August 25th (the 28-19) stretch). Only Kinsler had a lower one. So how much exactly did he contribute to that?
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.
Davis went thru one of his patented 7 for 60 (with 27Ks) / 3 for 44 (with 24Ks) streaks
at the end of May and it was at that point that the team started the heavy platoon with Hank F (while Davis played every day) and it obviously wasn’t playing well in the room or in the field or in the standings.
The moment Hank F started playing every day, the June Swoon magically ended and the team went on a 28-19 streak.
Since the latest changes were made the Rangers are 9-6 which is on pace to hit the 24-15 they need to have to justify this move. Need to 15-9 to get there.
Chris Davis could make the argument moot if he’d finally start hitting.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
We went 28-19 in spite of Hank Blalock not because of him
We went 20-9 in spite of Davis not because of him.
1B has been terrible all season for us regardless who has been there. You however seem to target only 1 of the two guys we’ve primarily played there.
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.
I don't usually reply to your dumbass...
but you got handed a big cup of shut the fuck up today.
I know you wanted the Rangers to lose so you could blame it on CD and say they are now out of This Thing. Well guess what? They didn’t.
Borbon went deep twice along with a walk and SB in the first game and CD went 3-5 with a big HR and sac-fly in the second. Not only that, but he made at least 6 or 7 digs and tags at 1st base that your boy would have botched. That’s right, defense from a 1st baseman. What a concept. Oh, and the kid you said who wasn’t ready for The Show made not one but two spectacular plays today.
So there you go JW, you’re bit is old and stale. Shut the fuck up.

Adam
said tonight that he was worried about Davis both now and in the future.
With good reason – he goes thru the long streaks of futility (was in a 1 for 20) and he’s not walking which means he makes too many outs.
Maybe he broke thru tonight but I wouldn’t hang my hat on it because of how bad those pitchers were.

Madison Bumgarner got the start today for the Giants in his ML debut because Lincecum wasn’t able to go.
He looked pretty good too.

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.
Yeah...
his fastball was sitting 87-89 most of the night.
Anyone know what his velocity was usually at in the minors?

Reports before this season said he was a mid-upper 90s
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.
The velocity dip started a month ago IIRC.
Seemed like he’s been tired lately, which is one of many reasons why Giants fans aren’t particularly thrilled with this move.
I think it had to start more than a month ago
His K numbers this year have dropped sharply
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.
Velocity had been there initially though.
The first I heard of his velocity loss was from a tweet from Goldstein at the very end of July.

Please, Sam, dont go back out there behind that offensive line. Its not worth it. Let big game Boob and that sorry O-line have their 3 or 4 loss season. Its not the end of the world and after some surgery and rehab you’ll be as good as new. It just really scares me for his safety if he goes out there there against Sergio Kindle, Acho and that crew with a tight end playing center

Feliz says his greatest thrill was striking out Boston Red Sox DH David Ortiz, one of his heroes. Yet, when he called to tell his parents, his mother had a request: Strike out New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, too.

I understand B-Mac's game score wasn't good...
but I’ll take just about any game where our starter makes it into the 7th these days.
No reason whatsoever that Ichabod
should have been out there in the 7th and then going to Eddie G?

You, sir, are the most disrespectful ass on this site.
Can speak of any player by their given name? Or, do you have to give every player you dislike a derogatory nickname?

Should also point out that Carrasco had a 32
and Laffey a 10 for the Tribe.
Worst Game Score of I’ve seen this year went to the Dutch Oven (he had a 3) last week v Toronto.
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."

I didn't have a problem with him going out there in the 7th.
But don’t bring Eddie in. Grilli or O’Day in that situation please.
I think they should just be able to say
“Put him on”
i’d like that.

It gets better as it goes. King wrote the early books when he was very young, then he left the series for a long time. When he went back, he was a better writer and it shows.
If you’ve read some of his other stuff, references and tie-ins show up a lot. Especially to The Stand.
