Tonight's game

This is another one of those occasions where I don't really feel I have anything to say this afternoon.
Yesterday's game was what it was. The Rangers held San Francisco to 4 runs, which isn't bad, but the offense simply could do nothing with Madison Bumgarner.
I don't feel there's much in the way of analysis I can do for tonight's game, either. It is Cliff Lee versus Tim Lincecum. It is going to be what it is going to be.
I will say this...I don't find myself nearly as upset or as bothered by being down 3-1 as a lot of folks are, or even as much as I would have thought I would be. Part of that, I think, is that with this team, as I've said before, I feel like we're playing with house money. This team is seeing its championship window just now opening, it is well positioned to compete for several years, and not many folks before the season thought the Rangers would even with the A.L. West. Just seeing the Rangers in the World Series, something I've been waiting for for almost 40 years, with this team never even getting close, takes a lot of the sting out.
But the other thing about it is that I don't think this series is over. We have Cliff Lee going tonight. We have a team that has bounced back time and time again when things have gone badly. I have confidence that the Rangers will not let San Francisco celebrate a world championship in Arlington.
So...that's where I am. I'm optimistic about tonight. I think the Rangers will win this game. And I think they'll force a Game 6, and hopefully a Game 7. I think this series goes down to the wire, and I think whichever team wins it is going to have to earn it.
And I can't wait for first pitch tonight.

I always worry about
that playing with house money, window is just opening philosophy. Making the World Series or even the playoffs is tough in baseball and to assume it will happen over and over is a bit risky in my opinion…

I don't see where he assumes it will happen.
In large part due to the young core of players on this team, this team is in a good position to legitimately compete for a championship for the foreseeable future. It’s not a good bet because the odds are always so small for any team, but he’s right in saying that the window is just opening.

People did say the same thing about Tampa
and they haven’t been back since 08.
Are they competitive? Absolutely. But I’d take the World Series now. While it’s within reach. That’s SF’s attitude on the field. I hope the Rangers match that attitude tonight and the rest of the series.

Since '08?

If the Rangers don't make it back in 2011 or 2012,
it will almost definitely be a very different looking team that’s on the field when they do.
You should have said 'our team'
Just for max effect :)

I was going to say "and 'effect' instead of 'affect'"
But holy hell! “Affect” is a noun in the psychological sense.

Remember when Dan Marino took the Dolphins to the SB in his rookie year and lost. He figured, no big deal, I’ll go to plenty more. That didn’t work out too well for him.

I'm not saying he is
But just because the Rangers have a good young core doesn’t mean they’ll be back several more times. They may not go again for another 40 years.

The good news is that they've recently made another small advance in
creating artificial livers.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Tough to say.
They’re making advances on the architectural scaffolding needed to house the cells right now, which is something that is very important yet wasn’t really even being researched that much when they first started this initiative. There are Institutes of Regenerative Medicine at a lot of schools across the nation, and I know a lot of funding and work is being done on it. Also, they’re working concurrently on multiple organs; so while it will take longer to work out an artificial pancreas and especially heart in comparison to a liver, hopefully a lot of the underlying science and techniques end up being transferable.
All that being said, from what I can tell, everything being done right now is still in the “How do we get this to work?” phase and not the “How do we get this to work exceedingly well in patients?” phase.

I agree with you on this Adam.
This team has gone further this season than any of us expected. And there is no reason to assume that this ownership group with its resources and the farm system will let this thing go stale.
And the Rangers are going to win tonight. I know this because of the 7 home playoff games they’ve had this season, I’ve been to 4 of them. That’s the 4 they lost. The 3 I didn’t go to … they won. I’m not going tonight. Go Cliff! Go Rangers!

I have an old ameriquest field blaylock t-shirt on, under a rusty greer t-shirt jersey, under a kinsler t-shirt jersey, under the claw/antlers t-shirt. I have worn at least one of these shirts, for each of the ranger’s post season wins, their powers combined will bring us to game 6.

Yeah, that was my buddy making those.
MLB did indeed send him several C&D letters late last week, and his website got shut down Friday afternoon.
We are discussing intellectual property law and going to investigate his recourse, but he’s not really shut down, just his website is. Bottom line: MLB has no trademark or proprietary interest in Ron Washington’s face, or something Wash said to the media. Ron Washington HAS filed for trademark protection for the phrase “That’s the way baseball go,” however.
Anyways, long story short, not sure how he is going to proceed yet; if you were lucky enough to come across him at Game 3, he had like 300 shirts in his car that he was selling. Richard Durett bought one, actually.
Bottom line:
MLB stepping in and shutting him down is utter bullshit. There is nothing MLB related whatsoever on the shirt.
Why would they want to increase the excitement in their game?

has WASH filed or have the rangers

The Rangers wouldn’t have a proprietary interest in something Ron Washington said to the media, unless his employment contract gives up the rights to anything he created in the course of employment (as an inventor for say, 3M would have in his contract.)
just making sure
was a minor question

Well, the Rangers have lawyers and Im just guessing but it seems stupid to me.

It’s automatic; you don’t have to “file” for a copyright. Trademarking is a different thing. You get protection for something if you have been using something unique for a period of time, or if you simply just file for protection with the USPTO.
Famous people also have some protection for their image automatically, so Wash would have an interest in the shirt regardless. The Rangers, however, do not, nor does MLB.

Yep
with a good team, and lack of injuries, you may make it back to the playoffs, but to make it to the World Series, you need your bats to be hot, and your pitching strong, and to be relatively injury free for a month.

The way i see it...
Before the series the Rangers were favored in games 1, 3, 5, 7… The favored team has won every game except 1 when they beat cliff. So they beat us once when they shouldn’t have, now we have to do the same in game 6, the toughest matchup left. Then game 7 with Colby you gotta feel good about if we can get there, we just need cliff to do his thing tonight, get lucky Wednesday and then finish the deal Thursday. It’s definitely a long shot to play great baseball 3 straight games, but this team is certainly capable and has the heart to pull this off.

This post pretty sums my feelings almost exactly
The future is bright for this franchise. The only caveat is that making it to the playoffs and to the World Series is very hard to do, and I wouldn’t want to assume that they will get here again in the next 5 years, even if they continue to have a very good team.
Ultimately, I have confidence that the Rangers will win tonight and possibly again in game 6. If they do both of those things and Colby Lewis is on the mound for game 7, who knows?
Not mediocre. Right about average
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here..
But, how sick would it be if we won the next two and forced a game 7. How amazing would that be to this season and this franchise? Makes me happy to think about.
We will win tonight. Lee has got to have some revenge after his game 1 debacle. He is poised to take this back to San Fran.
pretty sick, brah
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
"Once you suffer through it, it’s all glorious beard from there." -GoET
I agree and all I ask....
…..is for the Rangers to play their game:
1) No half swings. During this entire series, it appears the hitters are concentrating more on not striking out than driving the ball. When we drive the ball, good things happen.
2) No mental errors.
3) No walks.
If we can do these things, we may win, yet even if we lose by doing this, I can accept it. I just can’t take anymore of this stupid, non-effective, pussy-like approach at the plate by a very good offensive team!
We are the friggin Texas Rangers! We have pitching, we play defense and our offense can crush you in so many ways!

I'm ready
I was at Game 1 and 2 in SF (saw GoET). I sat around and listened to Giants fans talk shit for 48 straight hours. I stayed until the final pitch both games only to have to walk around that beautiful stadium with assholes cussing at me, throwing beer, etc.
Take it to ’em, Cliff. Fuck ’em all. No prisoners the next three games.
We won three games in a row 14 times this season, we are about to make it 15.

Giants fan here
Hi again everyone
Part of that, I think, is that with this team, as I’ve said before, I feel like we’re playing with house money. This team is seeing its championship window just now opening, it is well positioned to compete for several years, and not many folks before the season thought the Rangers would even with the A.L. West. Just seeing the Rangers in the World Series, something I’ve been waiting for for almost 40 years, with this team never even getting close, takes a lot of the sting out.
Adam,
Very well said. If I replace “Rangers” with “Giants” and “A.L.” with “N.L.”, I’ve felt the same way about my team all post-season.
Regardless of who wins the Series, fans of both the Rangers and Giants have a lot to feel good about. Both team have exceeded expectations, have very bright futures and are very likable teams with a lot of great stories.
Win or lose, we can all be proud of what our teams have done this season.
Let's win this thing for Sue Burns!
I will be in kill mode if I go back
I might go by myself so there are no accomplices.

I'm walking out the door as soon as I hit "Post", headed to the Ballpark...
But I have one last thing to say.
The Rangers will win tonight.
The Rangers may or may not win this series, but they will win tonight, and they will give San Francisco all they can handle before this is over.
Prepare yourselves, Giants. The Texas Rangers are coming, and hell’s coming with ’em.
from a coworker today...
After that sad affair last night I decided that I could
a) be realistic, accept where it looks this is going, enjoy tonight even if the Giants win and be happy I got the experience,
b) be sad and downtrodden that our teams has looked so sad with the exception of one game or
c) be the hometown fan that doesn’t give a crap if the math is against his team because baseball is magical and the baseball gods smile upon teams like the Rangers.
I’m choosing c. I did some research and the Rangers have had 3 game win streaks 11 times this season. We have also had a streak of 11 games which is three win streaks of 3 games back to back (2 more) and we had a 7 game win streak which is two 3 game streaks back to back (1). So we have had 16 separate three game win streaks this year. We only have to do that one more time and the Series is ours. Mathematically speaking it seems that it would be impossible for the Giants to win the World Series and I can only imagine what their fans are feeling right now.
Really difficult to argue with that.
Nicely said.
I think that’s why I like baseball so much, the magical/romance or whatever angle of it.

Omg!
Just posted my previous post, then get out of my car, in my Hamilton jersey, and begin to walk in to the convenience store. Two dudes walk out in their Giants uniforms over their pot leaf t-shirts and begin talking shit. I fire back, but admittedly, it was weak.
One holds up a bottle of champagne in my face, exclaiming “We’re gonna POP this tonight baby! After kicking that Ranger ass!” I’m about 5 feet from the door, the other dude grabs my arm pretty hard to pull me around, I immediately react without a thought and punch the dude, knocking him into his buddy, who falls and breaks the bottle if champagne.
I’m actually not very proud of myself, but if happened nonetheless. Plenty of people around who all jumped in and nothing else happened except me being escorted back to my car and a bunch of shit-talkin.
A little Mexican lady pumping gas yelled “Good job Hamilton. They make fun of my shirt to.”
So I’m sweating and my heart is racing right now, but hopefully the Rangers are just as tired of this shit as we are, and POP the Giants right in the face and ensure no champagne flows tonight!
This is absolutely true, but if you doubt it, I guess I don’t really give a shit anyway…lol

What are the odds that this actually happened?
It’s cartoonish.
You’re outnumbered, minding your own business when you’re attacked, unprovoked both verbally and physically. Sure, you didn’t want to react, because you’re just a gentle giant, but your honest defensive reaction takes out not one but two boorish Giants fans. Their embarrassing afternoon ends with swollen jaws and their victory champagne spilled all over the convenience store floor. There will be no celebration for these two.
And hey, if you’re making up stories, why not put a little Mexican lady who cheers the hero on. Make her a Ranger fan too…that’ll make the story extra special.

As weird as it may sound, given the circumstances, I’m both a Giants and Rangers fan. I’ve been to perhaps 2/3 of the Rangers games in the Oakland Colosseum for the past twenty years wearing my Ruben Sierra jersey and have been pulling for both Texas and SF to make the World Series for decades.

Mock a post by a guy who tells a story that may or may not be true but LSBers are just accepting as is and moving on because we’re all looking for encouragement today. This is why we savage newcomers or fans from other blogs. Even if you are posting something that contains kernels of truth, you don’t know us or our emotional state and have not formed any sort of relationship here that would cause us to give you a break.
If you came by in the offseason or during the regular season and wanted to chat, you would get a bit more understanding. Coming here when the Rangers are down 3-1 to the team that you claim as your own is going to engender flaming unless you use common sense and approach it cautiously.
Also, you may have few clothes, but please pass on to your mother that I expect her to be wearing less tonight.

It's missing one key element of a Baylor guy's story:
It doesn’t mention anywhere his wife, “who, being a Baylor woman and all, is of course absolutely stunning, and whose hotness distracted the Giants fans enough for me to get a few kicks in on my way out.”
It happened just like I wrote it...
…but it might seem like bullshit to you. It’s the truth, and I still can’t believe it happened. I’ve been on LSB for a long time, yet I don’t post all that often, as I don’t often have much new or interesting stuff to add.
Also, due to my medical condition, which I have mentioned in a post a couple years ago, it makes the story even more unbelievable.
Honestly, the reason I bothered to even type all that shit from my phone is because it was unreal to me. Usually, I don’t use such improper grammar, tense, or punctuation, however I was still jacked up, so that post suffered quite a bit.
I don’t spend my time posting too much normally, so I’m not going to bother making up unbelievable stories to get bashed over in the Angrydome…lol. I know how this place works.
No, I didn’t go to A&M or Baylor. I’m from the lowly depths of UNT, or NTSU, as it was called when I first arrived there. I might not be as smart as an Aggie, but it doesn’t mean I’m full of shit either.

Thanks for this Adam.
I’m with you, a WS win would be gravy after this crazy year and beating the Yankees in the ALCS. I’ll have some gravy please. Go Rangers.
Weird things happen on Halloween,
But it’s November 1, and that means things are back to normal. Cliff Lee is in control tonight!
Tonight's game reminds me of the scene from V for Vendetta
Where Natalie Portman escapes Creedy’s men (the Yankees) only to be kidnapped and thrown into a cell anyway. She gets her head shaved and tortured for a little bit (games 1 and 2 in SF) but doesn’t give up.
Then she finds a letter in the toilet and regains hope after reading that lesbian chick’s story (Colby in game 3).
Then she gets tortured again and the interrogator tries to get her to give up (game 4 with Hunter and Bumgarner) before accepting that she might die behind the chemical shed (no, not Lindsay Lohan).
So she welcomes her fate and accepts that anything can happen only to find out that it was all a test and Hugo Weaving is standing there waiting for her.
Cliff Lee is our V. The Man in Game V.
And after we win tonight and take the next two games (train full of dynamite that all Rangers fans get to use to blow up Parliament and herald a new day for MLB), Cliff V will ram a dagger into the heart of Creedy (the Yankees) by re-signing here.

Seagull Assassins perhaps?
I’m sure Aquaman is familiar with various furtive and less than upstanding sources.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
Plus, didn't Portman shave her head for it?
I am reluctant to support things that cause her to shave her head.
like in the first line of his description
She gets her head shaved and tortured for a little bit (games 1 and 2 in SF) but doesn’t give up.
Remember, Remember
Remember, remember, the 4th of November.
A Game 7, a most unlikely plot.
I see no reason
This Texas Rangers’ season
Should ever be forgot!
Pete Abraham is stupid.
Rob Neyer retweeted this:
PeteAbe
Slick move, Chuck Greenberg. Ripping #Yankees fans will only motivate Randy Levine and Co. even more to sign Cliff Lee.
As you can imagine, this statement gave me pause.
@PeteAbe Because before Greenberg said anything, the Yankees weren’t going to give it 100%?
His response:
@MarkCMoore You dont know how they work. They live for revenge in that front office.
So I asked him:
@PeteAbe Oh, so 110%, then?
And he missed the point:
@MarkCMoore I don’t really follow your point in that I never put a percentage on it in the first place.
So now we’re at:
@PeteAbe My point is that it’s laughable to think that Greenberg’s comments will change how the Yankees pursue a player.
It’s completely ridiculous to believe that the Yankees will somehow pursue Lee harder now that Greenberg said something. Before, they were “meh” about the whole deal. Now, though? This shit is ON!

And now, I know your name.
=D

Yeah I thought about editing it, but whatever.
This place will already be thrown at me when I run for public office, anyway.

I feel like every pre-Law student I met at Baylor
has seriously considered running for office. I’d be curious to know what the percentages are.

The difference here, GB
Is that I’m fucking awesome.

I'll admit that I'm slightly less awesome than that guy.
He is Awesome personified.

It was obvious who in my law class had political aspirations.
And they divided into two categories: the likeable politicos and the fake shithead-y ones.
Me, I’m way too over the top and unguarded with my opinions to ever run for public office.
Those campaign commercials are going to be epic.
‘Aquaman56 made obscenity-laden posts such as “FUCK FUCK FUCK WHAT THE FUCK, VLAD?” He also wished rape upon no fewer than seven different people. Is this the kind of official Texas needs? Aquaman56. He’s only for the Texas Rangers, not for Texas.’
I am Aquaman56, and I have never wished rape on anyone for anything.
A stiff heated pear from time to time, sure. Who hasn’t?
And if you’re not for the Texas Rangers, you’re for the Communists. Nobody wants to be for the Communists.

I'll vote for you if for no other reason than
you can make sure that poor UT finds some way to get included when the Big 10 comes to try and recruit BU away from the Big12 in 2024. Respect the tradition…

"Oh HELL no!!!"

Exactly.
Steinbrenner’s Spawn’s minion: Sir, the Rangers have offered Cliff Lee $150 million for six years.
Steinbrenner’s Spawn: “Well looks like they win, then. With the luxury tax and existing commitments, we can’t beat that in this economy.” /Balls up fist and hits table. “Drat.”
TV in the corner shows clip of Greenberg’s quote about the Yankees.
Steinbrenner’s Spawn’s minion: “Sir…”
Steinbrenner’s Spawn: “I DON’T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, $300 MILLION!! $400 MILLION!! TEN YEARS!! FIFTY!!”
/Head explodes…
And scene.

I think I've found my life's calling.
Science will have to wait.

Heh
“Hey, Yankees- I bet you won’t sign Joaquin Arias!”
“Oh, yeah, just watch us!”
Followed by:
(SPORTSTICKER: Yankees sign SS Arias to 5-year, $50 million deal…)
Repeat about 20 more times, and our evil plan is complete!

Beautiful read.
Except iterations of “it is what it is” which, as an empty tautology, creates no idea. It is pure emptiness.
I’ll keep reading, not to worry… Heh.
Go Strangers.
I've always hated that saying as well
Of course “it is what it is”. Could it be anything else?
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
Yeah, but I still use it sometimes
Mostly with clients who do not like what I am telling them.

Ah.
Still going to go ahead and not say it.
