PrintBoo. Tonight was officially hat-tip worthy.
Coming into the series this was the game you had to think would be the toughest for the Rangers to win going by pitching match-ups.
Regardless, Tommy Hunter is facing off against a man of clown ancestry tomorrow night with the chance to win this series. If the Rangers bats get going at all, you have to like the Rangers chances.

He’s either way under or way over. I would’ve liked to see Ron bench him give him a day off yesterday.

Rangers Pushing For Cantu
By Zach Links [July 24 at 9:55pm CST]
The Rangers are making a strong push for Marlins infielder Jorge Cantu as the deadline approaches, writes T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com. Texas is in search of a right-handed hitting backup first baseman and the 28-year-old is high on the team’s list.
Cantu is set to earn $2MM over the final two months of the season, a price the Rangers can’t afford. However, the judge presiding over the club’s bankruptcy case told the Rangers earlier this week that he has the power to have MLB extend their line of credit, which would make it possible for them to add payroll.
In recent weeks other teams have been said to have interest in Cantu, including the Giants, Rockies, and Angels.
92 wins or bust!

Which reminds me…Billy Beane got bent over by Jim Hendry a a couple of years ago.

Tonight he called me (he’d had a few Clan McGregor’s through the evening) to tell me how he liked the Cliff Lee trade now because the other guys seem to be soaking up Lee’s advice.

Many years upon this mound I've been
many strange things with my eyes I’ve seen.
Fastballs weighed down with a heavy chain;
soar toward the blue sky akin a crane.
Cutters that leaves my palm so serene;
hastily through the middle they careen.
Curveballs on some broken strings;
and changeups… that I’ve never seen.
Often I wonder if I’ve gone insane;
How could they tolerate pitching so profane?
Then in the dugout flashes number fourteen…
Well then, on this mound I shall forever remain.

I have a question
Let’s say you get kinda high, but you’re out of smokes and so you drive to a convenience store to get some. The nearest place that’s open is in the ghetto, and they not only have off duty cops as guards but real-live on duty cops are also hanging around.
So you go, and they look at you and they know you’re high. They stare at you the entire time you’re there. But you just drove to the store. You didn’t bring any pot or papers or pipes or anything with you. It’s just you and your money going in there really confused trying to buy cigarettes.
What is the worst that could happen? I mean I feared they’d wait for me to drive off and then get me for a dwi, but obviously they didn’t. Could they, though? They wouldn’t have any evidence.
Reasonable suspicion that a crime is in the process of being committed or has been committed.
They can Terry stop the hell out of you if they have articulable facts underlying a reasonable suspicion that you have or about to engage in DWI.

Dwi is the worst case
The reasonable suspicion could be the smell of pot or the classic red glassy eyes. In corpus you would be facing dwi, where they would argue you lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties by smoking pot.

If they think you're high
then you can get hooked for Public Intox (if such a think exists in your area…if it doesn’t, then the charge would be something like Disorderly Conduct or somesuch)
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
So a police officer who doesn't know me
…and consequently doesn’t know how I normally behave, could arrest me for disorderly conduct even if I wasn’t disorderly, or public intoxication without any evidence of that?
by Black Francis on Jul 25, 2010 11:21 AM CDT up reply actions
It depends on how high you are
If I can articulate well enough that you are under the influence of some type of intoxicating substance, then I can make an arrest. I have made PLENTY of DUI arrests where the person refused both the field sobriety tests and the breath test. Haven’t lost one yet.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
last night when I was out there I was worried.
The cops obviously weren’t too concerned because I passed within five feet of three of them and they didn’t say a word. Driving while high was something I did on a fairly regular basis during high school. In college I walked everywhere. Anyway so it had been a long time since I’d done it and that was part of my worry. I didn’t even go back to my friends’ house…just went home after that, haha.
Anyway, my point for the police who read this is that you do not lose your mental or physical faculties when you are just a little high. I’ve played some of my best tennis stoned. That requires some serious hand-eye coordination and reaction time. It’s nothing like alcohol or other drugs. Obviously if someone is really stoned they should not be driving. You get really stoned and you focus on your driving so much you lose the ability to drive defensively because you’re obsessed with what you are doing. That’s unsafe, but you have to get pretty high to get to that point. I’d venture to guess cops don’t have much contact with people who are just a little high because they never notice them. They run into the really high people occasionally, the idiots who’ll smoke while driving, and people who have combined pot and alcohol. Or they pull over every minority and teenager they can find until they find someone who they think is stoned.

" I’d venture to guess cops don’t have much contact with people who are just a little high because they never notice them."
you’re probably right.
“Or they pull over every minority and teenager they can find until they find someone who they think is stoned.”
I suspect you’re being a bit tongue-in-cheek there. But in the off chance you’re not, spare me. To lump ALL cops in with the tiny percentage who may do stuff like that is ignorant (in the same way that making racial generalizations is ignorant). I’m a human being..an individual. Unless I (as an Officer) wronged you in some way, then don’t hold someone else’s actions against me. Although I may to some people because I wear the uniform, I do not represent every police officer that has ever lived. So that cop who gave youa raw deal that time? Unless it was me, I don’t wanna hear it. When my career is said and done, I will look at myself in the mirror and say that I did things the right way. And if you are being tongue-in-cheek, then quit it. There are enough bad generalizations out there about how most cops are “this” or “that.” Realize that the vast majority of us signed up because we want to help people, and that’s what we try every day to do. It doesn’t need to be made harder because of people perpetuating stereotypes.
I love you, Black Francis…but you hit a button there. Sorry for the rant.
"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"
No, I know not all cops do that.
I wasn’t accusing you of being one of them. There were a few in the town I grew up in who were like that.

From Wiki
Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is not violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and searches him without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime.
For their own protection, police may perform a quick surface search of the person’s outer clothing for weapons if they have reasonable suspicion that the person stopped is armed. This reasonable suspicion must be based on “specific and articulable facts” and not merely upon an officer’s hunch. This permitted police action has subsequently been referred to in short as a “stop and frisk,” or simply a “Terry stop”. The Terry standard was later extended to temporary detentions of persons in vehicles, known as traffic stops.
The rationale behind the Supreme Court decision revolves around the understanding that, as the opinion notes, “the exclusionary rule has its limitations.” The meaning of the rule is to protect persons from unreasonable searches and seizures aimed at gathering evidence, not searches and seizures for other purposes (like prevention of crime or personal protection of police officers).

No, they could search you if they had reasonable suspicion, then use that reasonable suspicion to gather enough evidence for probable cause.
Then they could arrest you.

sorry everyone
I turned in early last night.
There are certain officers that have gone through very extensive training and are called “Drug Recogntion Experts.” They are trained on a longer set of Field Sobriety Tests that can be used to determine with reasonable accuracy what specific drug/combinations of drugs someone is on. They also do a long-ass clinical eval…needless to say, it’s quite a process.
The regular Field Sob. Tests (SFSTs in cop lingo) are designed to show if a person is “generally” intoxicated (i.e. they’re fairly non-specific). But there are some (and I’m not a DRE, so bear with me) that can show specific symptoms of marijuana use (and meth and coke, and LSD, so on and so forth). One of the weed specific tests is looking for something called “Reddened Conjuctiva,” which is the redness/inflammation of the pink tissue that connects the eyeball with the shit behind the eye ball. That, like the involuntary twitching (“nystagmus”) of the eye when you’re drunk, is a bodily reaction to the presence of THC in the system and something you cannot control (stuff you can control – balance tests, the Walk & Turn, etc).

Have any of the tests employed by DREs survived Daubert challenges?
I don’t know, as my criminal prosecution experience is of the white-collar variety. But I do know that HGN testing, for example, has been challenged successfully in several states.
No clue
I’m not, nor do I have ANY desire whatsoever to be a DRE

I have a very hard time believing
…that anyone could be trained to “detect” someone who’s mildly intoxicated. Not with any degree of accuracy. I don’t think that could be done without piss or blood samples and lab equipment.
There are lots and lots of things that can cause reddened conjunctiva. Conjunctivitis, for example. Allergies. Being in a room full of people smoking cigarettes. Rubbing the eyes.
I’m glad most police have common sense because these “experts” could really screw some totally innocent people and I’m sure a lot of judges just toe the line.

The DRE FSTs are not designed to detect someone who is mildly intoxicated
in the same way that regular booze FSTs aren’t designed to detect someone who is mildly drunk (just over .08 BAC).
If you’re stoned out of your mind and smell like Cheech &/or Chong, then you will probably draw some police attention. If you’re not (or mildly stoned) then it’s probably not worth the Officer’s time.

Smell
It is easy to smell stoners. They also have drug recognition experts.

Well I am not a stoner. Far from it.
I had three hits from a bong and we were outside. I doubt they could smell anything except the “off” bug spray I had on because of mosquitoes. And as soon as I spoke to a cop that would scare me straight, and certainly by the time I got to any kind of “expert” I wouldn’t even be high anymore.
The blood test would be a problem, I guess, but unless someone is just baked out of their mind why would they spend those kinds of resources?

"specific and articulable facts"
that’s the key there. The original case came from a cop in Ohio was sitting in his car in the summertime when he saw a couple of shady characters approaching a jewelry store. The were both wearing long coats (in the summer) and they had bulges in the coats that were of consistent size/shape of weapons. The cop made contact, detaining both guys, patted them down and found the weapons and hooked them. This is where the term “investigative detention” was invented. They are not under arrest, but they are not free to leave because the police have a right to investigate a possible crime if they have reasonable suspicion (when they have Probable Cause that a specific violation occurred or is about to occur, then they can make an arrest…think of RS as a step behind PC).

Game thoughts from Jeff Sullivan
“Somewhere among the thousands upon thousands of exasperating loudmouths was a young Red Sox fan, maybe six or eight or eleven years old, getting to watch his favorite team in person for the first time in his life. And to think, that kid almost saw a perfect game thrown by Boston’s most awesome pitcher! Such luck! Only instead of a perfect game, there was an error and a home run and more runs and a four-run loss. I hope that kid cries, and goes home, and wets the bed, and watches his parents get a divorce, and never gets a girlfriend. Haha Sox fan”

OT: Getting in shape
Does p90x work? Do I have to be in decent shape before I even start the program?
Yes
and kind of yes. But there are atricles out there abot morbidly obese folks who modify the moves and end up having great results.
You have to be wiling to sacrifice with the program….6 days a week, 60-75 minutes PLUS a strong diet plan (that is the key, if you ask me). But the results are phenomenal.
