Friday a.m. Rangers stuff

Would just be the cherry on top of a delicious ice cream sundae called this strange little season.

that Sabathia has locked it up

I will cut him some slack if that was the case.

I baked you a cake sorry I was a little drunk and got the name messed up, also birthday wishes to ftwdrummer…..and Tyler I think

because I didn’t think the questions could get any dumber, had to read it to believe it

but this one was especially full of stupid.

he’s OMTT. Check the jersey.

are the worst at their jobs I have ever seen.

of someone making a very simple grammatical error while writing that someone else is the idiot. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

He has been better than good. He has been reliable.

I guarantee, it’ll relieve that creepy feeling.

Well, as long as you wear a shoe.

But they ain’t.

That way they can all talk about how great their GM is while only beating out the Angels each year for the next half decade.

I’m amused by the fact that a lot of the posters at LL are ridiculing Armstrong. Did they just read about what Jack Z did? I mean, that’s pretty god damned low.

but it just feels like a contrived rivalry. I want re-alignment that puts the LOLstros and Rockies in the same division as our boys. Proximity can breed better rivalries, IMHO (and, well, consistent contending on our part).

There was 2001, but I wasn’t paying as much attention in the ‘90s when the M’s were a real thorn in the Rangers’ side. Thus, I hate the Angels a lot more than the M’s.

But yours is better. He’s a righty, so that’s good.

He is not a lefty.

Big Bonus!

Run him in the third and seriously ruin their bullpen for the weekend.

Run for the hills!

Someone sarcastically suggests we should trade Cliff Lee for him, and GoET goes Columbine on the gameday thread with the banstick.

Without knowing what Robbie’s expectations post will say, I’d say that anything less than 2 of 3 would have to be considered a failure here. The matchups seem to be heavily skewed in our favor.

who everyone reveres as a manager.

You’re, what, 4 games up in your division, 2 up for home field, and you allow your rotation to be decimated in an extra innings game? That isn’t very bright.

I remember a game early this year, where people wanted Borbon to bunt a guy from 2nd to 3rd when there were no outs and the Rangers were down by 1 in the ninth (I think at Oakland). Adam and I (I think) were the only two people to say that you shouldn’t bunt there, because when you are playing for one run, you’re usually at most going to score one run. And that would’ve ended up decimating the bullpen that night and potentially made it harder to win future games. Whereas if Borbon swings away, at least he still may knock in the run and there is a far greater chance to win the game right then and there. (Of course, Borbon popped out or something)

I’m not saying Minny misplayed any specific plays, but going all out for an extra inning game that ends up costing you decent chances at winning over the next couple of days is idiotic.

but Scott Baker left last nights game after 2 IP.

After the contest, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said that Baker is once again battling some tendinitis in his elbow and received a cortisone shot in his elbow after he left the game.

I think the Twins are destined to lose to the Yankees again in the first round.

Is it tonight? Washington will be playing in it.
