Annoying things:

The offense didn’t start taking that Marcum change up, the change up that almost got them no-hit in April, until the 7th inning.

The offense isn’t showing any urgency until the 9th inning. It’s too late then, fellas. Get the lead and get it to the bullpen. That’s how you’ve won the games you’ve won.

Josh Hamilton needs to be our 1B starting next year!!

It would keep him healthy. It would prolong his career. It would solve our 1B situation.

His defense would not have made a difference during this losing streak, but the absence of his bat made a big difference!!

I don’t care if his speed and arm is wasted at 1B……his bat and prolonged career is more important to this team!!

I’m tired of our best player being hurt all the time and it won’t get any better as time goes on……and this offense obviously needs him if we are to ever make it to the promise land!!

CRAP!!

That actually sounds

like a great idea to me. I still think we need a CF though, and either trade Borbon, or make him a bench defensive replacement OF.

You may be right

but there were folks all excited about Pie’s potential his rookie year. Borbon strikes me as the type of guy who has the athletic tools, but not the smarts or the work ethic to put it together.

I think the more Borbon plays the more he will be exposed, just like the Pies and Corey Patterson’s before him.

He doesn’t throw mid-90’s on The Show though, he’s more tricky because of his pitch mix, which I wanna say is sinker/slider/circle change.

Can never hit him consistently. I’ve pounded some monster home runs off his ass though, when he leaves that mid-80’s sinker up.

Out of interest. . .

The Rangers third-order record is 74-63. That ranks behind, in order, the Yankees (by 8), the Braves, the Red Sox, the Twins, the Rays, the Rockies and the Blue Jays. It’s two games ahead of the A’s. That includes strength of schedule, though I’m not entirely certain if it includes league quality. It does not (nor should it) include injury adjustment.

So, yeah, thank god for the division. The Rangers had actually been outperforming that total all season until lately. So this is just regression, I guess? Heh.

Anyway, while injuries are certainly why the Ranger are luck to have their awful division, they’re also a much better team when they’re 100%. Having Lee, Kinsler and Cruz alone is something in the neighborhood of 6-8 more wins, probably, which puts them right with the Yankees in true talent. So while this team sucks right now, as long as they’re healthy in the playoffs, they’ve got a good shot against even the best in baseball.

by philkid3 on Sep 8, 2010 12:04 AM CDT up reply actions  

Nah, I don't think it's regression.

I didn’t mean to suggest it’s totally because of the shitty national league teams we had the pleasure of playing that we’re ahead, but it definitely helps. I agree with you. Just a lot of injuries and this team isn’t anywhere near full-strength right now. But thank God for a shitty division, and a weak inter-league schedule. Hopefully they can fix what is ailing them, lock this thing down, and enter the playoffs hot.

He won’t take credit for the turnaround though, he is just glad for the opportunity.

last game I was at….an old man was doing the Zonk routine behind the plate…..but more to the 3rd base side rather than the Rangers side.

is he back? wasn’t wearing his “zonk” jersey as I remember him wearing.

The best thing about today's Rangers game

is that driving home from work, Randy Jones on the Padres pre-game show said “I want to hear the audio clip of Vlad’s home run” and his partner says “we don’t play clips from teams that aren’t in it.” Randy Jones then says “wait, do you think Vlad still is on the Angels – he’s on the Rangers – they’re still ‘in it’”.

yay.. The Angels aren’t ‘in it’ and the Rangers are. Screw you Anaheim.

This is hindsight, but I had this oddly guilty/sad/bad feeling when it happened.

I killed a Mantis a couple weeks before the Baltimore series. It was collateral damage from a raid on a hornet’s nest. It came stumbling down the tree to the grass, as I watched it struggle for it’s life, I had never felt so bad watching a bug die.
