Series Thread: Rangers in a short home stand with the A's

[donaldson79]

Hamilton always seemed like a really good fella. Conducted himself as such too.

This has all those earmarks of Steve McNair on first blush.

Hate it for all concerned. RIP Darryl.

Very sad, and now there is a 13 month old child left to deal w this tragedy as well

Yeah, this is tragic. If there is a silver lining, a 13/14 month old kid doesn't have much, if any, recall, on the what if's which took place.

Lousy situation for all concerned.

Yeah looks it may be a "Pale Rider" type night for me. Don't even think I can watch the CWS tonight

You aren't going to support the U.S. in the womens WC?

Angels/Astros also play.

Watching women's sports is like watching men try to play them in a foot of water.

Soccer is the only one I'll watch (only the WC), except maybe sand volleyball.

The only thing worse than women's soccer is women's basketball, and I'm a huge soccer fan. But women's soccer is just awful. The touches are terrible, the passes are clumsy, and the strikes are in slow motion.

I know all of that. I've played soccer my whole life and still play indoor. I just enjoy watching some of the attractive girls try to win it for the U.S. I would prefer to watch the mens WC every day of the week.

Womens basketball and softball are the worst IMO.

Prefer track . Saw Wilma Rudolph win 50/100 meters in the Rome Olympics.

Now that is a piece of history, my friend

@JeffWilson_FWST: Jurickson Profar at Dr Pepper Ballpark tonight. Says he's throwing at 60 feet. Can tell a difference in shoulder after surgery. #Rangers

Was 1960 and one if not the biggest sports thrill of my life. That same day the men won 1st 2nd 3 rd in the shot put. Seeing three USA flags was a feeling I'll never forget.

Profar would be a nice upgrade at SS, if he can stay healthy.

 

[Justinkm83]

Perez has been good so far. 3 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO's.

No, I would never forget that. What an experience.

Velocity at 94

What good news.

 

[darrylgann]

What good news.

With Harrison, Perez, Holland, Hamilton, DDJ and Beltre - all perhaps within weeks of each other coming back, I'm looking forward to a pretty good second half.

I certainly agree with ya but that guy called Elvis is going to be a problem for awhile.

 

[Justinkm83]

Velocity at 94

Wow. I didn't see that. That's basically what he threw when fully healthy.

I hope we're winning when they get thrown back in there. It takes so much pressure off. Just like when Josh arrived this year.
