Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers 8/19-8/21

I'm going against the grain but Gentry needs to be in left field. He could do no worse than Murphy and likely better. Won't happen, enough said.

I will try and make a banner for you guys a little later... can it be an animated gif or does it need to be standard file like a png or jpg? I could probably make a pretty cool one with a lot of the players on it and a logo or something... the only thing is I'm confident anything I do will be copyright infringement but I guess as long no money is being made off of it, its OK.

I'll check. Never seen a gif banner, so it might be limited.

One thing about the 40 man for blackley I heard was sending Ross down to AAA.

Interesting. I would have guessed they would have DFA'd Rosales but it may be a good thing Ross is going down to AAA to work on his stuff.

Mine was jsut off a rumor blog somewhere, nothing official. I thought Rosales would be gone too, but Ross does need some rest and head-shrinking.

Agreed

Hope not... not really the time of year to short change the BP

agreed. Not sure what role Rosales has here anyways, with Profar and Baker already shoring up the backup spots in the IF.

 

[kdm1218]

Lets hope for some early runs. Sure helps take some pressure off SP and the offense as well

 

[RevSader]

Thanks KKerwin. Giving us strikes.

I think it's the latter. He sure has been great for us, many-many times over the past couple of years. But he's hit a wall for sure. Don't know what it is personally, but he's hit it for sure.

Did we just execute a hit and run two games in a row?

Sure did and perfect too

 

[RevSader]

How was Adrian not out?

 

[bradw516]

Haha Beltre, you're awesome.

Sending Ross to AAA doesn't clear a 40 man spot for Blackley, only a 25 man spot

Sending people to AAA does nothing to the 40 man for that matter, only options are DFAing someone or putting them on the 60 day DL

 

[RevSader]

So Texas was 0-Fer with RISP that inning, but plated two runs...Interesting.

Garza...

 

[Duane1952]

Come on Garza.

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Great job with the shut down inning Garza...give it right back...
