So the Mariners move up King Felix to face us on Sunday. What's that all about?

Just want him to get another loss in Texas.

This is the same idiot manager who decided to rest King Felix against the Astros and then pitch him against the Rangers.

Damn...why is no one talking about David Price as potential Cy Young? I just looked at the dude's numbers and wowsers. He's gotta edge out Dallas one would think.

And I love that our boy Colby is tied for 2nd in the AL with 16 wins...pitcher wins are so silly.

Butthurt.

Seriously, what was Choo's problem earlier in the year?

Something something something...trying to live up to the contract... something something soemthing...

Something along those lines.

Wonder if these moves are made at King Felix's request. Rangers have typically had their way against him so maybe he wants to face us every time both teams face off.

Bout time we get back to beating his ass.

Really. In his last 9 starts his 2 best games were against us. He is hittable as he has struggled some in the other 7. You have to lay off his stuff out of the strike zone as he tries to get you to chase those breaking balls. Glad we are missing Iwakuma though.

New one up

 

[scotsman1948]

man that was harking back a few years ago when the "NA-PO-LI" chant started last night the stadium was rocking with it.

So it looks like we will roll with this one for the next series vs the Stros.

Lets go win this division!

This can't make anyone feel great, but we can hope Yovani gets himself turned around.

Gallardo will start the opener. For the second consecutive season, he is not Mr. September.

Gallardo went 0-4 with a 5.06 ERA for five starts in the final month last season as Milwaukee slid out of playoff contention. He is 1-2 with a 5.49 ERA for four starts this month.

After reading Fraley's article you would think Texas is down 3.5 coming into Houston...what a real joy that guy can be.

Fraley is an absolute beating. I don't know why anyone reads him.

I do trust that Elvia has really changed for the better. Less wash in the head bunters approach

 

[RevSader]

So few months ago we had a lot of doubts about Jeff Banister. He did things I didn't like, but I wanted to wait him out and see what he was made of.

Anyone missing Bogar now?
