Series Thread: Late Start Series-Rangers at Oaktown Aug 20-22

[WastinSomeTime]

Combination of travel and a hot Oakland team has made this rather mundane. Off to bed.

I am thinking Palumbo starts Wednesday for Frisco. If that is the case he may get a total of 3 starts there. Or, they could just be shutting him down for the season.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing really. We have 5 games with Oakland left and I don’t mind losing them all.

Remember how the Astros treated us after hurricane harvey and tried to make us look bad in the media for not taking their shity deal.

I like the thought of forcing those asshats to burn Verlander or Cole in a scary wild card game then having them at a severe disadvantage in Fenway against the Red Sox if they make it.

Wednesday is FaceBook day game. Might it mean an Eph appearance to grace us with in game play by play. (Within reason) and sparkling commentary?

If I'm able to catch the game, then a commentary should definitely be expected.

See ya there.

Not me. I hate losing.

2020 maybe interesting if some of these young arms make it to Arlington that year.

Palumbo starts tomorrow for Frisco.

Perhaps the once proposed realignment is not such a bad thing.

I'm all for it actually......these Left Coast games beat our team/fans to death, and it's completely unneccessary IMO........At least make the divisions only a one hour difference, and I think, this is possible.

Here's another 'potential financial disaster' the Rangers managed to miss.

Chicago Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish will be shut down for the season as he recovers from a stress reaction in his right elbow that was revealed by an MRI on Monday.

"We do believe the stress reaction is what has been bugging him all the way back to the end of May," team president Theo Epstein said on a conference call with reporters.

All set to go on FB and intend to report highlights with my pardner in crime, Eph the amazing Guru. If we dirty our shorts beyond a quick change, may retire early.

I like the 4 division plan with 8 teams a piece due to the 2 team expansion. All winners get first round byes and 2 wild cards from each division. Of course that means there is a DH in all divisions. Some propose 8, 4 team divisions. I don't like that. Some flukes get in that way. Plus harder to keep up with all the divisions

Credit card required for FB?
