All I can say is WHEW.......glad this one is over and we got the "oh so valuable" W. HA

See ya later gents....thanks for hanging in.

If we make the postseason I really hope Banny makes the right decision this time about putting Colby in the rotation.

At least against the Jays. Dutch is useless against Jays

Colby should always be in the postseason rotation.

 

[Kelleyman]

Colby should always be in the postseason rotation.

All things equal definitely Colby has more poise. RHP Colby against Jays makes sense. They went against logic last year. He had a right to be ticked

 

[True Rangers Fan]

Well just.............fuck me naked!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you pick that phrase up? Because I say that frequently, but I've never heard anyone else say it

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Colby should always be in the postseason rotation.

I think Colby is a better pitcher this year. In fact he may be at his best right now. Sounded like he lost a lot of weight in the off season and came back ready to go. Maybe missing out on a start in the playoffs last year got his goat.

Hopefully he means to fuck him in such a way that his clothes come off in the process.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Tomorrow we will need the offense to shoulder most of the load to win. Probably 4-5 runs at least.

 

[True Rangers Fan]

I appear to have been a season early on my "Shawn Tolleson is not a closer" declaration.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I missed tonight's game too but looking at the box score we played a really good game minus Tolleson. He cannot be the closer any longer. That is ridiculous.

 

[RevSader]

Mariners blow their own save 3 run homer to Pujols.

Well, I do mind and fuck you for asking. ha ha ha ha...........Couldn't resist.

It was just one of those phrases which in my youth, expressed frustration, excitement, holy-crap moments, etc. which goes on in one's youth. Honestly kind of surprising to hear you say you've known/used this for sometime.

didn't mean so much.......just a self-effacing look at ourselves is all I guess.

Ironic how you picked the magic FIVE tonight.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Did we actually ever have a period of time that we did not have BP roles? I remember talking about it but not doing it but maybe I just do not remember it.

"Shawn Tolleson gets pulled with 2 outs in the 9th after walking Russell Martin on his 28th pitch of the inning. This is Tolleson's third blown save, one more than he had all of last year. It might be time for manager Jeff Banister to consider doing away with bullpen roles like he did for awhile last season."

 

[Nightcrawler]

Mariners blow their own save 3 run homer to Pujols.

Angels been helping us lately. Angels are much less of a threat with Richards going down.

 

[Senator_fan]

Any thoughts on Lohse? Chacin looked good for the Angels tonight.

 

[donaldson79]

One heck of a note......

Each of Tolleson's blown saves this season has come after starter Colby Lewis departed with a lead. The Rangers have had seven blown saves behind Lewis since the start of last season.

 

[romeo212000]

Banister better get his head out of his ass with this Tolleson as closer bull shit. I'm still pissed this morning about it.

 

[Bmurph]

Murphy?

I've pretty much told my age here many times, but I'm game for some guesses

I'm starting to doubt you are 29
