Rangers try to Progress to .500 ball in Cleveland.

May have missed an earlier post ... but I'm ready for Elvis to get tomorrow night off. Let Field play SS and Rosales 2d. Field had 61 chances without an error at SS for Round Rock before he came up. If you can't focus with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth with a one run lead ... you need a day or two off. He hasn't had one yet this year and has earned it.

He needs medication IMO, if I couldn't stay focused on my job at work, I would seek help

Mitch fucking sucks ass. I wish JD would throw him off the damn team. What the hell is that bastard still doing in the big leagues? I should buy tickets behind the Rangers dug out at globe life, drive up from San antonio, and give that bastard a piece of my mind. I'd make sure to get my money's worth before the ushers toss me out and I crack all of my ribs as I get tossed to the floor and I can't sue anybody because I was in violation of ball park policy.

Have another drink you moron troll.

I believe that one was total sarcasm at those of us telling him not to jump on the MM train now, so that he doesnt jinx him

SDP scores 3 in top of the 10th. I smell TEX at .500 and in 2nd place in the ALW.

I'll try and do my part to keep the team playing well. Even if it makes me look like a total ass and bad evaluator of talent.

I think every one of us has been a bad evaluator at some point in time. Probably multiple times.

These notes provided by Jamey Newberg this morning.

In 1996, AL MVP Juan Gonzalez was hitting .298/.352/.556 (.909 OPS) through 45 of his own games played.

In 1998, repeat AL MVP Gonzalez was hitting .314/.342/.580 (.921 OPS) through 45 games.

In 1999, AL MVP Ivan Rodriguez through 45 games: .324/.351/.551 (.902 OPS), with 80-grade defense.

In 2003, AL MVP Alex Rodriguez through 45 games: .301/.391/.568 (.959 OPS).

In 2010, AL MVP Josh Hamilton through 45 games: .287/.345/.519 (.865 OPS).

Prince Fielder may not win AL MVP this year, but through 45 games he’s hitting .371/.422/.597 (1.018 OPS). He has the best batting average in baseball, and the most RBI (38) in the American League.

He left Jeff Burroughs' numbers out like so many are wont to do with pre-90s Rangers so I will add them here.

In 1974, AL MVP Jeff Burroughs through 45 games: .322/.372/.590 (.962 OPS).

11 a.m. Game, Winding. Too damn early for a baseball game if you ask me.

You have that right. The ones that are able to watch, keep the rest of us updated.

Fraley mentioned this morning on the radio that when the Dodgers released Tolleson Clayton Kershaw told Fraley that that was the dumbest move his team had ever made. He was a big believer in Tolleson.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

DDJ, Choo, Fielder, Beltre, Hambone, Big Mitch, Elvis, Chirinos, Tommy F is the lineup for today.

 

[Windingmywatch]

So we've been equally bad at home then

OAK is 6-15 ... TEX is 6-13.
