Banny needs to answer that.

I'm already tired of his moves, or lack thereof. I am not impressed at all.

Mitch is out and Choo is broken...who else was gonna hit? Corpy? They have NOOOOOO one else on the roster.

I didn't realize Mitch was out.

I did harass Josh once at an Astros game. I went with a buddy of mine and we heckled him. It was honestly some of the most fun I've had at a baseball game. Some flamboyant guy told me "be niiiiiice." I think Josh actually hit a homer that day maybe even two.

One of the funniest moments I ever experienced at a game was back when Kapler was still playing with us. It was a day game and we were getting beat pretty bad so there wasn't a whole lot of folks left at the game. We were siting second level just past the third base dugout. There was a guy who was about half way between us and home plate who had Kapler's between pitch routine down to a tee. After every pitch he would yell "step out" and Gabe would step out right on cue. Then the guy would yell "swing" and Gabe would take a practice swing. Then the guy would yell "swing" again and Gabe would take a second practice swing. Then the guy would yell "step back in" and Gabe would step back in. All right on cue and it was silent enough that Gabe could hear him. Once Gabe would step back in the guy would yell, "don't swing". Gabe must have fouled off 7 or 8 pitches and this went on for about 5 minutes or longer. It was hilarious.

Not sure which is worse, the announcing duo of Buzz-TAG or the pathetic excuse for an offense the Rangers trot out every day. Two senile old coots rambling on about nonsense or 6 out of 9 hitters with below a .200 average? Tough call.

Yeah his elbow or something.

I'd like a mulligan on my 85 win prediction.

You think Rosie isn't broken? Yeah Corp is a better bet. Not good but better.

My only hope is that as bad as we're swinging the bats now, maybe we can all get hot at the same time too. Well, perhaps luke-warm anyway.

Really feel like Prince is going to show some power before it's all said and done. EA is really hitting the ball hard now, and surely Beltre is about due to come around. If MM can stay healthy - at least uninjured - he's swinging the bat pretty good too.

The way Buzz described the end and stumbled through wrap up...ugh that was really really bad.

He's really not...They are all awful options.

Vegas had us at 76.5, and that was before Holland got hurt. I took the under from the get-go.

I was much more concerned with the pitching, but knew we'd struggle at times to score. Just didn't expect this much of a struggle, I gotta admit.

They scored the 1 run again tonight, don't break the trend men.

That's a pretty accurate quote.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I picked up Happ for my fantasy team. I have several pitchers on the DL and figured he would pick up an easy win because Detwiler is on the mound. Can't believe the game ended up as close as it did.
