TE="romeo212000, post: 6548022, member: 1675"]Don't get me wrong. I'm not blaming everything on the guy. I'm just saying what we're seeing now is nothing new, and even though this lineup is nothing special, they're still underperforming in embarrassing fashion.[/QUOTE]

Anyone who doesn't recognize Choo is hitting over .200 points less than his previous 9 seasons before getting here, needs some rather serious math help.

But, I'm gonna have to give some credit here too. Elvis has been swinging the bat with authority over the past several weeks.

Lots of empty seats. Wonder why?

Lots of empty seats. Wonder why?

How rhetorical is that question?

 

[donaldson79]

I bet Banny gets tired of Emily's interviews

Who doesn't?

A buddy of mine from Memphis was down the other day and we watched a few innings, and she did an interview/report.

He looked at me, too seriously, and asked, "Has this lady been ill? She doesn't always look like this does she?"

 

[RevSader]

Stellar start to the night for the offense.

 

[donaldson79]

I supported the Rangers when they sucked in the early/mid 80's and I'll continue to do so.

Sure, it's more fun to go to a game when there's 35+ thousand, we're challenging for the division, and hope springs eternal for a WS.

But, I'll pay my few bucks, see a few games this season, just like most.

They're the only team I have. I'm all in.

 

[RevSader]

Roogie at least saw 8 pitches....

 

[romeo212000]

Roogie didn't have a chance on that pitch.

 

[RevSader]

It's all on you Wandy. Good luck getting them to score negative runs.

 

[RevSader]

I miss you Nelly...

 

[romeo212000]

Nelly is going to do to us what Napoli did to the Angels.

 

[Justinkm83]

That was one section over from where I am.

I feel like that's game already

 

[RevSader]

I don't fault him. I wanna see him hit 60 homers to shut up all the whiners that ragged on him for the PEDs bust.

 

[donaldson79]

What franchise in MLB is surprised when Nellie gets hot, he gets HOT? Certainly shouldn't be us.

So how come we keep throwing him hittable pitches?

We all do. What's really pathetic is we keep coming back for more.

 

[Windingmywatch]

I probably wasn't posting much, but I agree. I don't think it's the only reason they did it, but they were able to save some money on this year's payroll.

I'm sorry ... you think Magadan's salary for $400K +/- $50k or so is keeping him on the job?

Did he hit one off Colby? I know he hit one off Gallardo, Wandy, and Det.

I didn't make that claim at all. I was talking about Beltre taking 2 million less this year. Bennie was too at one point. I didn't think it was that hard to keep up.

 

[RevSader]

That ball was a huge hanger.

 

[Windingmywatch]

In two weeks me and three buddies are going to drive all the way down from Arkansas for a game at Arlington and a game at Frisco. One guy is a CLE fan. Maybe he gets a cab from Lewisville to watch CLE @ TEX and the other three of us go to two games at FRI.
