Texas Rangers vs. Chicago White Sox 8/23-8/25

Bob Melvin was very frustrated in his interview, but they have to come to earth sometime. They rate and way they've been winning for their talent level simply isn't sustainable. Hopefully the self-correction continues.

It is very possible that teams have now just figured out their rotation. They were nobodys last year except for Colon.

Watch great baseball movies Get the boys to the batting cages all off season to get them ready for next season.

I wonder if Time Warner has any Dominican league packages

Speaking of good baseball movies, I grew up with the Mick and his story would make a great movie. Romeo would be please'd to know the Mick was a Commerce Okla boy if he doesn't already.

There's a statue of him in downtown okc at the red hawks ballpark.

We've been the most injured team all year. Well, the rangers and the Yankees. I don't want their guys to be on crutches for life or anything. I just want the depth of their organization tested like ours was.

The depth of the organization won't be tested by injuries. It will be by GUTS and our team will take em' to the cleaners. From the FO to the bat boy this team is made out of good dirt and the A's can't match that.

I used to read all about him. Dizzy Dean once said, The Mick is the only player to look good k'ing out". To my knowledge he introduced the drag bunt due to his speed. Not many faster in his playing prime.

Good to see the injury bug finally hitting that team. We've been suffering all year, while they were immune for the most part....

Not really. This will be the second time Reddick has been on the DL this season, Cesp, Colon, Jaso, Crisp have all spent time on the DL. Parker has missed a few starts, and Anderson has been on the 15 and 60 day DL.

...and maybe those patient hitters are pressing now.

For the first time they're feeling some pressure it seems.

Then how do you survive the offseason? Watch winter league? Lol

Go check our threads ... this board remains active all winter. There is plenty to talk about.

One day I'd like to go down to spend a week at winter ball. Back in 2008 I attended a Frisco game with the Venezuelan League Leones del Caracas team GM who I had met on a business trip to Venezuela. He was in the metroplex checking on a couple of their guys who were playing for Frisco and San Antonio who was Frisco's opponent that night. Can't remember who the Frisco outfielder was ... but the pitcher he especially wanted to check on was Frisco's #1 SP ... Armando Galarraga. After a couple of of his trips to Texas and one other business trip I had to VZ ... he invited me to spend a week at winter ball. Work got in the way two years in a row and I couldn't take him up on his invite.

Watching winter ball (which doesn't last all winter anyway) would be a cool time.

I hope the team got rested and re-focused. They are gonna need it tomorrow against Sale. I checked and Chicago is playing at Kansas City in extra innings. Our pitchers shouldn't struggle with their lineup, they have scored less runs than the Astros...

The nice thing about how our team is constructed is the pitching will almost always keep us in the game.
