PrintThis isn't my job, so don't blame me for not coming up with a better title.
We'll see if the Braves can carry their momentum from Texas to Colorado as Hudson (7-4, 2.76 ERA) faces Padilla (8-3, 3.89 ERA) in Arlington. Of course, the big story is Teixeira's first game back in this stadium after being traded to Atlanta last season. This Texas team lost 2 of 3 to the Mets last weekend, so it is important we have a good series to make up some ground on the Phillies.

Well, I can control myself...
but I don’t know if I can stop everyone else.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I know you have
the Rangers feed, but my PTV feed seems a bit “jitzy” too.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Having a pretty good day, thanks
Work was easy today, and Pujolina’s doctor’s appointment went well. No DL for her!
i’ve done nothing today in preparation for doing nothing every day for the rest of the week. awesome.
So...
They boo Teixeira? Because he was traded for a shit-load of good players? And he reportedly didn’t sign a long-term deal?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Think so?
I don’t know. I was kinda glad we traded him, because I got tired of hearing the same thing every game “Saltalamacchia, how do they get all those letters on his back? He has the record for the longest name. Blah Blah Blah….”
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I hope he is
the next big thing.
Question, he only play LF or does he have the range for CF?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
what if
frenchy is your 3rd OF? Right now, I’d almost rather have only 8 players so Chipper gets more ABs than have FYF batting.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
looking at some Richmond numbers, and I’m laughing.
B. LAWRENCE: 8.10, 2.10, 4 K
C. RESOP: 2.70, 2.10, 11 K
J. JULIO: 4.50, 2.00, 1 K
C. JAMES: 1.18, 1.08, 28 K
what was that they just did right there?
The runner took off and the batter hit the ball? what do you call that play? Is it an AL thing? I never see the Braves do anything like that…
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I go to change a diaper and look what happens
At least it was Hamilton, I have a lot of respect for that guy
sooooooooooooooooooooo
apparently you can knock down throws now.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
hey the best thing to happen all evening...
Lizziebeth is here!
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Hey folks
What did that play at 2nd look like? Clear case of interference?
I mean, he throw up his hands and hit it
and it didn’t look like he could touch the bag. I’m biased, but I thought interference.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
i’d say so. kinsler didn’t even touch second base, he was that far out of the baseline. but the rangers announcers were harping on the “DURRRR HE DIDNT COME CLOSE TO HITTING THE BALL WITH HIS HANDS!” morons
what I mean
was it looked like the ball changed paths. As if it’s course was changed by something…helmet, hand, etc…
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
McCann
could not throw out Laird, the Catcher?
and Hudson could not keep him from going?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
career ERA+ of 111. only 30 games above .500 for his career. never won a cy young award. only has as many strikeouts as he does because he played 27 fucking seasons
7 no hitters
12 one hitters
18 two hitters
and he played 27 fucking seasons!
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
What happened? I ran into the other room to see on tv, but by the time the picture came on, they were past it…
If I read tomorrow that he is...
I, well, will refer to my signature.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
well I'm not sure.
I didn’t pay attention, had to change the laundry.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Yes
and I agree. Heard it earlier too. Some construction guy set one off next to my ear last year. Not happy.
However, they can give it to me for when I’m driving – I’ll put it out the sunroof before blasting it.
the radio is much quicker than TV
and you are quick on the trigger!
But yes, just missed it.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
ask our holy Pujols
and perhaps it shall be so.
Gonzalez is with the team tonight.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
anybody watching PTV?
Can you see the huge blue blob in the stands? Good grief, how do you let yourself go like that?
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
welp
sorry if I offended…
this guy looked like 600, i’m not kidding.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Oh no...
not offended here. My buddy makes more jokes about his weight than anybody. I’ve tried to help, but he refuses to eat any vegetable whatsoever…
sort of like rallies.
I wish we’d get one late, rather than never.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
did anybody doubt it?
Anything that flies that far ought to have a stewardess on it.

Red Sox-Phillies
3-0 final. If we could pull out a win, that’s be huge.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
I mean, I'm sure
it doesn’t really affect the hitter, but it is bush league.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
and they really
need to cut it out. I assume its a fan, but it almost sounds like its over the PA.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Still
They better get on their knees and thank Pujols tonight that I wasn’t sitting near them. Merciless beating.
not that it makes me feel any better.
but for royhobbs, there’s always tomorrow.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
Not on EI tonight
Go figure. Losing sucks. But at least the Phils already did, the Marlins are too and if anybody cares, so are the Mets. I’ve been watching that game and they look even more lost than usual. Poor Willie…
how did i miss this???
i cant believe i missed this impromptu post. I couldnt find it last ngiht or something. DAMN!!!!! Looks like it was a good one too, plus I would have had someoen to share the rolaids with after Mac made things interesting.
Just a heads up
Somebody else will have to make sure there is an open-thread tonight. I can’t be here to cover for gondeee while he’s on his quest to visit the MD 50/50 winery.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
well crap.
I screwed that up. I see that I put 50/50 but it is actually MD 20/20. Sorry gondeee for misrepresenting the Mad Dog.
Go on, ask if anything surprises me.
