Rangers 2013 !!

[Nash B.]

Soto's a turd. I'm 52 years old, and I swear to God I could have scored on that ball that Moreland hit to the wall. It's a damn shame that a pro athlete can't run because of his jug ass. Wasted a damn good opportunity.

That's a long ass run from first base and he had to see the ball down before he could commit. At first it looked like it might've been caught. There was no reason why he should've been sent there with nobody out and 9-1-2 due up.

I saw it tailing to left field, and he could have had his fat ass STANDING on second when it came down, and still be able to get back to first. He can't scatter his own turds.

Damn good outing for Grimm again.

I didn't see the play happen, but I saw the result of it.

Soto singled.
Moreland doubled to deep left.
Soto tagged out at home.

I immediately wondered why in the fuck Gary Pettis sent him home. He had to have been out by a mile. That was all Pettis, not Soto.

The throw was dead on, and it was a close play. The tag was high on Soto as his feet were going over the plate. There's no reason he shouldn't have scored on that play. No matter.

It was actually mildly close, but he probably shouldn't have been sent. Elvis also shouldn't have gone on the ball that got past the 3B on the play he got thrown out on at home, but honestly, I'm not going to bitch about either play. Being aggressive on the basepaths is what made the Rangers good and it's what they got away from last year that hurt them. There's a definite line between aggressive and stupid, but I don't know that that line was crossed tonight.

Yep good post.

Pretty lousy and boring game today. On the plus side, Oakland keeps on losing to non-Astro teams.

[Lone Sailor]

Moreland. Lolol

[Geor!]

Plus side: back home after two disappointing road games to end the road trip and we're now a day closer until Colby comes back to shuffle Ogando off to the BP -- though he didn't have a horrible game today. Also, at least we beat teams who are not Houston, unlike the highly overrated Oakland, who keep losing.

Down side: Hitting with RISP is atrocious (reminds me of 2010), two lefties open the Chicago series, Kinsler has popped up in the infield more this road trip than all of last year, it seems. Murphy is hitting well below the Mendoza line for the first month and the streak of not losing consecutive games comes to an end.

At least those 2 games didn't ruin the whole trip. Any road trip above .500 (4-3) is a plus.


Oakland/Halos game went 19 innings last night. The former crackhead went 0-8 with 3 strikeouts and his team lost. BA dropped back down to .202. How much longer before Jesus helps him find his batting stroke?

0-8? Damn! I guess dropping that weight, getting "really fit", and playing in a "baseball town" isn't the magic potion. He's so fragile, he's probably hurt and doesn't want to tell anyone.

Yea, his vagina is probably infected with sand and cocaine

Jesus no help hit curveball. Bats are afraid. He should go to Jobu, ask him take fear from bats.

Perfect.
