lol, the woman beater.

lol, I forgot about that




Rangers win 14-1, and LAA is up 3-0 in the 9th, so the top half of the West remains the same.


EDIT - LAA blows a 3 run lead in the ninth, and falls to Seattle 4-3.

In the Indians/Yankees game when Jeter was called out when he clearly beat out the throw to 1st had I think a huge impact on the game. It was mentioned for I believe the rest of the game lol.

Were the announcers complaining the entire game?


I fucking hate when announcers keep on an umpire the entire game. I can understand saying "I think he missed that call", and then move on with it, but I fucking hate when the announcers dwell on ONE questionable call for the entire game.


Rangers/Yanks series starts tomorrow at The Joke in the Bronx.

Joba looked fuckin' awesome yesterday. After he made that double play I totally jumped up like a little girl. 8 innings and 2 runs that's what we need from him...and there are talks of moving him back down for Wang, that would be a dumb thing to do i think. Sure he looks good in the Bullpen and Wang should stay there the Yank's rotation is solid.

And yes, they were talking about Jeter beating it out the entire game.

Joba "The Hut" Chamberlain= GOD

Oh yeah lol I laugh everytime the dumbass announcers talk about moving him down to be Mariano's trusty sidekick in the bullpen. Even throughout the masterpiece of a game that he pitched yesterday they were constantly "It's only a matter of time before Wang comes back into the rotation and blah blah blah." News flash He had a 35.50 ERA or something like that as a starter.And I do not think it will be much better if/when he comes back.

Just got back from the Jays game. Complete game for Halladay, and he struck out 14, as the Jays win 6-4. Really entertaining game.

Toronto bailed out the Rangers today. Hopefully the Rangers keep this 5 game lead into October, and deep into October :shifty:

LAST NIGHT...

Yankees: 12

Rangers: 3

Travis, you have some explaining to do!!!

 

[straight_edge76]

Damn Texiera was hit like 3 times yesterday...fucking pussies, didn't want to pitch to Tex.

Damn Texiera was hit like 3 times yesterday...fucking pussies, didn't want to pitch to Tex.

I'm kinda happy that they did that...after the way Tex acted after he left the Rangers. He talked about how he wanted to stay in Texas so much, then he and Boras fucked Texas over, forcing Texas to trade Tex to Atlanta...for some really great prospects (Andrus, Saltalamacchia, Harrison).


As for the Rangers/Yankees, every team has that one team they can't beat, and for the Rangers, it's the Yanks...and hopefully the Yanks pull another annual "October Choke Job" before they face Texas in the Playoffs.


I'd still rather have 1 WS with Texas than 30 with the Yanks, becuase a WS for the Yanks is like a waiter bringing you a burger, you paid for it

If A-Rod passes Michael Young at 3rd Base, that will be the biggest bullshit so far this year's voting (besides Hamilton being #2 no

 

[straight_edge76]

So because of the way he left the Rangers that gives them a right to try to hit Texiera? Love that southern logic.
