Scoreboard watching while we impatiently wait for the last game of the day.

Tigers lead the Yanks 3-1 in the top of 2nd. Tigers starter has left with shoulder problems, and Durbin's now in.

Curtis Granderson led off the game with an Ichiro-like inside-the-park home run.  The guy is pretty relentless, however much of a pest to the M's he's been.  He also happens to be a real likable guy, so I'm actually happy to see him have a breakout season this year.

What's with the late start time today in texas?
Kind of strange to start a game 30 minutes after the sunday night game.

That Granderson home run was awesome, Damon has fallen pretty hard defensively in the last couple years.

Texas almost always plays games at night
During the summer, since it's so damn hot during the day there.

Late start: obvious MLB knows what the most...
...exciting, important game being played today is.  And they want to build the suspense.

SRSLY, I have no idea why it's so late.

If we win today then yesterday is forgotton
in my mind. Offense needs to step up though, 7 runs over the last 2 in Texas is not going to cut it.

when was the last time the Ms
were a Fox Saturday or ESPN game?

by Matthew on Aug 26, 2007 10:52 AM PDT   0 recs

is a Fox Saturday vs. NYY during that crazy series with the 15-11 or so victory after being down 10-7 or whatever the numbers were.

Those guys put down Felix so much that I'm actively rooting for Hughes to flame out.

Curtis Granderson
My favorite non-mariner player.

Granderson
is one of the handful of players that I would trade Adam Jones for.

Love him.

Who would you rather have: T. Jones or B. Wickman?
In the "fat white guy washed-up reliever" sweepstakes, which is preferable?

Hey guys
I can't believe the Astros just up and retired Jeff Bagwell's number, given the reason no one's in a hurry to retire Edgar's is because he's not a HOFer.

by Gomez on Aug 26, 2007 1:23 PM PDT   0 recs

I'd be shocked if Edgar's number isn't retired
the minute he becomes HOF eligible, whether he makes it or not.

by sammy on Aug 26, 2007 2:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

If Bagwell doesn't make the HOF...
...then I spit on the voters.  Big hockin' loogies in their faces.  Bagwell and Biggio are both obvious HOF'ers, and anyone who thinks otherwise simply hasn't looked at their careers up close.

Edgar's a tougher case, and I think he falls on the line non-HOF line in terms of statistical merit, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing him make it anyway.

Well there is a bright side
Atleast we won't face Escobar

OT: Jesus, the White Sox suck.
That or the Red Sox are good. Or both:

Scores of the last 4 BOS-CWS Games (last one in progress):

11-3
10-1
14-2
10-1

So, that's 45-7. Ouch.

by Gomez on Aug 26, 2007 2:58 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

He's league-average.
It's not like Zaun is a black hole or anything.

by Jeff on Aug 26, 2007 3:09 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Sure
People are just pissed off that Zaun blew 2 run scoring chances and made an error that gave the Angels a run.

His 696 OPS is 9th among everyday AL catchers
if you don't count whoever's the starting catcher in Oakland.
