PrintListen live at 1:05. Here are your lineups. It's interesting and hilarious to see that many Texas starters taking the field against Jarrod Washburn. Also here's an article where Jon Papelbon compares Manny Ramirez to cancer. Whoever wrote that up missed a golden opportunity to make Jon Lester really uncomfortable.

Papelbon needs pants?
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Ricky Schroeder?
I’m sorry, “Rick”….?
the offseason sucks
Low class joke alert
better to be a clubhouse cancer than the guy in the clubhouse with cancer, amirite?
(I feel bad for thinking that one up)
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Michael Young at 3B
Is this likely to carry over to the regular season?
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Interesting
he’s a butcher with the glove at SS, but doesn’t he derive most of his offensive value from being a “SS”?
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Most years his defensive horribleness has wiped out his positional value and then some.
Last year he was only -2.6 defensively. He was actually worth twice as much as he got paid. Weird.

Holy shit you're right.
Last year was the first year of his contract extension though right?
It’s all downhill from here.
Griffey, per Drayer:
“Bedard doesn’t have a butt, you can believe me”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I don’t know why, but I seriously almost fell out of my seat laughing at that. Why? Couldn’t tell ya.
I love the commercials
if only because they help me hate Pedroia more and the response of the dude is awesome.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Also
at least Pedroia has some form of personality. Lincecum and virtual Lincecum have about the same level of personality.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Well if I was picking players I'd rather have on my team
then Lincecum would get the nod over Pedroia every day of the week.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I like how the latest post on Drayer's blog
refers to Aumont’s pitching against Pedroia… and the catcher called for a high inside fastball.

Randy Johnson made that commercial.
“He needs to put a towel on.”

You're just jealous that you wer're completely wrong about him not being the MVP
by JI on Mar 12, 2009 1:02 PM PDT up reply actions
That would have been so much better
had I whipped up a “Biased Curruth” screen name.
by JI on Mar 12, 2009 1:03 PM PDT up reply actions
Biased Carruth says...
You wouldn’t be so damn upset if it were a Mariner in that commercial. BIASED!
You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.
I think Angel fans already hijacked that one.
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!

Based on pitch F/X
Pedroia hit .281 on fastballs in the upper and inside third of the strikezone
I know everyone benefits from the Band Box at Arlington...
but how much do you think Kinsler benefits? I mean, Arlington has basically made Michael Young a household name, but I think Kinsler could flourish in any stadium.

Road numbers career
.259/.330/.422/.752
Home numbers career:
.321/.390/.525/.915
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
And that's a damn-near even split.
The Ballpark at Arlington: making superstars out of average players since 1994.
You're trying to kidnap what I've rightfully stolen.
Well no, but you can't take road splits solely as the guy's true talent level.
by JI on Mar 12, 2009 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions
I did think it interesting that he's player 186 road games and 185 games at home.
I don’t know why, but I did.

Better than Shea cranking out "Soulja Boy"
by Two Rs and Two Ls on Mar 12, 2009 2:02 PM PDT up reply actions
Soulja boy's not as bad as the Fox Sports Network theme for good catches in OF in Arlington.
And at least Shea lets the “Superman that ho!” line play, while Safeco censors it.

I really hope they bring this back for a third go-around.
It’s kind of a Safeco field staple at this point.

That doesn't take into account the road stadium's parks though.
I’m not saying Arlington doesn’t inflate his numbers, but home/road splits don’t paint the full picture.

Every Texas Rangers commercial
is about Josh Hamilton.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
They play him in Center field to keep him away from the white lines.
There are no good individual basketball statistics.

Hey have we done our player projections for this season yet???
I was at Shea for the Felix-Slam!
Personal M's record: 5-4.
Oh my
Rangers copying the Dodgers with all you can eat seats.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
There was an article on Slate last year
about what the experience is like.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Is it my imagination or does Washburn commit an above average number of throwing errors?

Rec'd
because I think it’s awesome, and funny, and I’ve never seen it before.
As a side note, it’s funny you can “unrec” things here. So Kevin, if you EVER piss me off, prepare to be unrec’d with fury.
It's pretty behind.

I think you misunderstand that this game isn't a 16 year old girl.

Get
Washburns pedophilic ass off the team. Now. Please.
Y'know...
I’m afraid I must have missed out on Jarrod Washburn’s…uh…paedophilia….? What?
the offseason sucks
Texas Rangers
built for speed, built for power, built for fun!
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
And I think Satan just bought his hockey skates.

Yeah, Rick Reilly broke the story during the Home Run Derby last year.
by Teej on Mar 12, 2009 2:42 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs
I was kidding.
He wouldn’t stop yelling about it while Hamilton was hitting all the homers. Pretty much 20 minutes of “Did you know he used to be a crackhead?!?”
I NEED TO GO WRITE UP AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS IN WHICH I USE THE STORY OF SOME POOR 16 YEAR OLD GIRL
TO DEMONSTRATE HOW COLD THE WORLD CAN BE UNTIL SPORTS INTERVENES.
Make sure there's a real villain in this story
perhaps the mean high school coach who cut the one-armed sixteen year old girl from the state champion varsity softball team

I thought it was A-rod deciding not to play for her team that cost her the arm

Mike Morse playing catcher? Or is this another Gameday glitch?
by shinallsrevenge on Mar 12, 2009 3:03 PM PDT reply actions
No, he's just hitting for Burke
so until he takes the field, he’s listed in Burke’s position.
Oh, Gameday specifically said that he was remaining in the game at catcher.

Unfortunately, no audio unless I want to broadcast it across a cafe.

Yeah, they still aren't changing it, there's no other C in the line-up....
didn’t Bloomquist do this one spring?
anyone know about those new photoshop skills the Rangers announcers are talking about?
I need to learn them so I can take pictures of my teenagers borrowing my Lexus.
SO now the M's are putting up much a fight I'm watching the new South Park episode...
You got slurved bitch.
All I could think about was Disney lawyers racing each other to come up with a lawsuit

I really prefer hear wild speculation on M's prospects
…but the Rangers got some good-looking kids on the field. Kids that nail Triunfel.
what they do in their spare time is no business of ours.

Lookout Leslie Nielsen, I'm coming for you

Leslie Nielsen is about the only other human being I could take in a fight
i’m a bad fighter.

I don't fight in the past
I only operate in the present day. 1970’s Nielsen would have broken me in half.

Dude, where's my economy?
You’re welcome.

Lookout Leslie would be terrible
