I can kind of believe that he called down to the bullpen and asked for Rzepczynski and Motte and the coach down there only heard him say Rzepczynski.  But I seriously doubt that after this mixup, he called BACK down to the pen and asked for Motte again, and the coach misheard him and started warming up Lynne.  Honestly, if you're in the bullpen, and the manager asks for someone to be warmed up and you screw it up, do you honestly think there's any way that it's going to happen again.  the manager is going to call back and include so much profanity and screaming that there will be NO question who he wants warming up.  It sure seems to me like LaRussa is trying to blame his poor management of the bullpen on loud fans.  Maybe once, but surely not twice in 5 minutes.

[quote name="football04" post="1093521" timestamp="1319513278"] Napoli has to be considered  for the series mvp if Texas wins this series [/quote] he's a no doubter right now... they flashed a graphic last night... he has 9 rbi for the series, and the rest of the team has 10, or something like that.  also, his 3-run HR 2 nights ago and his 2-run double last night were each the biggest hits of the game, and his 2 throws down to 2nd were huge as well. 

?  i shot the hog i posted pics of, but i don't bow hunt, so i probably won't go back to the lease until opening weekend.

that's pretty funny right there :)

If i'm not mistaken, i read that the rangers and cards have identical records since September 1st.

that's spam.  he placed it in his signature.  i'll get one of the admins to take care of it.

this thread made me go check... couldn't believe that this was lamar's 1st conference loss... great to see them at 4-1 in conference and 7-5-1 overall.  they've come a long way!

the rest of this week is going to be awesome!  highs in the low to mid 70's and lows in the 40s and 50s!

Rangers bullpen goes 8.1 innings, 4 hits, 2 walks, 8 Ks, no ER.  that gives them 13 innings in the series, 16 Ks, 2 walks, 5 hits, 0 ER so far.  the bullpen and nelson cruz are carrying this team on their back so far!

what a win for the rangers!

CJ looked great until the rain delay.  gave up a couple of runs in the 5 minutes between the two delays.  the bullpen for the rangers was amazing.  8 strikeouts, 0 walks, and 1 bunt single given up in 4 2/3 innings.  fantastic win for the rangers to get off of verlander.  they should have the advantage in every other starting pitching matchup, so to get that one was huge.

caught a cooler full of specks and nice sandies in about 3 hours last weekend on Taylor's.  My buddy went out the next day and caught 3 fish.

I'll say this... nobody in either league is playing better baseball right now than the rangers... winning 14 of 16 heading into the playoffs does a lot for your confidence.  they have an incredibly solid pitching staff, and possibly the most balanced offense in the league.  that being said, the rays are either going to be sky high after their amazing comeback(s) or emotionally drained.  they may be able to ride their momentum of the last week, even though boston gave it to them more than they actually earned it.

[quote name="basketball25" post="1068777" timestamp="1317296086"] No worse than what the yankees did!!!! Up 7-0 in 8th inning lol and u put in guys that are throwing beachballs over the plate!!! [/quote] the difference there being that had the red sox not blown their 9 game lead in less than a month, the yankees could've put out some of their players' kids and it wouldn't have mattered.

i agree.  pretty weak stuff.

i'm with you guys... i stayed glued to the TV.  of course, amidst all of this my rangers clinched the 2nd best record in the AL and got homefield for the first round :)

[/quote] Nothing wrong with gun hunting but when I have hunted with a gun, I am usually 75 or more yards from the deer. I love being 10 yards away a deer and watching every move that it makes as I try to get a draw on it while it doesn't see or hear any move that I make. [/quote] i'm thinking about putting a lean-to stand in the tree that's directly above my feeder and hunting with a cinderblock and a spear this year :)

anything can happen in the playoffs.  i'd love to see my rangers make it back to the WS.  they have the team to do it... arguably the most solid offense in the league, a solid rotation with a legit ace in wilson, and an improved bullpen from last year.

there's still room on the rangers bandwagon.  i've been a fan of them since i was 4 years old, so it's nice to see them finally fielding really good teams. 

i just started gun hunting a couple of years ago. i'm gonna wait until i get bored with that before i start bow hunting.

i want to go hunting with rip!  i use a 25-06, if that helps...  ;D
