unbelievable run for the rangers in the 2nd!  single by molina, fake bunt turns into double in the gap by lee, of all people, runners on 2nd and 3rd.  sac fly to mid center and bengie makes it home (thank good it wasn't a good throw).  lee moved to third with a nice slide.

22 pitches for lincecum through 1, 13 for lee.

nice play by kinsler to double up the runner on 2nd.  the giant's only hit was an excuse me swing on a busted bat... it looks like lee still has it after 8 days' rest.

unlucky for kinsler, he tagged that ball, but right to the 3rd baseman for a double play.  lincecum got REALLY lucky to get out of that inning only givng up a run.

what was lincecum doing?!!!  thanks, tim!  bases loaded, 1 out!

the annoucers said the ball vlad hit was going to center field, but he might have caught a break, because i think that ball might have been fielded by the 2nd baseman for an rbi groundout instead of an rbi single.

RBI single for Vlad off of Lincecum's leg!  1-0, rangers lead!

2nd and 3rd, 1 out.  we gotta get at LEAST 1 run here.

Bro you should see the the new student center @ ETBU. Gonna be really good for the kids. [/quote] every since i was in elementary school it seemed like whatever school i went to had a nice upgrade a few years after i left it :)

great start for the rangers!  a single and a hit, lincecum's pitch count is at 10, and he doesn't have an out yet.

2 1/2 minutes into the pregame and i'm already tired of listening to ozzie guillen.

Lee vs. Lincecum should be a heck of a matchup.

my stepdad is having a kidney removed in the morning, so i've asked him to see if they'll give him a piece of it.  i want to take it out there and see if i can catch anything off of it.  it'd be a hell of a story to be able to say that i caught a big bull red with part of his kidney :)

[quote name="beechnut" post="889135" timestamp="1288221649"] Bullets good luck to your stepdad thursday. Hope him the best and a speedy recovery. Question? Why did Bochy leave SD for SF? I like him and remember him as a Astro. [/quote] thanks!  he doesn't seem overly concerned... he had cancer on this kidney before, and they took out part of it.  they found some more, it's been about 8 years, so they figure they better just take the whole kidney to keep it from spreading.  since he's had a similar operation before, he's not too stressed about it, but it could be 6-8 weeks before he's able to get back to work (he's a carpenter).

i'd love for the rangers to re-sign him... they have a couple of billionaire owners now that seem to be willing to spend the money to get him back, the question being whether or not he wants to go play with his buddy CC Sabathia.

rangers have scored 59 runs this post season in 11 games against two of the best staffs in the AL.  Giants have scored 26 runs this post season in 10 games against two of the best staffs in the NL.  59-26.  i like that stat :). Giants have given up 24 runs in 10 games this post season. The Rangers have given up 32 runs in 11 games, against better lineups.  I can live with that as well.

not sure about the weather... y'all catch any trout?

interesting: while only 1 of espn.com's "experts" picked the rangers to even make the world series, 22 of the 28 are picking them to win it... i hope this isn't the kiss of death.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="888900" timestamp="1288202587"] Get those questions and comments posted. Show time is 6pm and the discussion segment should be around 7:15pm. [/quote] won't see you tonight.  WS game 1.

[quote name="westend1" post="879842" timestamp="1287434187"] Go anchor in about 20 ft of water off the outside of the Texas jetty and jig some Gulp minnows on bottom.  The bull reds are stacked in there like crazy.  Have to use steel leaders though.  The mackeral are thick too. [/quote] i think we're headed there monday.  how many did y'all catch?

i'm glad to see them lose. 

what's a celtic?  ;D

[quote name="beechnut" post="887932" timestamp="1288100498"] Lol not so sure about jumping on the train but American League baseball is pretty stout. Only reason I give the Giants a slim chance is bc of their pitching. You going to any of the games? I am going to check on tickets today. If they are not to crazy may try catch one. [/quote] i really wanted to go, but this is the worst possible timing for me.  My stepdad is having a kidney removed thursday, and my dad is coming into town to visit on saturday, so it would be pretty crappy of me to go to dallas while they're here :)

that would crack me up if this was the reason he decided not to go to the yanks, and it would be even funnier if he made it blatantly obvious why he wasn't going there.
