Yes and congrats to you and Yankee fans. It was also the Yankees 10,000th win. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
We are way far ahead of Evan Grant figuring out post season rosters:) Maybe he is getting his stuff for articles here as well:)
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Just checked MLB.com. Looks like the Yanks-Balt game is postponed. So some more double header action for the Yanks. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Tonight: "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Weaver lifetime has a mid three to 4.00 ERA vs the Rangers during his career, Perez has done fairly well 2.50+ ERA in his limited exposure to the Angels. If these numbers hold true they should be able to lock up the division tonight and rest the key players for a couple of days... :) Looks like they've figured Josh can handle multiple days in a row in the OF, which I'm surprised to see but happy at the same time. I might end up eating my words when I said him coming back would be a disaster, as long as I can pour some Lizano over those words at least they will taste good... :) They just interviewed Tolly on MLB Tonight and he was wearing his American flag shorts that Naps bought for the whole team... LOL...
I wasn't really too worried about Choo cause he was injured quite a bit last year and figured he would get back to his old self, and boy has he... He hit right around .450 for the month of Sept, not bad at all but I still need to work with him a bit in the cages to get that up a bit higher... :) :) Adrian, well after the bad year he had last year, how old he was getting to be, got the injured hand and couldn't even hit an 85 MPH fastball early this year I thought he was pretty much done and said so... He must have seen what I said and went "I'm gonna show this turd I've got something left in the tank and deserve the money I get"... Well old man you did 29 RBIs in Sept convinced me, but don't get too comfortable Joey is knocking on the door... Pujols was the only one in the middle of the order who had any hits... So some more double header action for the Yanks. If Houston loses tonight it won't be necessary they make it up... The kid Perez pitched a gem. 1 ER. Bats could not help him other than Choo. Weaver has re-tooled since his series of injuries. He now pitches a curve ranging from 64mph to 84mph. You and I could tear apart those curves but the Rangers were off balance. Lost 2-1 with punk boy getting a lead off triple in the 9th off of Tolleson. Hey it happens. Choo played phenomenal tonight. Great defense too. Hope Colby can put this away tomorrow. Stros up large on the Snakes. Noon game tomorrow on national TV. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Done before last nights game... LOL http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:13795297 And another done when Dempster was there... Yes he did, good for him, this should give him and the team some confidence going into the playoffs. Was Weaver all over the place last night or corner nibbling, his pitch count was just about as many balls as strikes??? I'm going to Jungle Jim's (200,000 sq ft International Market) today so you'll have to post some updates so I can check in periodically and see how it's going... This weekend is the "Weekend of Fire" where you can try out some of their hundreds of different hot sauces. The place is pretty cool if you ever get up this way you should stop in and check the place out. They have all kinds of food and drink events along with regular cooking classes and they import products from all over the world... A couple of years ago they had a cheese event where they cut up a 7,000lb + block of Cheddar. That isn't the block they cut I imagine that one is only about 1,000 lbs but it shows just one of the displays inside the store... And they even have things to keep the smaller kids amused... And to keep the guys amused while the women are lost somewhere in the store shopping... :) Holland has Arnie down. LOL that was funny.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Looks great. Where is it? Game on. So far 6 pitches 2 outs. Slider looks good. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
8 pitches and Colby out of the 1st. K'd Calhoun and Trout.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Up 1-0. Josh hit a rocket out.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
1-1 going to 5th. Trout double and David Murphy bloop single tied the game. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Bottom of Angels order got to Lewis. He's out. 3-1 no outs runners on. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
5-1 Angels Chi Chi got a nice GBDP "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
5-3 now. Bases loaded no outs Beltre up
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Rangers tied it in the bottom 5th. Angels make it 6-5 in top 6th Bottom 6th first and third one out Mitch up "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Come on Mitch take him out... Food and sauces are good, so are the Buffalo Traces and coke!!! :) Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Choo bases loaded single opposite field drives in two. Rangers up 7-6. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
It's in Fairfield/Cincinnati, Ohio... Will send some pics later tonight or tomorrow... Go Rangers!!! Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Beltre again. Kela pitched through the middle of the order in the 7th no runs. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
10-6 Rangers Hammy and Odor went deep. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
No runs in top 8th Still 10-6 Rangers. Top 9th is top of the order for Angels. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
10-8 top 9th no outs. Tolly gave up back to back HRs to aybar and coholm Ohlendord now in. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
10-10 tie. Unbelievable we could not close this out.
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Rangers lose 11-10
"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
Complete choke ville today. Banister used a tired out closer who blew the lead last night. Now Kela will not be available tomorrow. Have no idea who will set up and who will close tomorrow. Basically they have Luke Jackson and Bass (where the heck has he been?) Possibly Nick Martinez but have to save him if Hamels cannot go 7. Quite a predicament. Angels not in any better shape either. Maybe Banny needs to go strategic. Start Martinez and use Jackson in long relief. Keep Hamels for division tie breaker. Having Gallardo starting a division tie breaker is not good news. Don't know. This is a hard for them to figure out. They are in the playoffs but won't get a break. Banister has to decide what game he wants to put the stake in the ground. Tomorrow or Monday tie breaker. We seem to not be able to beat the Angels so I say push Hamels to Monday. If the Snakes can bail us out great. Hamels starts game 1 of the ALDS. "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."---Romans 5:6
down to the wire. Puzzling move by Girardi splitting starters and bench players in both games . The results were predictable . The Yanks lost both. Now instead of resting today they need an all out effort against a Buck Showalter team that refuses to roll over and play dead for any team ,let alone the Yanks . Here are the relevant possibilities : If the Rangers and Astros win: • Texas (88-74) wins the AL West • Houston (87-75) earns an AL wild-card berth If the Rangers win and Astros lose: • Texas (88-74) wins the AL West • Houston (86-76) earns an AL wild-card berth If the Angels win and Astros lose: • Texas (88-74) wins the AL West • Houston (87-75) hosts LA Angels (87-75) on Monday for AL wild-card berth Houston owns a 10-9 head-to-head edge over LA Angels If the Angels win and Astros win: • Texas (87-75) hosts Houston (87-75) on Monday; winner is AL West champion, loser earns AL wild-card berth Texas owns a 13-6 head-to-head edge over Houston AL wild-card host: If the Yankees win: • NY Yankees (88-73) will host AL wild-card game Tuesday If the Yankees lose, Astros win and Rangers win: • Houston (87-74) will host NY Yankees (87-74) in AL wild-card game on Tuesday Houston owns a 4-3 head-to-head edge over NY Yankees If the Yankees lose, Astros win and Angels win: • NY Yankees (87-74) will host loser of Monday's AL West tiebreaker between Texas (87-74) and Houston (87-74) because loser will have 75 losses Worse scenario for the Yanks ,sitting around on Monday not knowing where they have to travel to play a wildcard game. Best scenario ....Wrap up homefield for the wildcard game and watch a play in game Monday. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Whatever you do ,save a lefty to start against the Yanks . The Yanks just can't beat them . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
And here come the Royals.
Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced … more true than truth itself—Irenaeus, Against Heresies
Sitting on the bench twiddling his thumbs, he's only pitched 3 times since the roster expanded. Sounds like Banny doesn't trust him to pitch in certain situations, which would be just about all of them I would have to say... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Sounds like you think he can beat Astros but not the Angels?? Last time he pitched against the Angels was 2008 so neither really knows the tendencies of the other... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
What does this stat tell you about yesterdays game? Either the Angels were so lucky they should admit it and want to replay the game or the Rangers don't deserve to be where they are cause they will just rollover and die in the playoffs or play in game... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
What message are you sending to the team if you decide to do this?? BTA he has already sent the message to certain members of the pen that he doesn't trust them to do their jobs, some of them haven't seen the mound in over a week... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
Thanks for sending all of the updates yesterday, but you could have kept that last one to yourself... :( Anyway we had fun and tried all different kinds of hot sauces, salsas, craft beers and hot jerky's. Hot sauces have come a long ways in the last 10 years I remember when they first came out it was all about the heat, flavor wasn't even considered. Now it's quite different some actually have a pretty decent flavor to go along with the heat. They didn't have every single item they carry in the store for trial, if they did we would still be there... I wouldn't be afraid to say they have over 1,000 different hot sauces in the store and over 100 salsas... The image only shows about 15% of what is there... Anyway one of the best things we tried was something new by this company... http://deceptionsalsa.com/ So new in fact they don't even have it on their website yet but it's Heat index #6 a bacon flavored salsa called "OINK"... Another item we found we liked was a rub from Spicy Greek and it's for Poultry... http://www.spicygreek.com/products If I didn't have a corned beef brisket laid out to be smoked today I would make up some chicken and use the Poultry rub on it... :) In fact I better get busy with it or it won't get done before midnight... Oh by the way something else I ran across recently was "Old Bay" flavored fries in the frozen food aisle. I didn't buy any of them I just decided to do them myself by using fresh cut/sliced fries and deep fried them then sprinkled on the Old Bay. Turned out pretty good... I have a substitute that I use for Old Bay cause I think it tastes better and it contains less salt, it's called Chesapeake Bay Seasoning. I buy it online from a place called the Spice House, prices are better and the spices are fresher than what you buy in the stores. You need to turn the wife on to them I think she would like them, I know your palette would!!! Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
hoping the Royals end up with the best record. Yanks were 3-4 against Royals compared to 6-13 against the Jays . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yes we live in interesting tie breaking times:)

However, comma, you and I need to go back to all those summer posts about letting Beltre go and dumping Choo's contract:) LOL, it worked out:) We have Choo for quite a few years. But next season is Beltre's last for his contract. He is a free agent starting in the 2007 off season.

Trout went 0'fer last night. CJ Cron? 0'fer too.
