Lets give em a thrill.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) Oh it was hot. I imagine like hell hot. But what do you expect in Texas?!?! Only two things in Texas....

QUOTE (Steff @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 09:39 PM) Yes, and it's in my top 3 parks. A truly great place to see a ball game. OT, Jim and I stopped to Hooters for dinner and to watch some of the game. A guy, about 40ish, said "hey, is that Wade Boggs kid playing for the Rangers?" Not gonna complain about the heat?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) Apparently we should have started Carrasco today. Nice effort out of him. Never would of thought he would of lasted this long tonight. Bullpen owes him one.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 08:30 PM) If there's one idea which has been cemented in my mind from years of Sociology courses, it's winning the lottery will ruin your life unless you go to great lengths to hide your identity. Money changes everything -- particularly the relationship among family and friends. If I ever won a big lottery, which I probably never will since I don't play, I would never have my name released or make one of those appearances with the big check. I would probably tell my parents and sister after everything has settled down and help them out with some stuff, than live off interest and not go over board with it. I would tell my parents to keep it a secret if they could.

Carrasco is my pick to click.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) konerko is in pain. As bad as I've seen in a long, long, long time. ugleeeeee Konerko can't be in worse pain than I am watching him bat.

Good job by Carrasco to do some mop up.

A slide would of been nice.

We are so getting shut out.

OC, AJ, Q, Dye, Thome, PK, Swish, Crede, ARam

How come Brenly didn't bash Aramis for hot dogging on his HR today?

This whole thing annoys me. How is he "returning" when he hasn't actually missed a season? The Packers are going to look bad in this no matter what, but they need to move on. They drafted Rodgers in the 1st round a few years ago and the few times he played last year, he looked solid. He has been patient and paid his dues and deserves a shot and an opportunity.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) I hate fan club pre-sales. I tried to buy my wife Eddie Vedder tickets, but at 11:00 AM when the tickets "went on sale", there were a grand total of ZERO tickets available for either show. Oh well. Guess Janet Jackson tickets will have to do...... My cousin is a huge Pearl Jam fan and in the Ten Club. He gets tickets early everytime they get to St. Louis.

Basketball, baseball, softball, track, i n that order.

Rose and I have something in common. I was just diagnosed with knee tendinitis. Took me a couple of weeks to get over completely. A few days were pretty tough walking wise. I had a precautionary MRI. If it is not tendinitis, could be a meniscus tear or strain which is also no big deal. Simple arthroscopic surgery. Doctors are not going to confuse tendinitis with anything ACL or MCL wise.

Pitcher's hand out!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) Actually, if PK catches that, it's still 1-0, no one on, 2 outs in the 8th. Yup. Hawk made the same mistake saying it would of been 1-1 in the 9th.

Art Howe having the leading hitter in the league bunt with a guy on 2nd and no outs, and he pops it out. Hmmmm.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 09:17 PM) Josh Lewin and Darren Sutton are my two favorite play-by-play guys. I love Lewin. Not even his lisp bothers me.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 06:24 PM) Such a great game. Kick the Can was great too!!!! Still, nothing topped a good game of Capture the Flag (especially when you had a big area to hide the flag). I was a mastermind at "Capture the Flag". I was in FBLA in high school and my senior year, we had a big bonfire at this farm that had woods and there was just a lot of space. That year, we played capture the flag and had Seniors/Freshmen vs. Soph/Juniors. I picked this freshmen on our team, pulled him aside and told him a plan of mine. We were going to hide behind this shed and than he was going to sprint out to towards the other side with me "chasing him" as if he was on the other side. He would infiltrate the other side, find their flag, and bring it home for the W. Plan worked to perfection. As soon as I saw he had their flag, I crossed the line and created a distraction and we won. It was legend...wait for it...dary. Legendary!

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) Rangers and Angles are slugging it out in Texas right now. This game rules.

QUOTE (Hanky Panky @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:32 PM) Sorry if I missed it, but I am looking at the Yahoo box score... Did they not charge Konerko with an error? Can't assume the DP, even though it easily would have.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) We'll face Greinke again in the first game after the ASB. At home though where we rock everyone's world.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) I just never want to hear again that PK is good defensively. Swisher, in the last month, proved how awful PK really is. With Swish at 1st and BA/Wise in CF, we are SO much better defensively. The whole bottom of the 8th proved that.
