Well BMAC good luck. Throw your change and two seamer and get some of those curves over for strikes and you will mow them down.

im i gettin a vibe that you think you are bmac, or am i just drunk and havent been on for so long that i have no understanding to what has been happening lately

haha sucks to be you

Uh, this is going to sound really stupid, but why are we looking for another starter for that game?

 

edit: Oh ok I see now.  It is a doubleheader so they want to retain the same number of off days for the other starters.  I guess it really was a stupid question

 

"There are no stupid questions, just stupid people."

Hey Brandon, Nice call on Haigwood a year and a half ago. He has been downright filthy this year! Now we all know why you were talking him up so much

 

Go get them next week!

good luck brandon....you get the change working and you will rack em up

Will both games be on TV?

Wow, no respect. The guy was actually in the room. :headshake

GOOD LUCK B-MAC!

Hey man, you all get here, we've got plenty of room.

 

PARTAY AT KAP'S HOUSE!

Better than talking behind his back.

 

Hey, Crede*, nice season, you are so clutch at the plate.

 

*for the record, I think Joe is a great infielder and I hope he patrols 3rd for many a season.

Chicagosports.com is reporting that B. McCarthy will likely start one of the games of a doubleheader in Texas.  Hopefully he does well, but I like the choice a lot more than Adkins, Munoz, or Diaz.

 

 

This will be the third time texas sees this guy. Once in spring training and now twice in texas. He will get tattooed. Unfortunately.

There was some talk in the papers this morning that a lefthander could pitch one of the doubleheader games, two guys were mentioned, Heath Phillips and Dan Haigwood, both in Birmingham.

 

Texas has all those lefthanded hitters, and neither of those two guys are on the 40 man.

Have we solved the mystery of the open 40 man roster spot?

 

Dah-Dah-----DAHHHHHHHHHHHH

I think he'll do just fine.

 

So when are you all coming to see me?

 

Looks like we're not the only ones throwing out a rookie;

 

Edison Volquez will be called up to start a game in Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

With rosters expanding on Thursday, Volquez might not be sent down after the game. The plan would likely be to use him as a reliever, but it's possible that he could land a rotation spot. He's one to watch. Aug. 28 - 9:56 pm et

Before 2005, the words "rookie pitcher starting against the White Sox" would have let me know my time would be better spent watching paint dry than watching our hitters look silly. Luckily it isn't the case anymore.

Looks like we're not the only ones throwing out a rookie;

And this on Volquez;

 

The Rangers are banking on their young pitching, and a scout offers this assessment of Double-A RHP Edison Volquez, who could be in the majors soon: "He has a very good arm. He's up to 97 mph. He pitches at 95. He kind of reminds me of Octavio Dotel a little bit. He has a real good change, a slider at 80 to 82. And he's not afraid to pitch inside." ...

And this on Volquez;

 

Sweet, if he pitches inside, we can get runs the only way we know how...the longball. If it said he's not afraid to pitch low and away garbage, I'd be scared.

Dammit. No one is coming to see me.

 

If we lose both ends of the twinbill and the Indians win ... I wonder if some Sox fans are gonna be jumping off buildings.

Yeah, it's going to be quite the meltdown on here if we lose both games. If we did lose 3 straight games to the Rangers facing the starting pitchers we have....the Sox deserve to have their lead diminish rapidly. The first game tomorrow is incredibly important. That would be a lot of pressure to put on McCarthy in the second game.

And this on Volquez;

 

Also Im pretty sure he pitched in the Futures game he might of even of been the starter cant remember. One of my friends is a die hard rangers fan and he is more excited about this kid than Danks and Diamond... Although I think if I remember right he does give up some HR's.

If its any reason for hope, he hasn't exactly dominated AA.
