I was 1-1 yesterday. See if I can break the tie with a W.

 

Come on, Orlando! 1:05pm CT.

Besides his start against them this year, El Duque has had pretty good success against the Rangers with a low ERA. I think his start against them this year was just before he went on the DL. Anyway, after watching Brandon dominate with that changeup, I'm wondering if the Rangers are just a fastball hitting team that struggles against offspeed stuff. If so, El Duque should have a pretty good outing with the variety of offspeed and trick pitches he throws.

Game is on ESPN!!!

Isn't Loe a righty side-arm pitcher?

Curious...is that Fred Savage in your avatar?

We need this one today. It would be nice to end a rather s***ty month with a win.

El Duque.....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

 

RIP EMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to forget El Duque's last outing against Texas....think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts.

I hope we didn't score too many runs last night.

 

We need to give a few to El Duque.

 

 

Pitch your game, Orlando. That's all.

 

Let's get another much-needed W.

Not too impressive of a line-up. Maybe they'll pull a shocker and score a few runs. Definitely looks more like a playing-out-the-string line-up, than one of a team involved in a pennant race.

I'm sure Texas will be resting Tex, Blalock, Young, and Soriano.

Maybe Ozzie doesn't realize, but this division is still up for grabs. He is picking lineups like the Sox are up by 15 games with 20 left to play. Time for Oz to wake up. If Texas plays their regulars, the Sox are in big trouble.

:puke throwing darts at a board to get this one?? At least the hot hitting Rowand and Dye are in still.

Crap.. Brandon is going to start agaist Boston in the make up game.. Nothing like getting tossed to the wolves.

worst lineup ever. nothing like having nearly 1/2 of your lineup hittting under .240.

 

whats the over/under on Juan Uribe popups?

Crap.. Brandon is going to start agaist Boston in the make up game.. Nothing like getting tossed to the wolves. 

 

If he pitches like he did last night, he will do just as fine against that lineup. If you go position by position, Texas can almost stack up with Boston as far as lineups go, they just have zero pitching.

Why is this lineup thrown out there when they are on ESPN??

Can't wait until the Blum, Uribe, Harris, Timo inning.
