    Hi Cathy! I think we’re the only ones in here so far.

  4. 2008 August 14 at 7:24 pm

    Are not.

    Please do not start walking people, Dice!

    Dice already had 1 walk. But thankfull Kinsler was erased by Tek.

    Ugh. Nothing is more frustrating than Dice-k pitching! 3 walks in 1 2/3 innings!

    I’m really glad that the Rangers have mediocre pitching.

    And that our guys have decided to start scoring runs…in succession.

    PEDIE!

  14. 2008 August 14 at 7:54 pm

    This is just silly. In a good way.

  15. 2008 August 14 at 7:56 pm

    And Papi just made it ridiculous.

    PAPI!

    I almost feel sorry for the Rangers’ pitching. Almost.

    Disturbing but true stat of the day–Lowrie now needs just 3 RBI’s to match Tek’s total for the year.

    I missed the first inning and a half and I turn on to mlb.tv to a 8-0 lead. I’m speechless.

    It’s awfully quiet here, tonight.

    I finally got home and turned the computer on and found 9-0, Mac. I was just as speechless. Had to sit down and read the plays on Gameday so I could comprehend what in the world happened (in a good way, of course).

  23. 2008 August 14 at 8:23 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    Yeah, Cathy, it is. I have a good excuse — worked late, but as for the others? No clue.

  24. 2008 August 14 at 8:25 pm

    I thought I’d try something new: not commenting unless I have something to say.

    I don’t like it much. Expect the drivel to continue.

  25. 2008 August 14 at 8:28 pm
    lone1c permalink

    Well, as for me, I’m trying to avoid commenting too much because I’m frakkin’ pissed at finding out that the Rangers have blocked my viewing the game from 417 miles away–in spite of the fact that none of the cable stations in a 150-mile radius carry their games. . . .

    I see that Texas has both of its long Italian names in action tonight. I have no problem remembering Saltalamacchia, but I work with someone named Coladonato, so I get mixed up and tongue tied with Catalanotto.

    fc, drivel on. I sure am, after spending yet another day in “solitary confinement” in a room full of cubicles (long story). Now that I’m here, I feel like I just got out of prison!

    lone1c, that sucks about the blackout. Ridiculous!

  28. 2008 August 14 at 8:32 pm

    417 miles from Arlington, TX, lone1c? Where are you?

  29. 2008 August 14 at 8:34 pm
    lone1c permalink

    Carlsbad, NM. (Yeah, it’s in the middle of nowhere. The nearest larger town–75 miles away–is Roswell. Yes, that Roswell.

    That was a nice inning by Dice. No walks.

    As in Carlsbad Caverns, lone1c?

  32. 2008 August 14 at 8:40 pm

    I think lone1 has been abducted by aliens.

    One and the same, ecl.

    Jeddy Ballgame!

  35. 2008 August 14 at 8:43 pm

    Take that, Lowrie heckler!
    (A guy in the stands was yelling “Hey, Lowrie, SIDDOWN!!)

    And Jed continues to be awesome.

  37. 2008 August 14 at 8:43 pm

    Comparisons to Ted Williams may be a wee bit premature.

  38. 2008 August 14 at 8:43 pm

    Haven’t been abducted–unfortunately, I do have to run off to rehearsal now, and tomorrow I leave for an extended trip, so I’ll see you guys in a while.

    Go Jed!

    HA! to both fc and Cathy…

    lone1c — have heard of it many times but have never been there or anywhere in that part of the country.

  40. 2008 August 14 at 8:45 pm
    Cathy permalink

    I was joking, fc. I know he’s nowhere near, and will probably never be near, Ted Williams.

  41. 2008 August 14 at 8:52 pm

    Julian Tavarez is pitching right now for the Braves, against the Cubs.

  42. 2008 August 14 at 8:52 pm

    Nice play, Pedie!

    And I’m sorry if that post came out as sounding a bit snotty.

    Hey guys, just turned on mlbtv – my god 9-0. It’s getting to the point where I almost feel bad for Ranger pitching.

    And then I remember the first game of the series.

  44. 2008 August 14 at 8:58 pm
    Bethie permalink

    Weird to see Tavarez coming in to relieve Tom Glavine.

    Jacoby!!

  46. 2008 August 14 at 9:06 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    I’m fried and spaced out…is there some reason why Jacoby replaced JD? Not that I mind, of course…

  47. 2008 August 14 at 9:08 pm

    I missed that too. Is JD hurt? He’s very fragile you know.

  48. 2008 August 14 at 9:08 pm
    Mac permalink

    ecl, I was wondering that myself.

  49. 2008 August 14 at 9:11 pm

    I didn’t hear them say anything, so I’m hoping Francona just wanted to give Drew the rest of the night off.

  50. 2008 August 14 at 9:12 pm
    ecl1958 permalink

    I wasn’t paying attention…but based on when Jacoby came in, I’m wondering if JD pulled something while making the third out of the previous inning.
