PrintTexas Rangers at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 8, 2010 7:07 PM EDT
Normally I like to start off by telling some sort of a story about the day I have had or something or the sort, I was all set to tell you how I am firing up the BBQ for burgers and sausages because talking about the BBQ wedding yesterday got me craving BBQ again. But no. Cito had to go and ruin that. Look at this lineup...
This isn't playing for the future or playing for right now. I don't get it. I'm so glad we have one of our best pitchers going tonight to hold down the Rangers hitters... Oh wait.
I took some flak on the site last time I called Cito Oblivious, but you know what? I don't care anymore, This is horrible. I used to hate the end of the baseball season, but this time I am partly looking forward to it, knowing afterwards I won't have to worry about our manager pulling this every other game. And yes we may get a manager who is even worse, but I'll take my chances at this point.

Thank you again, Fox Southwest...
"You, sir, are addressing a man, who is in fact quiet... and yet, not quiet, if I may offer to you a riddle."
I'm confused with FSW here
I’m in Austin and sadly I get nothing but Astros games. Which isn’t very nice since I would like to see the Jays for once.
That's odd...
I’m in NW Arkansas and I get most, if not all, Rangers games.
"You, sir, are addressing a man, who is in fact quiet... and yet, not quiet, if I may offer to you a riddle."
Cito’s lineups make less and less sense every game………No Snider, No Arencibia (for like the tenth game in a row) He’s crazy……
Toronto Maple Leafs: Nowhere to go but up!
He's doing whatever he can to piss us off before he goes
HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THEM, I PRESS DOWN MAH GUNS!
Anyone know of a stream up somewhere?
Don’t see anything on atdhe yet, the the myp2p streamtorrent feed isn’t actually streaming the game.
They should have just started Ray
Scrabble should be embarrassed with himself and how he has pitched this year. When he’s not throwing meatballs he can’t hit the strike zone. Sadly Tallet might be better than him atm.
Rzepczynski
Hopefully isn’t Scrabble for Streak Killer. Here to him hopefully settling down. Why does Cito give pitchers so many chances, but batters he sits for 10 games if they anger him. Frustration mounting.
O'Reilly got tossed out of my parents bar. Off season training baby!

I`m sure this has been said but I just got in. How does putting McCoy in for Snider make sense? Seriously, Snider would improve our chances to win over McCoy and develop our potential big bat. I have nothing against McCoy, in fact I have a soft spot for him, but he shouldn`t start another game this year. Also, awesome to see Lind at first.
As a Toronto sports fan I proudly follow the lessons of lachrymology.
Just saw the line-up?
Can anyone tell me what contagious disease Snider has that he´s not playing today while Molina, McCoy and Hoffpauir are on the field?

The attendance looks absolutely pathetic tonight...
Are there even 10k people in the crowd?
at least for the press release

linf looks just fine for me at 1B
if prince fielder, ryan howard can play 1B then why cant lind
my reservation is
that I just haven’t seen him play there yet.
I see the poll results from today but is there a running total somewhere?
by Minor Leaguer on Sep 8, 2010 8:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Tom Cheek has 69% of the vote but only 259 total votes...
if just BBB people were voting he’d be well beyond that
I taped a portrait of Tom on the Frick award panel at the HoF two years ago.

Uniform nameplate
Looks like they didn’t cut out the little holes out of the “R” and “P” in RZEPCZYNSKI
I wonder what Buck and Pat think
knowing that the games on the normal sportsnet they are talking to half a million people and on these nights it’s more like 30,000
Tallet watch.

I like this one.
Works for today. I hope I go to the game when Snider and arencibia are both playing but if that ever happens it could be a sign of the apocalypse!!! God forbid you have 2 guys in your lineup who aren’t vets.

I'd rather not mention cito
I give him credit for playing Bautista last season and I like him.
I still have no clue what goes through his mind when he picks lineups bug I still like him
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 8:53 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Just tuning in. I thought when I was stupified by reading Carson’s article about the need to win that we would be using our key guys for the rest of the year. Didn’t realize McCoy, Hoffpauir, Molina, Mac, Tallet et Al, were part of our key guys.
Cito's funny, but no haha funny
He says he wants to put his best possible lineup out there against teams that are in a race, yet he plays McCoy and Hoffpauir in lieu of Snider. He also brings in Tallet probably more than any other reliever, while he’s been awful this year.
this is an interesting thwip

Jays PR staff hand out ballot to writers to pick minor-league all-stars. List of relievers omits Accardo. Several of us writing him in.
I'd put him in

I think it was on MLB Trade Rumors that I read
that they do have him for one more season. he is out of options though, from what I understand.
They still have two arbitration years on him I think

what happened to the INNINGS EATER??

How often does he play in the outfield?
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 9:16 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Oh yeah
I thought he’d been playing 3rd.
I’m not watching the game. :(
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 9:18 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
is on Atdhe.net
but not a fun one to watch so far. I like McCoy, I think he’d be a good utility player….25 man
I like him but he's played more than a utility player should
When you’ve got future stars on the bench.
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 9:23 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I didn't knoiw the Yankees had a swtich pitcher in AA
Trenton just brought in Pat Venditte to face the Fisher Cats. Adam Calderone up, Hechavarria and Cooper at 2nd and 1st. 2 out, top 8.
I swear looked at molina's stats
And it says that all his HRs are off RHP so I’m like cmon! And he hits one :)
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 9:26 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
Were down by 4 and we PH
Fred Lewis!!!!
What
by Nadia on Sep 8, 2010 9:29 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I didn't really understand
As the Rangers brought in a Lefty pitcher.
That said, maybe they wanted to get Lewis an AB as he has been hurt as of late.
Thank god for sportsnet one
I didn’t have to watch this,
Just followed the score on my phone.
