FREE KRAUT! 
It’s Hit!
I’m calling HR here.
A “scout” beat you to it on Slusser’s blog.
Eh, I was calling it for Cust-o-Fab.
Smarter than the scout.
I’m calling Holliday’s first HR for … June.
… for, uh, June Javits of Rapid City, South Dakota! Congratulations, June!
Why would a scout say that, and why is it worth reporting?
So if Holliday fails to hit a home run today, that settles the stats vs scouts debate.
lol please don’t hit a homer for the sake of the debate.
Scouts are now on the level of people spamming “HR here” in ** game threads…
The scout seems to have won this round of the roundtable.
FTL
Chavez a late scratch, apparently.
literally not-healthy-enough
Landon Powell at 1B, I guess.
Super.
Injured his elbow pulling himself up out of the dugout to the on-deck circle.
I can’t tell if you are kidding. LOL
Those bags of sunflower seeds are really hard to open.
Chavez not only broke himself, he broke gameday.
Three things I will never believe in: Ashton Kutcher “actor”, the dark lord Xenu, and Eric Chavez’s arms.
One thing I will never understand: nerd hate for Ashton Kutcher. Have you ever seen him on Letterman? He’s a total geek — in the best possible way.
Hmm I have not. Although I’d freely admit my bias against him is a result of him being in some of my least favorite movies of all time, and being my least favorite character in “that 70’s show”
I’m not sure I’ve seen him in any movies.
But he uses Twitter.
Is that your criterion?
Color me disappointed that this is what constitutes a SMUT Force.
Crosby flashing some leather at 3B.
I can only interpret that to mean that in addition to Chavez, Crosby was a late scratch as well, and Beane recruited some random guy from Folsom Street to play third — and who is now being sexually harassed by Crosby from all the way across the diamond in the dugout.
Impromptu, experimental navel gazing. Flash photos of his belt.
DirectTV blackout, apparently.
I’m confused by the title of this thread
The game started already?
Blackout?
****.
I hate the contact play.
Rough call on Buck.
Honestly, I don’t have the slightest idea. Arm. He has an arm problem.
What a joke.
Slusser is hilarious.
I think “Jennifer” is actually a Slusser sock puppet.
Did Chavez hit Saltalamacchia on the head with his arm and break both of them?
Saltalamacchia left the game with vision issues?
Did something actually happen on the field, or did he just suddenly notice something was wrong with his eyesight in the middle of the game?
Now catching for the Rangers, Arthur Koestler.
Oh, no — the IBB to load the bases (with a pitcher who’s been throwing balls all day). No doubt Geren is now going to play the IF in.
Nice job by Braden, that was A’s-level fail by the Rangers offense.
indeed
Thanks for missing Zook’s double, Texas TV. Oh, and Andruw hilaripusly running into the wall.
Buck tries a sac bunt and fouls it into the stands on the fly. Yikes.
Productive out!
is a hilaripus an even funnier-looking platypus?
Platypuberty breakout.
Good something or another, folks. Glad to see y’all are still alive.
I figure it’s only coincidence that my post on ** not being what it was anymore on ** coincided with the first day of this thing existing. Strange at best.
Now pardon me, I have seven papers to finish in the next two weeks. I’ll see y’all around.
Since my comment has been awaiting moderation for half an hour, here is where I reply to my comment awaiting moderation and see if there will be two comments awaiting moderation. Or maybe wordpress won’t let me reply to a comment which doesn’t technically actually exist yet?
Gawd, it’s beyond agonizing listening to Ray Fosse play by play on the radio.
Really, Eddie Guardado is the guy the Rangers rely on in situations like this?
Steady Eddie throws a fit, gets tossed on his way to the dugout after he’s already been pulled.
And he threw his hat! Better than a chair, I guess.
who says walks can’t be entertaining?
Certainly not John Cleese:
Were any of those pitches close? The Rangers radio guys are not sure what Guardado is complaining about.
What a nice thing to greet me as I come out of a meeting.
That 1-0 pitch is supposed to be the kind of pitch that Holliday murders.
Giambino in to PH.
This game sounds effed up.
Springer’s getting squeezed hard according to gameday.
Swooney!
He T-Longed your ass!
xbx: we need a .gif of that play.
Score one for Slusser’s scout.
That was awesome. I just screamed “motherfucker!” All my officemates think I’m insane.
OMG Scouts WIN!!!
{defenestrates computer}
Dropping in from work to say:
WHAT THE WHAT
HOLLIDAY HOMERED?!?!?!
[insert .gif of ORLY baby]
*sigh* and even after all that the A’s only have 9 home runs while Texas has….40?
Dang it, now I can’t focus at all. If a Holliday homers in Texas and nobody sees it, did it really happen?
Well I didn’t see it, so I vote no.
Stupid MLB blackouts…
Holliday is FTH.
haha
Jesus, what terrible baserunning. Almost like he’s an A.
Win!
But I don’t like this whole Andruw Jones no longer being terrible thing.
According to ESPN: “M Young out stretching at third.” Mmkay.
VICTORY CABBAGE!!!
LE CHOU DE VICTOIRE!!!
Le Choucroute de Triomphe.
MLB has the Holliday and Jones homers up as video clips already but I can’t find one of Sweeney’s play…lame.
What did Sweeney do?
Took a 3 run homer away from Kinsler. From the sounds of things, it was T-long – Manny esque.
Awesome!
Except Sweeney grabbed it over the big boy wall, as opposed to the midget wall in RF at Fenway.
QOTM. (Do we do those here? Ah, whatever.)
we will soon!
Define “we.”
front page has it now
Also, did I hear on the radio earlier that Ziggy has “flu symptoms”?
Swine flu, anyone? I wouldn’t be surprised.
H2N3 virus
Great, the rest of the team can get it on the flight to Seattle.
They might improve if they all go home for a month. Hell Chavey, Nomar, Devine, and Duke were already on that plan.
