July 1st vs. Texas

[riverside sluggers]

9 pitch inning for Loe. At 92 pitches, he should be good to go 7... setting up Otsuka and Gagne

9 pitch inning for Loe. At 92 pitches' date=' he should be good to go 7... setting up Otsuka and Gagne[/quote']One of the few strengths of the Rangers

[a700hitter]

They bring in the lefty to face Cora and Ellsbury and still no pinch hitter. Does Tito know that he has two RH hitters on the bench that are better than these guys?

[CrespoBlows]

Has Ellsbury even hit a ball to the outfield?

[a700hitter]

What a f***ing idiot Tito is!

Pinch hitting is a managing skill Tito doesnt want to learn. He likes to keep his lineup in there for the whole game

I know. There are so many other things on his mind during the game. As he says when he plays the NL, "sometimes the game gets a little fast.":rolleyes:

[Rdsxmbnt]

lets go Papi!

[DrewDaGreat]

C'mon Papi!

[riverside sluggers]

Annnd Ortiz and Manny have combined to leave 8 men on today

[a700hitter]

More soft stuff to papi for the 3rd strike.

[Rdsxmbnt]

that was automatic runs last year

[ORS]

Bryd with the Posada special double.

[a700hitter]

Why don't Drew, Pedroia, and Youk get to know each other in the clubhouse so they don't have to look at each other so much on popups.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Very nice outing for Manny D

[ORS]

Good stuff from MDC.

[a700hitter]

Good stuff from MDC.

[a700hitter]

Hey Tito, listen clearly...

The crowd needs to start chanting Lowell's name from now.

[ORS]

Warning track special from Manny.

[a700hitter]

[a700hitter]

Drew with the single. That's the best we could hope for.

[a700hitter]

Hinske will provide the DP no doubt.
