I go to church ... and am one of his biggest critics here.

Me as well. A Christian man does not make for a good player. He's been given his chance here.

I totally agree with you. It makes him a good man. There are a lot of people who cannot separate the two, but around here we can. Murph the person is fine with me. I don't know him, but he seems like a great dude. Murph the ballplayer annoys me.

It was a joke lol

Great game tonight but short of worried about Scheppers... more worried about the dude he hit though. Anyway, just a quick stop by. I have updated the banner page a bit... if you get a chance, go visit. I put one in their I think you will like Rev.

Evan Grant @Evan_P_Grant I'll just go ahead and say it for you: Great roster utilization by Rangers manager Ron Washington today, especially pinch-running Rosales.



Give me a break wide load.

Hey grant, do you think you could get wash's dick out of your mouth long enough to write something objective?

 

[Windingmywatch]

Me neither but people keep trotting out Murphy's average as a justification for playing him, and outside of SLG% its still not all that favorable to Murphy

He's a career .280 hitter up through 2011 ... and with 2012 career high and 2013 career low included ... he's still a career .280 hitter. But when you are sub .230 your entire FA season ... you are going to find yourself with a 1 year deal as a #4 for MIA, MIN or HOU.

Nicely done. He is staring down that hotdog.

Phillies or Mets will sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal.

As a fat kid in high school I can see him brown nosing the coaches with lunches his mom made so he could be a 4-letter guy carrying a water pail.

That's exactly right.

 

[RevSader]

So you wanna be a ball player do ya?

... and using his 'inside sources' writing a sports column for the weekly mimeographed high school newspaper.

(How many here know what mimeograph is?)

Old school...

wow, I bet that totally screwed up his nose... bet he is going to need surgery.

Can you imagine if he took it directly too the nose?

 

[Hambombs]

I saw in the highlights that Adam Rosales scored the winning run. How did he get on base?

Pinch ran for Moreland who singled.

Gentry better play the next 4 games...

Surely a blind man could see Gentry makes things happen when in the lineup and defends bad things from happening in the OF.

With all the lefties he has to start all the games. Just has to.

Gentry may start but I bet some of it is in CF and Martin sits and Murphy plays LF. I have a feeling they will alternate Martina and Murphy against the lefties. And I disagree with that as well. Martin puts pressure on the opposing team because of his speed just like Gentry does.

All...The White Sox series folder is up. See you there.
