Question for the observant: Have the pregame guys and JD and Brown always worn coat and ties, or is it just this year?

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a requirement of new ownership.

I think something based on this will end up being the new look next year.

They are sharp.  Feliz barely gets his upper body forward on his follow through.  Kind of unusual, but he brings it.

I like the velocity, but I don't like his mechanics. I think that he's leaving some speed on the table.

What's irritating is that he's not even trying. He needs his ass sent down to AA.

Fuck. He hits a guy then walks a guy to load the bases with one out. Then gets a K and a pop up without throwing a fucking strike again.

And that was not a great pitch by IronMan.

The silver lining is that I just picked up 6 fantasy points.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Of course, it helps when the pitcher throws it at your bat.

It still amuses me how that dumbfuck Berkman shot his mouth off a year ago talking about how the Rangers had overpaid for Beltre like it was any of his motherfucking business.

The Astros got jobbed on the Bourn deal.

Richard Lloyd, huh? Which? I have several of his solo records but only on vinyl.

I read these game threads as much for the obscure references as I do game information. I think I learned that the Rangers' and their fans form a psychotic collective fuck-face full of strychnine and cursed by a witch.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit
