Rangers 2011 season thread

[mustang_marc]

Rangers gave up 2 in the top of the 8th, but now have the bases loaded, nobody out in the bottom of the 8th with MY at the plate.

And MY comes through with a bases clearing double! Game over....as if it wasn't already.

And Napoli follows with a 2 run bomb for good measure.

[Geor!]

What kind of mickey mouse shit is this?!

Pitching woes again... Guess those issues will just never be resolved.

While I'm bitching, I'll go ahead and also say that I'm less than impressed with Hamilton this year, too. Sub-.300 average and not even 20 home runs. If he's not banging the runs, he at least needs to keep that average well into the .300s and if he's not keeping his average well into the .300s, he needs to be banging 40 and 50 home runs a year like he's completely capable of. He's not doing either this year.

missing around 50 games kind if hurts your home run numbers. You are right on the avg though.

He missed that many this year? I thought he was out a few weeks, not a couple of months.

He's got 425 at bats, so he hasn't missed but a few weeks. Napoli has 100+ fewer at bats, but 6 more HR's.

With the exception of last year, Hamilton is very inconsistant.

I am pretty sure he had missed 40 games.



Correction 35 game stretch. So when you include random games lost, it is around 40.

He played in 133 games last season, and he's played 104 so far this season. There's 16 games left. Last season was by far the most games he's ever played.

[Nash B.]

He played out of his mind last season, just like the rest of the team.

[Geor!]

In good news, the Angels have dropped their last two, while the Rangers won on Sunday, giving them a 3 game lead again.

[Big Dad]

15 games left in the season

Just got my passcode for the ALDS presale, I might actually get tickets this year without having to sell my kidney!

I'm pretty sure this fucking organization has a personal vendetta against me. I never get accepted to join the cool club.

It's because you're a fucking jinx.
