And speaking of your starters, just wondering if you now think Cliff will be sticking around? I agree he struggled when he went to Texas, but, obviously he's a keeper. If the Yankees get him I'll cry. I think Yankee stadium is bad for him though, since he gives up some long balls, and it's a pint-sized, wind tunnel-blowin' stadium. I hope you guys keep him - or trade him back to us - LOL.

Right now...

But as of now I am sure he will be a Ranger in 2011. That night game at Fenway was great, Bengie got introduced to the 'Antlers' real quick with his 'ripping of the time-space continuum' cycle: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...ace-continuum/ Bengie Molina hits for cycle, creates rip in time-space continuum We have witnessed many unlikely events already this season — Stephen Strasburg striking out 14 in his major league debut, four no-hitters, two perfect games, one almost perfect game, the first-place San Diego Padres and the National League actually winning an All-Star Game — but I can say without hesitation that Bengie Molina‘s cycle against the Red Sox on Friday night was the most improbable of them all. Molina was already 3-for-3 with a single, a double and a go-ahead grand slam when he came up to the plate in the top of the eighth inning. That’s a great night by anybody’s standards, but Molina wasn’t done. He proceeded to crank a long drive to distant center field, not far from where he hit his grand slam in the fifth inning. After the ball ricocheted off Eric Patterson‘s glove and into Fenway’s famous nook in right center field, the notoriously slow-footed Molina legged out his sixth career triple and successfully completed the first cycle by a catcher since Chad Moeller on April 27, 2004. Even more incredible, Molina is the eighth player and the first catcher to hit a grand slam and complete the cycle in the same game. It happened. If you haven’t seen it already, I recommend watching the video footage here. Here’s what Molina told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com: “This means a lot,” Molina said. “I’m not a stats guy; everybody who knows me knows that. That’s an individual thing, but being one of the slowest guys in the world, and being criticized for it all my career, to be able to do something like that really makes me feel good.” The fact that Molina was forced to leave the game immediately after the triple with a tight right quadriceps is rather appropriate. It’s like he was punished for messing with the cosmos or something.

I'm not sure what to think of the Eric Wedge signing. Hopefully he will be able to get things under control in that clubhouse. YOu know the big elephant in the room is Ichiro. Yes he is a hall of fame player(first ballot in my opinion) but there have been more than a few rumblings that his 3 favorite words are I, me, and mine.

Yeah, Ichiro is a different kind of guy. As long as he's been here, I don't feel like we know him that well, you know? Griffey seemed to genuinely like him, but most players don't say much about him at all. Most in the organization just ( rightfully ) praise his talent, but you never really hear what a great guy he is. The exception to that is HOF announcer Dave Niehaus. Like Griffey, he seems to genuinely like Ichiro, and that goes a long way in my book. Niehaus is as class a guy as there is. Period. Still, If Ichiro doesn't get along with someone ( Mike Hargrove ) that someone isn't going to be around too long, 'cause if Ichi ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy! On the other hand, Ichiro is a perfectionist and obviously very disciplined. Something lacking in this org. ( Figgins, Betencourt, etc... ) Obviously we've had plenty of under achievers, so it's not the best mix Man, my M's need help... BTW, David, my son ( he's 12 ) is a big Red Sox fan. He's even a member of Kid Nation! He was 6 in 2004, and was always a baseball fan ( and player ), but he really followed the Sox that year, and of course, became a huge Ortiz and Ramirez fan, as most kids did. Winning the WS was icing on the cake. We always go to the Red Sox games when they're at Safeco, and he's absolutely in heaven surrounded by so many of his Nation! One of these days I hope to take him to Fenway ( atop the green monster of course ). He'd love it...

Gotta give the Giants credit...
they capitalized on the errors that the Rangers made tonight, and turned those errors into runs in their 11-7 win.

I love a game with a lot of runs, but I don't love when they're the result of sloppy fielding. Still, was an exciting game and Freddy Sanchez, you go, dude! |

Seriously. Really felt for CJ Wilson tonight, he pitched a good game and it just went to hell once the bullpen got involved. Granted, there were no bats from the Rangers to back it up either. Reminded me of the Yankees in the ALCS!

Well...
unless the Rangers can pull a series comeback ala the 1979 Pirates, I think it's safe to say the Giants are going to win this series.

I am SO EXCITED. There aren't words. My parents have season tickets so they've been at all the home games. Feels weird to not be home for this. Last edited by daniellaaarisen; 10-31-2010 at 10:09 PM.. |

Miracles happen all the time in baseball... though realistically your boys aren't looking so good. Dang, they're so much better than they are playing right now
