I know Longoria's in a slump,
but I wouldn’t try to steal a run there, not with Casilla pitching and not with a runner at third just waiting for another wild pitch.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
I think that was an accident
CC probably would have stolen, and just got caught by the play

This game is boring and pathetic all at the same time.

Yes.
We need either a big tease or something freaky and weird.

I want to believe that we will have a good team next year
but as long as Geren is managing and the not so genius is running things, I do not see any good hitters being produced.
They (management) appear to have no clue in this department.
But we will continue to hope

Yeah. I can hope.
But i have 0 faith in us producing a good hitter or two. I mean after Holliday stinking it up… I just dont know what to think.

- We’ll split the AFC West and go 3-3.
- We’ll split the AFC North and go 2-2.
- Between the NFC East, the Texans and Jets, we’ll win two games. That’s just two out of six games.
- That takes us to 7-9 and I don’t see neither the Chiefs nor the Broncos being any better than 5-11 at best.
