im only a foot behind you.Goodbye.
So did anybody catch the fact that Hamilton made the All Star Game?
After his courageous battle with drug addiction there's no way any true American can argue that choice. I think it's only fair to put him in the starting lineup of every All Star game for the next 100 years. Even when he's passed away, they should only play with eight fielders due to the respect such a great individual commands

finally a sweep
hopefully the hitters are finally getting into a groove. they need to bust out with a 10+ game win streak, and try to get some damn separation.
A foot is enough, if it stays that way.
yup yup.
Holland was stellar. Who cares if it was against the A's, who can't hit . Complete game shutout is always good.
Also my god...one year and a day after a Rangers fan fell from the 2nd deck down the first base line (and survived)...another Rangers fan fell tonight, in left field between the two fences. This guy wasn't so lucky, and he didn't make it.

Go to the 55 second mark on the video linked. Apparently after a foul ball, Josh Hamilton flipped up the ball to the fan, who fell as he was reaching over the rail to catch it. I can't imagine how Hamilton feels. wow
Wow..that's incredibly horrible.Thoughts and prayers with his family. People have got to stop going out of the realm of safety to catch a baseball.
seriously, if i'm sitting there and i have to bend even a little bit, then i'm just letting it go. just not worth it.
Still, I'm not saying by any means that this guy deserved it. I've seen way worse when it comes to going after balls like that
r.i.p
It's scary to think about how easy it is to just fall over like that. I agree that you need to be aware of that situation if you're in those seats and tell yourself that if a ball is coming your way that you need to make sure that you know about how far you can go before you fall over.
I don't know how easy that would be in the heat of the moment though.
If it were me, I'd probably just not reach over for the ball. Either way, RIP. The kid behind him is his son apparently.
Hamilton shouldn't feel bad, those announcers sound like total assholes laughing about it while it happened
Not sure how anyone wouldn't. A ball you throw to a fan is a little short, causing the fan to reach for it, fall, and die. It is by no means Hamilton's fault. But most normal people would be pretty wrecked about it.
Another update: the guy was talking to paramedics after he fell. But what killed him was a heart attack on the way to the hospital. This story keeps getting sadder.
i would be willing to lay down a george washington that those announcers don't wanna make a trip to the dugout and have a discussion with the elderly play caller after that poorly constructed presentation
"I wonder if he's up, they're still looking down there."
translation: "we don't know if he's ok, but we're just gonna continue to make it super casual!"
I was more saying the announcers should feel a lot worse than he does for how they acted afterward.
That's true. I will assume they just didn't know the dimensions like our announcers do.
The temperature at first pitch tonight was 106. WTF it's after 7pm! FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU
Here come the Rangers!
Awesome win for the Rangers and Hambone. After the week he's had, he deserved something positive to happen.
Bye Seattle and Oakland.

so far so good tonight
holland perfect through 4...
Jesus...Holland is mowing them down and doing so with hardly any pitches thrown. He won't get the perfect game because stretch already said the magic words and jinxed it. But he could still get the [bleep] if he keeps pitching like this. Shouldn't have to worry about his pitch count. Only 53 through 5 innings.
fingers crossed
Holland seems to completely own the teams that don't produce any offense (Oakland and now Seattle). And then he gets obliterated by teams that can actually hit and score. His next start is in Anaheim. Holland has to be one of the hardest pitchers to predict.
