I'm not feeling good about it.

I'm really pissed about this. Total letdown. Feels like the girlfriend just broke up with me.

What's wrong with that? At least it's just your GF and not Tyler who is entitled to half your empire. Get back up on that horse and get another side project.

I said the Rangers in 5 and I stand by that. I think they'll win Tuesday. Then they'll lose the first two at home against NYY. Then they'll take 3 in the Bronx. Then NYY will win game 6 in Arlington. The Rangers will then need to win Game 7 at home...something they've never done in their history.

I just want to see one home postseason win. We better win tomorrow.

My feeling is not good, I predict the reverse sweep.

[P. Marf]

That sounds dirty.

[The Real Doyle]

I didn't say the "red river ring worm"

So long Josh Lewin. You were extremely corny but kept the game entertaining.

[fischer]

Dang, I liked Lewin.

[Ticket Mouse]

Dang...I was about to post a thread about it.

Stay hard Ja. I liked him too. A lot of people thought he was corny or too homerish but if you actually heard other PBP guys from around the league you'd realize he isn't that bad.

I liked Josh. This is a bad decision.

[Ticket Mouse]

I penned a comment on behalf of Mushmouth.

[P. Marf]

I think its Josh's decision though.

[P. Marf]

Actually I've read a few different articles and said they both agreed it was time to separate. I dont know. Whatever. Keep DB out of there though. I dont want to hear yalls crap about how he is good. Yall are the only people I have ever talked to that like him. I hear so much stuff about how he sucks from many people so I am not the only one. Suck it Dave.

[Ticket Mouse]

I like him on the radio. He has a Brad Sham cadence at times.

Part of the article from BBTiA. The comments at the end echo this.

But as dead-on as Nadel was, his partner, Dave Barnett, was equally off base. Barnett repeatedly credited the Yankees (and faulted Lee) for the big plays that led to the Yankees four runs. Derek Jeter’s pop fly to the right-field corner than Nelson Cruz played into a leadoff triple? That was, according to Barnett, Lee’s fault, because he left his pitch up. And so, consequently, was the run that Jeter scored to cut the Rangers’ lead to 6-2 — despite the fact that Jeter crossed the plate after Bengie Molina failed to block an inside slider, and that Lee went on to strike out the side. Barnett also blamed Lee’s pitch location for Lance Berkman’s run-scoring double in the seventh, which made it 6-3. It was left to Nadel to insist that Nelson Cruz bailed on what was an eminently catchable fly ball that landed on the warning track, just as Nadel was the one who pointed out that Cruz over-slid on the Jeter triple.

(Barnett’s calls continued to baffle. After Darren O’Day struck out Jeter for the second out of the seventh, for example, Barnett proclaimed that O’Day had surrendered Brett Gardner’s RBI single earlier in the inning. In fact, Gardner registered that hit off Lee. No correction was forthcoming. Barnett seems like a great guy, but he’s well past the point at which he can be cut slack for being new to the game. The Rangers must consider finding a new partner for Nadel.)
