I wonder if the name Mike Adams translated in Portugese means Tony Romo? He seems to do all he can to help the other team score. Comes in with a lead and gives up a solo HR and three straight walks?

He seems like such a good dude. If it works out, thank you.

Great night of baseball. Texas earns homefield advantage for the first round. Boston blows a one run lead in the 9th and lose to The O's, and the Rays make up a 7 run deficit in the 8th and 9th then win it in the bottom of the 12th against the Yankees to earn the wildcard. All following a 13 inning game between Philly and Atlanta to send the braves home for the year and help the Cards complete one of the greatest comebacks in recent history to make the playoffs from being down 10 games back in August.

It's gonna be a great October

Rick.

Longoria became only the second player in history to put his team in the playoffs with a walk off homerun in the final regular game of the season. Wow!

Rick

yep the other was the shot heard round the world.

Why is Kinsler still batting leadoff? The guy is hitting .250 and is back to his love affair with that upper cut homerun swing. I am not sure what was so wrong with Andrus leading off or someone else like Chavez, Borbon (if healthy) etc. I am completely frustrated with Kinsler and he will be the crippler to the success of this offense if he doesn't get his act together. Get him down to 6th or 7th and maybe he'll go back to his 2010 or 2008 form. If I am JD id welcome trade offers this off season because offensively he's become a complete whip.

There are times when I feel like he redeems himself but this guy is capable of being a CONSISTENT .320-.330 hitter. If he can take walks then he can do it with any type of hitting style. I'll take the high average and about 15-20 homers versus the .240 to .255 average and 32 homers. His home run affection could really hurt this team in the post season in key situations. I'm just sayin....

.255 average, but a .355 on-base percentage...Kins finished 9th in MLB in walks.

In fact, there are 5 players in the top 50 in the MLB in walks who have a favorable BB:K ratio...

5. Dustin Pedroia (86:85, 1.01)

4. Prince Feilder (107:106, 1.01)

3. Joey Bats (132:111, 1.19)

2. Miggy (108:89, 1.21)

...and

1. Ian Kinsler (89:71, 1.25)

I agree that it's classy, but I'm not sure that it fires the team up. That was a pretty major downer when it happened, and I'm not sure the psychological factor of reminding everybody (especially Josh) will be positive.

Maybe not "fire up" like we think Thunderstruck or Welcome To The Jungle...

Rather, give them something to play for...? Maybe "fired up" was the wrong wording...

Please note that he is among the league leaders in walks, steals, and runs scored.

Would Andrus be better at leadoff and Kinsler hit second? I don't know but the lineup is pretty effective the way it is.

Who was that playing the Tampa Bay Rays? It sure as hell didn't look like the Rangers.

I'm not too concerned. They had to face a talented pitcher that had made one start in his career. The Rangers always struggle against those kinds of pitchers. If we can pull off a win against Shields tomorrow, we will be in good shape going to Tampa. It's not like they have a dominant home-field advantage or anything

CJ should stand for "Can't Justify"" your next contract extension!

Rick

If there is a game 5 I think he'll redeem himself. The guy is pretty tough mentally and just when you think he's lost it he comes right back and gets back to great form.

As for his contract he'll get his contract either way he'll get his big bucks...he wont get 100 million or anything but he wasn't going to get that anyways I don't think. He'll probably get a contract something along the lines of what John Lackey got.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I condone and understand the mistaken omission. It was the most misleading victory in Mean Green history. I was there for that game in club seat because the weather was horrible. A pass happy UTSA came to Denton with a cold windy miserable wet day that made it impossible to throw the ball. Maybe they win the game if the weather was not so bad. But the fact they let that game be an excuse to keep Littrell another season was infuriating! 🤬. A decision like that had nothing to do with winning football because they followed that up with another double digit loss in the closet thing to a home Bowl Game in Frisco losing by double digits to a juggernaut 6-6 Miami OH. I said this at the time as well. And it was a confirmed bad decision when Seth couldn’t find a better QB than Austin Aune or get his completion percentage above 60% for more than 2 games in a row. This department is comfortable with mediocrity and programs new to the FBS level like UTSA our asses routinely. Long as we can beat teams having historically bad seasons for their program and FCS teams we are good. I am sure many of the few loyal fans were annoyed that there were enough fans that partied outside the stadium for homecoming to make the game a sellout. But after 20 years of the bullshit, I can’t be disappointed in them anymore.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      It feels like this season is over. If we somehow manage to get that elusive 6th win, can we file a lawsuit to help a 3-win MAC team get into a bowl game so that it will at least be competitive? Also, can we go back to the era when we didn't have any rivals? Any annual "rivalries" just end up fizzling because we're so terrible in those games that the series quickly become non-competitive and unexciting. We never really take any successful steps to improve the program while others refuse to remain complacent.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.

      Looked him up. He’s a 5’7” 170lb QB/Wr. You’re trolling us or you’re not watching the same games I am… unless he’s the key to unlocking 800 yards and 55ppg he’s not the answer. The answer is a defense with a pulse. I am not saying we don’t need or want him…but he’s not changing this team from losers to winners by himself. That lousy team that just whipped us last night has always had a better defense on the field than we have. With the exception of 2013.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Yet Stone has been playing since he was a true freshman. Nothing against the guy, just wondering what sets him apart from the others like Vice, Cotton, and Mason.
