If You Are Going To Swim, You Gotta Jump In The Pool

Disclaimer: To win free stuff, you have to pick the first Ranger to homer, the inning and the men on base. First tie breaker: Count. Second: Distance. If you choose to pick no homers, please give us a total number of runs the Rangers will score. Homerless games do happen. See last night’s 5-4 win as an example.

The Rangers lineup vs. Oakland LHP Josh Outman (weather permitting): 2B Ian Kinsler, CF Marlon Byrd, 3B Michael Young, LF Andruw Jones, DH Hank Blalock, RF Nelson Cruz, 1B Chris Davis, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, SS Elvis Andrus and pitching for the Rangers … RHP Vicente Padilla.

Now, don’t jump in until at least 30 minutes after you’ve eaten!

    Is it too late to change my prediction to no homerins, no Ranger runs? If not, I’ll bet on rainout instead of Hank.

  • Ehren @ April 29th, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    should we have a “poppin hammy” game?

    Since it’s still raining, I’m guessing that entries are still allowed?

    I’m going with Nelson Cruz, 4th inning, nobody on, 3-1 count, 423 feet
