Rangers Media Notes
Commentary (by me)
Well, this one got started a bit better than the first two. The Rangers got their
first home run of the pre-season (Scott Sheldon), and Gonzalez got into the RBI parade.
Perennial Ranger killer Jose Offerman started everything off with a two run home run off
of Mark Clark. Other than that, Clark seemed fairly sharp. I thought we were headed to
another win, but the long ball kills the Rangers again in their second extra inning game
of the first three of the pre-season.
The Rangers bunched things up again with 4 runs in one inning. That's always fun to see
from a fan standpoint, but I would prefer the Rangers do thing a bit more even than this.
Jonathan Johnson looked pretty good today, probably the best pitching I can recall.
From the radio announcement of the horrible throw by Mateo/Pena, I would love to see a
video of that. Mateo bounced a throw (three bounces) to the infield, and Pena hit the
umpire who was 10 feet away from home plate. That was the last play of the game.
More bad news off the field, though - Raffy & Mike Simms. :(
So far things aren't going all that well. Hopefully things will pick up soon.

Game Recap
FORT MYERS, Florida (Ticker) -- Creighton Gubanich's
sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning scored Adam Everett with the
winning run as the Boston Red Sox edged the Texas Rangers, 7-6, in exhibition play.
Everett reached second when loser Doug Davis threw away his comebacker for a two-base
error and advanced to third on Keith Mitchell's groundout.
Texas took a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth on John Shave's two-out RBI single, but the
Red Sox tied it on Steve Lomasney's leadoff homer in the bottom of the inning.
Jose Offerman and Nomar Garciaparra also homered for Boston.
Derek Lowe struck out four in two scoreless innings to earn the victory.
Scott Sheldon drilled a two-run homer in a four-run fourth for the Rangers and Ivan
Rodriguez and Juan Gonzalez each went 2-for-3 with an RBI.
