G3: Rangers beat Barry Zito, 2-1

Posted by Joe Siegler on April 7, 2004 at 2:55 pm http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/wrapup.jsp?ymd=20040407&content_id=696411&vkey=wrapup2004&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb>MLB.com Recap

Whoa. We beat Barry Zito. That’s never happened before – ever. I’ll have more to say about the game tomorrow. I will say this now. We’ve played three games. Alfonso Soriano has had an error in all three (although the one in game 2 he didn’t deserve).

After thinking about it overnight, all I can think of to say about the game is damn – we had some great pitching, and against Barry Zito. Wow. So far the pitching has been great in the first three games – something I did NOT expect to happen at all. A nice opening series, even though we lost 2 of 3.

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
