G36: Rangers beat Tigers, 6-1

Posted by Joe Siegler on May 14, 2004 at 11:37 pm http://www.mlb.com/news/wrap.jsp?ymd=20040515&content_id=744114&vkey=wrapup2004&fext=.jsp&c_id=tex>MLB.com Recap

There’s something cool about a Saturday afternoon game. I watched it on TV, and then afterwards I thought I should have sat on the patio in my back yard with a beer and the radio – that seems rather “pure” to me for some reason. :)

We avoid the first three game losing streak of the season with a 6-1 win over Detroit. Powered by three home runs by Soriano, Blalock, & Mike Young, we won easily. We had only 9 hits, with Young, Perry, & Laird getting two, and the other three were from Blalock, Soriano, & Teixeira. We didn’t have a lot of bunched hits, but what we had was fairly efficient.

Nate Robertson looked good for Detroit, striking out 10 Rangers in 5.2 innings. Kenny Rogers only had two strikeouts, but he didn’t walk anyone, either. Carlos Almanzar looked great in relief, as did Jay Powell, which is good, as Jeff Nelson is out till August now. :(

Brett Carre: The mini-skid is over after a 6-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday. We had the long ball theme today with home runs by Young, Blalock, and Soriano.

Kenny Rogers pitched well today and Almanzar pitched great in relief. Hank Blalock also had some great plays at 3rd base today. I know A-rod is going to be the starter at 3rd in the All-Star game, but if Hank doesn’t make the team then that is just bull.

Another thing that is getting me pissed, everyone who is not a Ranger fan is saying that we are slowing down and we will be in last place soon. If we win tomorrow we will be 4-2 on this 6 game road trip. I can’t remember a time that a team that went 4-2 on a road trip was slowing down.

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.
