Rangers rained out a second time in Vegas

Posted by on at http://www.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20040403&content_id=688426&vkey=pr_tex&fext=.jsp&c_id=tex>MLB.com Recap

Saturday’s game was rained out and canceled too. That means we close out spring training on a five game losing streak. Today’s game was going to be an agreed upon eleven inning game, too because yesterday’s was rained out. I wonder what we’re going to do for pitcher’s work now.

It’s too bad, as I’m sick this weekend with a fever, and was looking forward to the game on TV this afternoon. Oh well. The real deal starts Monday night. I miss first game of the season in our home park. I hope that comes back next year.

Rangers rained out in Las Vegas

Posted by on at http://www.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20040402&content_id=682613&vkey=pr_tex&fext=.jsp&c_id=tex>MLB.com Recap

Nothing to report here. A rainout. As it’s this late in the season, it won’t be made up, either. Probably good, as I have a fever, and I don’t think I’ll still be awake when the game was scheduled to come on in about three hours from when I’m writing this.

ST30: Rangers lose again, this time to Giants, 7-6

Posted by on at http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/tex/news/tex_news.jsp?ymd=20040402&content_id=679078&vkey=spt2004gamer&fext=.jsp>MLB.com Recap

A big back and forth game. Michael Tucker had a great game, with a double, triple, & HR. I kind of wished I could see this game, and not just hear it, as I don’t get to see games from SF all that often.

Chan Ho Park was just “OK”. One not so great inning and a few decent ones combining for an “eh” outing. Possibly bad news about Park, though having to come out of the game. All the stories say he’s fine, but with his history the last two years? Can’t say it’s not worrying at the least.

I’m up in the air about the reports in the paper today about Milton Bradley being a Ranger. On one hand, he’s a tremendous baseball player. He’s got skills like you’d die to get. However, he’s one colossal ass. I’m really torn as to whether we want him or not. Plus I wonder how he’ll get along with Buck Showalter, who is himself a hardass (but I like that in a manager).

ST29: Rangers lose to Diamondbacks, 8-1

I’m feeling sick, so I won’t spend a lot of time on this, but I will say this.. Rodriguez allowed 8 runs, 4 earned. That’s 4 unearned runs, and just one error on our ledger. That must have been a whopper of an error. Game shortened by rain. That’s it for Surprise. We break camp tomorrow. No word on Mike Young’s contract extension, or Glendon Rusch’s situation as I write this at about 5:30PM on Wed.
