I don’t have the time to write commentary for this game either, as I’m still working on the big project at work today. However, it was another Ranger loss – there’s too many of them this year. 68 is about what you should have for an entire season, not your total at Aug 14th.

I’m back. First off, let me say that I was away on vacation from Aug 3rd to August 10th. I decided not to cover the games from that time, as well as the Indians series at home due to the fact that I wanted a break. Since returning, I’ve been obscenely busy (working a 20 hr day, and a 16 hour day back to back), and I felt I didn’t have the time to go back and update these games.
Because of that, I have no actual commentary for this game either – as I was up at work, and couldn’t pay attention to the game. I had it on, but I couldn’t really listen to it, because I had so much going on at the time.

Oh my!
Day games are tough for me, because I have to work, so I can’t always pay attention. TOday was no exception. However, I caught enough of it – what a blastfest! Four home runs to answer the Yanks 5 last night. We had 18 hits, they only had four. What a thumping!
Kapler had his first home run since June 21st, and overall, our offense was clicking very well. I wish I could have watched it on TV. :)
We won a series in NY for the first time since 1993 – it was really nice to see them win up in New York. Hopefully when we get back to the playoffs, we don’t have such a problem up here.

I didn’t get to hear much of this one, as I was busy prepping for a vacation – plus it wasn’t on TV.
This one can be summed up in a bad performance by Rob Bell – giving up 5 home runs – not good. Surprisingly, we didn’t lie down and die – we made an effort of it late, after we were down 8-1, but not enough of a comeback.

Oh, the joy of beating the Yankees in Yankee stadium! Oh, the irritation that the Red Sox lost, and couldn’t take advantage of it.
When this game started, I feared the worst. Darren Oliver in Yankee Stadium? I had the feeling of 9-2 going into this game. And, the way it started, I felt I was right – Ted Lilly was perfect through the first four innings or so.
However, Raffy broke that up with a big majestic HR into the upper deck in right field. A couple of innings later, Arod jacked one, as did Pudge to put us up 4-2. We scored a few more runs in the ninth for insurance, and Venafro had some trouble in the bottom of the ninth, so Zim came in, and got a save anyway.
Great game – especially beating the Yankees!
