ST30: Rangers beat Giants, 10-5

Posted by on at

I didn’t realize this game was on the radio, or I would have listened to all of it. I checked the MLB site around 10:45 and saw there was a feed, so I started listening to it. When I started, the game was already 4-4, but I still got to see some of the Juan Gonzalez show. :)
Nice to see a big offensive outburst like this – 6RBI for Juan, but I hope this carries over. These are nice to see, but I want to see ’em when they count.
John Thomson came out of the game iwth an injury, and how it will impact the roster is not yet known. However, other than John, the rest of our pitching was quite good – The team of Powell / Cordero / Urbina / Santos / Garcia combined for 6.1 innings, giving up just one run. As we wind down, I’m a bit concerned about Esteban Yan – he hasn’t seemed to have gotten it together yet. :(

ST26: Rangers lose to Padres, 8-5

Once again, work prevented me from listening to much of this game, but I did get to hear the best part – the six run uprising in the seventh inning to win the game 8-5.
It was also nice to see that the big 6 spot wasn’t with three run home runs – in fact, no home runs were involved!
It was also NOT nice to see us give up 5 runs in a game yet again.

ST25: Rangers shut out by White Sox, 4-0

I was busy doing some other things, and didn’t hear anything about this game, but from looking at the box score, I didn’t miss much. John Thomson was decent, giving up just two earned runs over five innings. Of course, when you don’t score any, it doesn’t matter how many you give up (when the number is greater than zero).
One week from this game and they count, and we can see/hear every game again! \o/
