What a stinker. After coming back and taking the lead, we blow it late. Which wasn’t a big problem generally for Seanez / Irabu. But it was today. That’s about all I have to write about this one. :(

G46: Rangers finally play, lose to Royals, 6-3

Posted by on at

After finally getting in a game after a couple of rainouts, I wished for a third rainout in a row. I’m writing this knowing I still have to write about the DH and the Monday game against the Twins, I find it hard to come up with something for four games when they were all suck ass games.
Dave Burba continued his problems in the first inning. Makes me think we should pitch someone else for his games in the first inning, and let him come in in the second.
Losses are always bad, but against teams you’re supposed to beat up on.. Ugh.

Second rainout in a row

Rainout after two delays in the game – one for 30 mins at the start, and a much longer one in the top of the fourth. Too bad, as Raffy had a 2 run HR for his 1500th RBI of his career, and Chan Ho Park looked pretty good tonight, too. This one will be made up on July 15th as part of a DH.

Rainout. Will get made up on Sunday as part of a DH.

Didn’t get to see much of this game, so no commentary from me. Nice to pick up a win and break the streak, though.

G44: Rangers lose to Twins, 8-2

Didn’t get to see much of this game, so no commentary from me. We did pick up a half game in the standings on the off day though as the A’s lost when we were idle, so we’re in sole possession of third – although still too far back for my tastes.

G43: Offense falls asleep; Rangers lose 2-1

Posted by on at

Well, I’d like to say our bullpen blew this one, but it didn’t. Our offense didn’t do anything again. The most amusing moment of this game was when Bill Haselman got hit on the head by a ball while he was sliding into home plate to score our only run of the game – and the ball went out of play.
Can’t blame the pen for this one. Doug Davis didn’t even pitch that bad, only gave up two runs in six, although he wasn’t very dominating.
A sweep to the Tigers is a bad BAD way to head into Minnesota to face the best home record team in the majors. :(

G42: Bullpen blows it, loses 8-7 to Detroit

Our bullpen reverted to it’s April form, led by John Rocker, who was publicly insulted by Tom Hicks after the game. Methinks Rocker isn’t long for the Rangers – I suspect he’ll go when Powell comes back in a week or so.

G41: Dave Burba loses to Tigers, 6-3

Dave Burba early. What more do you need to know about this one? Sigh.
