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

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.

After the previous night’s really late night due to seeing Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, I fell asleep watching this game. Didn’t miss much, as we were shut out 4-0. Rogers was terrorized by a few bloops, I didn’t think he pitched all that bad, but gave up just enough to lose because we didn’t get anything. :)
As I write this today, Juan’s been activated, so hopefully we can get some pop back, although I don’t expect much in the Detroit series due to him being rusty and it being rather cold in Detroit.

I did not see or hear any of this game, as Wed night was my bowling night, and from there I headed to the movie theatre to wait in line to see a midnight showing of the new Star Wars flick. Still, was nice to see a win in the box scores, especially for Valdes, who should have a better record than he does. Also surprised to see that Arod was ejected.
