Hey – some cool stuff last night! A home run by Cal in his last at bat in Texas (kudos to the woman who caught the ball and isn’t selling it).. The first four game home sweep EVER at TBIA.. Our first four game winning streak of the season.. Happened with a 9-7 win last night.
However, it wasn’t all good – Ruben Sierra hurt himself, and has to go on the DL. Details.
Who is in charge at KDFI?
I have some news to the idiots who run the pre-game show at KDFI.. When there is something important like the farewell ceremony with Cal Ripken, you don’t talk over it with lame brain announcers.. That guy they have who stands in the camera pit while talking… Yeesh, we could do without this guy (what do you mean “If” Cal gets voted in in the first year for HOF eligibility?). And, the roving reporter in the stands – he needs to go too. This guy has no personality. Bring back John Rhadigan. As for the Cal thing – you need to dump your mostly lame pre-game banter, and show the FULL Cal ceremony. If these guys were covering the team when Nolan Ryan’s number was retired, they’d probably jabber over that too with some inane junk that we all knew already.
G102: Rangers beat Rays 13-7 despite Ben Grieve grand slam
Ben Grieve had a grand slam – he only ever seems to hit well when he’s here – why not sign him up, and have him play right field? His lack of arm strength shouldn’t be that big of an issue there.
The sticks were out for us – that’s good, because Rob Bell had probably his weakest appearance as a Ranger, yet still won the game. Overall, it was a pretty sloppy contest, with Rob giving up 7ER in 7 innings, although Juan Moreno & Brandon Villafuerte nailed down the remaining two innings, not giving up anything.
Nice to see Mike Young with a triple, although it was NOT nice seeing Ruben Sierra have to come out of the game – that’s probably a trip to the DL for him, which I did NOT want to see at all.
G101: Rangers sweep Orioles with 9-7 win
I don’t have time to sit down and write a commentary on this one, as I’m terribly busy at work with Max Payne being released (I work for 3D Realms a PC computer game maker, if you didn’t know).
Was nice to see Cal hit a home run – what an awesome player!

G98: Rangers take wild one against Orioles, 8-7
I really want to write about this game, but at the moment, I can’t. I’ve been up practically all night (it’s 11:15AM as I write this) – I was here overnight at work shipping product.
However, I can say this. The Cal locker thing is bizarre, this was a big see-saw game, I really thought we’d lost it about three times, but we managed to come back and win on a pinch hit by Velarde, and Zimmerman really pulled a Wetteland before getting the save.
