Ewww. Ewww.. Ewwww..
A major stinker all around. Bad pitching, and what looks like a really bad team (on the whole). Nothing is working right now, and I really hope we can bring in someone to help out with the pitching.
As much of an Oates supporter I’ve been, I wonder. I know he doesn’t pitch, but perhaps a change in direction is needed.

I wasn’t watching this one from the start, as my hometown Phillies were on ESPN2. I don’t get to see many Phils games, so I mostly paid attention to that. However, I saw the score of this one roll in on the ticket on ESPN2. Blech.
Quite frankly, I’m getting tired of writing about bad games. I’m sure the Rangers are tired of losing them. We’re down, but we’re not out. We’re just compounded by the horrendous pitching and the awesome start by the Mariners.
I just hope this doesn’t turn into a fiasco like last year’s did. I’ve also got an uneasy feeling about too many injuries this year. :(

AH CRAP! – I had just got done telling my wife that Zimmerman looks like he’s back to his early 99 form when he goes and gives up a three run home run to lose the game in the 10th. The Mavericks game was more exciting than this! The Tigers are a team we are supposed to beat up on. This is NOT good.
I was going to go to this game originally – today was the 10th anniversary of Nolan Ryan’s 7th no hitter, and he threw out the first ball. I almost went. Glad I didn’t – I would have been irritated.
We don’t seem to be able to hold any kind of lead – although our bullpen doesn’t seem THAT bad. I don’t understand it, honestly.
Arod should have done enough, with two home runs – but we let them back in the game, and then Zimmerman (who has been pitching great otherwise) gave up a three run jack in the 10th to lose it.
Frustrating! I’m not watching tomorrow night, but only because my hometown Phillies are on ESPN2, I’ll watch that game instead, I only ever get to see less than 6 games a year with the Phils. :)

I’m not writing a lot, as I’m writing this on May 2nd, and the game has faded a bit from my memory – my wife and I went to Round Rock over the weekend to check out some minor league games at the Dell Diamond. This weekend was a minor league weekend. :)

This is about the type of game I expected this year. Lots of offense, mediocre pitching, and we prevail in the end. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’ve gotten a lot of this year so far.
It was really nice to see Gabe Kapler get a grand slam – and Jeff Zimmerman looked really good coming in from the pen – he appears to be pitching like 1999 again – was also nice to see Rusty Greer get a couple of jacks. He really seems over what ailed him last year.

It seems like so long ago when we swept the A’s, and life was great. Now, we’re 8 games behind the Mariners, who are 18-4, and appear to be running away with the division already!
This loss was annoying, we should have won – Kenny pitched decent, if not great, and we got screwed by a (lack of) an interference call late. Sure, the case could be made if we played better, the win shouldn’t have had to hang on an umpire’s call, but there we are.
And we go into Cleveland this weekend to face Juan Gonzalez – my guess is that he tees off on us.
