[Melmart1]

Ugh, another meltdown. Good thing is they bounce back well, and Pudge is starting tomorrow so hopefully he will bring some more energy to the team.

[Spursfan092120]

Damnit...lettin this bitch slip away...

[EricB]

Another game another choke.

So much for the team being different.

They need a win tomorrow of the highest order or this season is gonna go down the drain with a tough ass series in Tampa Bay this weekend.

[Spursfan092120]

Without jinxing, we should be able to finish this one off. We'll stay one game behind Boston. Let's go Yankees.

[dallaskd]

Boston has New york :tu

We can finally put away Tampa for good.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Well I picked a good game to attend. :D

Much better than last Friday's meltdown against Boston. I still need to even my record up next time. The Rangers are 2-3 this year when I go to the games. :(

[Spursfan092120]

Boston has New york :tu

We can finally put away Tampa for good.
God I hope so. I find myself once again cheering for the Yankees..I feel dirty.

[Texas Chili Dog]

God I hope so. I find myself once again cheering for the Yankees..I feel dirty.

I feel dirty too, but I will cheer for whomever if it helps get the Rangers into the damn playoffs again. lol

It's OUR turn!! :(

[Spursfan092120]

damn right it's our turn.

[Spursfan092120]

Yankees up 2-0 in the first inning over Boston....good so far...we need to get this series against Tampa started off well.

[dallaskd]

damn looks like everybody is gonna lose tonight

[Spursfan092120]

damn looks like everybody is gonna lose tonight
I know...would have been nice if we could have gotten the win with everyone losing..tie up the wild card.

[dallaskd]

Well Angels just lost. Sox are going to lose. We're down 5-3 going to the bottom 8th.

[Spursfan092120]

Well Angels just lost. Sox are going to lose. We're down 5-3 going to the bottom 8th.
yeah..nice little run in the 8th...gave us a chance.

[dallaskd]

ehh whatever. We can still bounce back. Boston will still stuggle with NY.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Didn't see the game tonight, I was at Cowboys Stadium. :D

[Spursfan092120]

Didn't see the game tonight, I was at Cowboys Stadium. :D
still jealous. :)

[Texas Chili Dog]

Angels won 7-3, and the Red Sox are beating the Yanks 12-1. Wow...we better win tonight.

[Spursfan092120]

Feliz in....hopefully he can give us a spark...3-3 in the bottom of the 6th

[Texas Chili Dog]

:depressed

[dallaskd]

Hey we gotta win today, and the angels lost for what ever that is worth. Hopefully the Yanks can beat the Sox tonight and we can get within a game.

Believe.

[crc21209]

Let's go Sox. :tu. :lol

[dallaskd]

LOL they just called Feldman, "Seth Feldman" about 5 times on ESPN News

[Texas Chili Dog]

Yanks beat Boston, so today was a perfect day.

[Melmart1]

And Chris Davis is coming down! Hack Blalock is getting benched! Oh, Happy Day!

[Whisky Dog]

Strike Out Davis is back? Great

[Spursfan092120]

And we head to New York.

[Chris]

I'm excited about Chris Davis coming back but Blalock getting benched isn't that great. Where are you going to put him though? I suppose he's got a spot on DH but I'm not thrilled with this move. I'm all in favor of starting Pudge and moving Teagarden to a backup role where he used to be.

[Chris]

And we head to New York.

We really need Millwood to start this series off right with a W. Lets hope the Yanks are in a slump.

[Spursfan092120]

We really need Millwood to start this series off right with a W. Lets hope the Yanks are in a slump.
That would be VERY nice....they got the win against Boston tonight, so we're going to have to hope we can pull it off.

[Texas Chili Dog]

If we take 2 of 3 at Yankee Stadium, I might wet myself. Just sayin.

[Spursfan092120]

If we take 2 of 3 at Yankee Stadium, I might wet myself. Just sayin.
Why stop at 2? :hat

[Texas Chili Dog]

Why stop at 2? :hat

ok, if we win 2 of 3, I will wet myself. If we win all 3, I will run around my apartment complex naked. :hat

[Chris]

Let's go for the SWEEP! http://www.rockingham.k12.va.us/sound_sorting/initial_blends/sw/images/sweep.jpg

[Spursfan092120]

http://whiskerswatch.com/images/hate/YankeesSuck.jpg

[Texas Chili Dog]

let's go White Sox and Tigers!!

[Spursfan092120]

White Sox coming back...7-9 in the 5th

[Texas Chili Dog]

White Sox coming back...7-9 in the 5th

They wouldn't have had to come back in the first place if they didn't give up a 6 run 3rd inning. :depressed

[Spursfan092120]

They wouldn't have had to come back in the first place if they didn't give up a 6 run 3rd inning. :depressed
I know...ridiculous...Top of the 7th...same score.

[Texas Chili Dog]

also, the Blue Jays blew a 6-3 lead and now trail 12-7 in the 9th to the Rays.

White Sox have the bases loaded in the 7th with two outs.

[dallaskd]

Blalock >>> Davis

[Texas Chili Dog]

White Sox leave the bases loaded. :depressed

[Spursfan092120]

damn..they couldn't get anyone across the plate

[dallaskd]

wow chicago blew that one :lol

hey Tigers are wreckin' so far in the 1st!! Lets get that division!! we've owned LA this year..

[Texas Chili Dog]

so much for the White Sox helping us. Boston blew it open in the 7th. Whoopdie-do about the Tigers. Then Angels never score first. They will probably score four in the next inning or two. I expect it to be 4-1 Angels by the 3rd inning.

[Spursfan092120]

I don't care how we get to the playoffs..I just want to get there..division, wild card...doesn't matter to me.

[dallaskd]

White Sox threatening again in the 8th :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

oh shit, just realized the Angels game is on ESPN2, sweet.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Tigers HR, 3-0.

[Texas Chili Dog]

The Tigers are absolutely unloading on the Angels right now, 10-0 in the 6th.

[Texas Chili Dog]

if the Tigers blow this, I will personally go up to Detroit and burn that city down. It is 10-7 now.

edit: phew, game over. Thank you Tigers.

[Spursfan092120]

Awesome..they finished it off.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Millwood vs Chamberlain tomorrow. Let's go Rangers!!!!

The thing that surprises me is that despite Millwood's good ERA, we are only 12-12 when he starts, and we've lost our last three games with him starting. WTF?

[Chris]

He's being outshined by all the fresh talent but I'm confident he will have a solid game tomorrow. Start Pudge you fuckers!

[Texas Chili Dog]

game on! go Rangers!!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

LOL I love it. Joba Chamberlain throws over to first 3 consecutive times to hold Borbon. Finally throws home, and Borbon successfully steals 2nd. :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

Pudge throws out Jeter trying to steal. Welcome back Pudge!

[Texas Chili Dog]

bad Millwood showed up. :depressed

[Texas Chili Dog]

Thanks to Andrus, we are clawing our way back. Down 4-3 now. Also, Chris Davis has a walk and a single.

[Texas Chili Dog]

yeah!!! 5-4 lead!! Borbon and Young! 2 out rally!

edit: 7-4!!

[dallaskd]

yuhhh fuck the yanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

cheapest HR ever! are you serious????!?!?!

[Texas Chili Dog]

Nellie!

[Texas Chili Dog]

Davis: walk and two singles. Atta baby!

Also, the White Sox have just come from 2-1 down to 3-2 up in the 7th. Go White Sox!!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

A little good, and a little bad.

The good: Michael Young hit a HR to make it 10-5.
The bad: about 20 seconds before that, Jason Bay hit a HR for the Red Sox and they now lead 4-3 in the 8th. :(

[Texas Chili Dog]

fuck!!!!!!!!

[EricB]

Ron Washington is pathetic.

He just leaves these guys in there to get slapped around time and time and time again.

Fuck this shit.

[Texas Chili Dog]

EPIC FAIL bunt right there. That could be HUGE.

[Texas Chili Dog]

OMG!!!!!!!!! win!!!!!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

did Elvis REALLY beat him to 2nd?? wowzers that was close!

[dallaskd]

holy shit that was way to close. Go Tigers!

[EricB]

Lucky for Francisco Andrus is a goddamn stud.

No ground gained tonight but still a good win.

Need Holland to step up tommarow.

[Whisky Dog]

That was the season on the balance. Blow that game in that fashion and drop to 2 1/2 back with 2 more in NY and it might have been season over.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Granderson and Cabrera just both hit solo HRs and tied the Angels 3-3.

[dallaskd]

No ground gained tonight but still a good win.

Not so fast my friend. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIGERS!!!!!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

nice, the Tigers hit back-to-back triples and a sac fly to take a 5-3 lead in the 7th.

[dallaskd]

well shit, let's win this division. the angels are slippin' and we've owned them this year. :fro

[Spursfan092120]

well shit, let's win this division. the angels are slippin' and we've owned them this year. :fro
sounds like a plan, my friend.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Detroit up 5-3 in the 9th. Three more outs, you can do it Tigers!!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

the Tigers held on! Angels lose for the 5th time in 6 days!

[Texas Chili Dog]

happy 21st birthday, Elvis!!!!!!

[sribb43]

did Elvis REALLY beat him to 2nd?? wowzers that was close!

After seeing the replay in slo mo on the DVR it looked like a tie and the runner should have been safe...but great call by the umpire

Tonights games we got

Floyd vs. Wakefield (1st game back from DL)

Jackson vs. Saunders (1st game back from DL)

Those look like very winable matchups...GO RANGERS, WHITE SOX and TIGERS

[BUMP]

its gonna be hard to take another game from the Yankees this series.

They have a stacked team and have been absolutely on fire lately

i'm one of the biggest Ranger fans there is, but i don't see how we're gonna get out of this series without losing atleast 1

[Texas Chili Dog]

the mission is to keep the Yanks under 80 wins by the time we leave New York.

btw, the Angels are already leading 2-0 in the 2nd.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Unfortunately the Tigers couldn't finish off the sweep. Angels won 4-2.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Andrus just pwned ARod. :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

Ortiz hit a walk off HR for Boston. Bad bad day. :depressed

[sribb43]

Fuck.....everyone wins today except us

[Texas Chili Dog]

Fuck.....everyone wins today except us

At the very least, the Rays choked one away.

[DMX7]

I don't know if this is true but someone told me the Texas Rangers have a grand total of 1 playoff victory (not series but game).

So they're playing a team with 26 times more World Series Championships than the Rangers have playoff victories.

[Melmart1]

So what's your point? The Yankees haven't won anything in awhile. The Rangers have a chance. And now without Jason Jennings allowing over half of his inherited runners to score, we might have a better chance.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Chris Davis with the great defensive play followed by the HR. Rangers looking good, hopefully we can finish this off. And without any 9th inning drama.

[Spursfan092120]

Looking good against the Yanks...let's finish this like the McAllister Park kids do.

[Spursfan092120]

:worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy:http://media.pegasusnews.com/img/photos/2009/04/16/ian_kinsler-1_t250.jpg

[Texas Chili Dog]

We're going into the 9th inning with a 5 run lead, just like in the first game. Hopefully there is no heart attack city this time.

[BUMP]

Good win today, finally our offense got going.

Hopefully we start to beat the teams we need to beat from here on out

[Texas Chili Dog]

no drama today baby!

HELLO WIN COLUMN! first home series loss for the Yanks in over two months. GO RANGERS!

[BUMP]

That was a great performance, but its time that we start taking care of business and beat the teams we're supposed to beat in order to make the playoffs.

I don't want to be known as one of those "best teams to never make the playoffs" kind of clubs.

[dallaskd]

I cant imagine seeing the Red Sox sweep chicago. maybe the A's can pull a win out of their ass against the halos..

[dallaskd]

LOL White sox are destroying Boston. 7-0 early..

i dont think the 26 World Series championships have anything to do with this year's playoff race

And for the record, the Rangers would have Way more than 1 playoff victory if we were around 200 years like the Yankees were

[dallaskd]

9-0 white sox :smokin'

And who cares how many rings the yankees have. the rangers have been around since 1971. (not counting when they were in washington, i think). The Yankees moved to New York in 1903. Back then they had less teams and the Yankees had the majority of the talent pool. No team has had NEARLY as much money as the Yankees have had over the years thus their dynasty..The Yanks havnt won a title in 9 years, won their own division in 3, and didnt even make the playoffs last year. Not saying they dont have bragging rights over the Rangers, they do, but still.. that has nothing to do with the current teams and the current playoff race.. Fuck The Yankees.

[Texas Chili Dog]

damn, nice job White Sox. Just don't blow it please. And yeah Oakland...I would be thrilled if y'all pulled a Houdini and beat the Angels. :lol

[Texas Chili Dog]

White Sox win 9-5! Thanks Chicago! :clap

[EricB]

back to 1.5....

[dallaskd]

[Texas Chili Dog]

Trevor Cahill is the fucking man!!!! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/notworthy.gif

He's done after 7 stellar innings. Now it's up to the bullpen. *crosses fingers*

[Texas Chili Dog]

Angels go quietly in the 8th, on to the 9th. FINISH THEM!!!

what do you guys think?

[Texas Chili Dog]

what do you guys think?

I think...no, I KNOW...we will be cheering for the Yankees quite a bit in the last month. They have 14 games left against the Red Sox, Rays, and Angels.

Our next four series are all winnable. If this team means business, then they will take care of business. Twins, Jays, Orioles, and Indians? Texas needs to roll through that two week stretch like they are a playoff caliber team. No more of this beat-the-good-teams-flop-against-the-rest crap. Win and win some more.

[Texas Chili Dog]

apparently the Angels are close to getting Scott Kazmir from the Rays.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4429766

[EricB]

7 games left with the Angels, and only 4 out?

Things might not be lost with the division...

[Texas Chili Dog]

Early report from the Blue Jays-Red Sox game: Aaron Hill hit a 3 run HR for the Jays in the 2nd. Toronto leads 3-0 at Fenway.

GO JAYS!!! I'll have this game on my XM radio while I'm watching the Rangers.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Boston tied the game 3-3 in the 4th, but Toronto came right back in the 5th. Barajas hit a 2 run HR, 5-3 Jays.

[Texas Chili Dog]

fuck!!! about one more foot and this game is tied! ARGH! Murphy was sooooooooo close, damnit!!!!

[BUMP]

:bang

[BUMP]

Come on!

[Texas Chili Dog]

any other ballpark and that is a no doubt HR. Fuck the metrodome and their monster of a fence in right.

[BUMP]

Lets not strike out

[Texas Chili Dog]

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! that wasn't a strike!! FUCK!!!!!!!

[BUMP]

Game ends on a shitty call

Good God, could there a worse game to have to sit through and watch?

[dallaskd]

Hell of a win for the A's and Rangers tonight. :tu

[Texas Chili Dog]

nice job A's!!! I listened to the last inning of the A's-Angels game. Funny how it ended. :lol

the Angels are reallllly struggling right now.

[dallaskd]

We released Jennings and brought up Pedro Strop. We also signed Ryan Freel to a minor league contract yesterday.

[Texas Chili Dog]

We released Jennings and brought up Pedro Strop. We also signed Ryan Freel to a minor league contract yesterday.

Strop actually pitched for us Friday. Got a 1-2-3 8th inning, striking out Mauer first.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Roy Halladay fucking sucks right now. Boston owned him today. Thanks for the help, Jays. The Rangers need to obliterate Toronto this next series. They are so awful.

[Texas Chili Dog]

CJ blows it. Fuck!!!!!!!

[jack sommerset]

They are coming back

[Texas Chili Dog]

Millwood continues to have games blown for him. Just another gut wrenching loss. Bases loaded and no outs and we can't score. Boston won and the Angels are leading. This is like a slow painful death. We need to maul the Jays, bad.

[monosylab1k]

This team sucks!

[Texas Chili Dog]

Fuck the Jays. They have made it their mission to completely fuck us over the last four days. Get swept by Boston and then come here and rape us in the first inning.

[Texas Chili Dog]

:bang

[BUMP]

Comeback!

11-0 now 11-7 :clap

[Texas Chili Dog]

11-0 to start the bottom of the 5th...11-7 now after a Cruz HR. Could this really happen???

[dallaskd]

hell yeah!!! dont doubt these rangers!!

[Spursfan092120]

11-8...keep the merry go round going, boys.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Kinsler RBI, 11-8!

[Spursfan092120]

Young gets K'ed...damnit..

[dallaskd]

HAMBINO! 11-9 baby

[Texas Chili Dog]

11-9!

[Spursfan092120]

faint "Let's go Marlon" chant throughout the ballpark

[Spursfan092120]

Man..I thought that was gone.

[dallaskd]

damn the byrdman almost took that one out!

[Spursfan092120]

damn the byrdman almost took that one out!
Looks like he thought it was gone, too.

[Texas Chili Dog]

arghhhhh, ok well we got 2 more. Still 3 innings left.


Funny little side note: My buddy/roommate came back to the apt just as the Rangers had made it 11-3 in the 5th. When it got to 11-4, I asked him if he thought the Rangers had any hope. He said no, so I asked him what the score needed to be and by what inning for him to believe the Rangers had a chance. His answer: 11-9 by the 7th. Needless to say he's looking at the TV with his mouth hanging open right now. :lol

[Spursfan092120]

Beautiful inning on defense....let's get more runs now.. :D

[Texas Chili Dog]

http://1.media.tumblr.com/34GrgyzUs411p6mqjnMKiydS_400.jpg

[Spursfan092120]

If we can pull this win off ::knock on wood:: this is the kind of comeback that starts a season rally...

[Spursfan092120]

The Ballpark is rocking....keep this up. WTF was he thinking going to back second base?

[Texas Chili Dog]

Murphy....ugh shoulda scored there.

[Spursfan092120]

Damn...I thought that would be gone for sure..oh well...got the sacrifice...11-10

[Texas Chili Dog]

oh my fucking god!!!!! Davis!! ARGH!!!!!! a foot away! fuck!!!!!! 11-10 though...

[BUMP]

:bang

[dallaskd]

oh my god..

[Spursfan092120]

Let's Go El-Vis.. clap clap clap clap clap

[dallaskd]

10-11 going to the 8th. we can do this

[Texas Chili Dog]

That is twice we've nearly missed a home run to make it 12-11. I wasn't surprised by Byrd's staying in the park, but when Davis hit his, I thought it was gone as soon as he hit it.

[Texas Chili Dog]

alright let's doooo thisss!!!!! :clap

[Texas Chili Dog]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EricB]

Good thing they cut Padilla and went with Holland.


I mean if Padilla had stayed he would've wrecked the chemistry and the team might start to tailspin!!!


Oh wait...

[Texas Chili Dog]

13-10 now...fucking ouch. Grilli with the total buzzkill.

[Texas Chili Dog]

18-10?!?!?! are you fucking kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?! wowwwwwwwwwwww

[Melmart1]

Good lawd, what a crazy game. Tomorrow starts a new month with September callups. Let's hope for a better month than August, which was a little too roller coaster-y for my taste.

[Whisky Dog]

Well, made it to September before the season was trashed. Good year, very productive, wish they could have finished better and made the playoffs.


Can't complain, the rangers did what they were supposed to: keep me entertained until Cowboys season starts.

[monosylab1k]

This season was a big step foward, but let's just all be realistic and realize that it's over. Here's to next season being another big step forward :toast

[BUMP]

This season was a big step foward, but let's just all be realistic and realize that it's over. Here's to next season being another big step forward :toast

I always set my expectations low with the Rangers, so when they lose it doesn't really disappoint me. I never really thought they were gonna go to the playoffs.

[Spursfan092120]

I'm not ready to give up quite yet. I think they still have some fire left...

[Texas Chili Dog]

I'm not ready to give up quite yet. I think they still have some fire left...

That's the spirit! GO RANGERS! :clap

holy shit what a beautiful bunt by Elvis. :lol

[Spursfan092120]

That's the spirit! GO RANGERS! :clap
absolutely...what's the best place to get a good price on Cowboys tickets?

[Melmart1]

I haven't given up either. You just never know.

[Texas Chili Dog]

absolutely...what's the best place to get a good price on Cowboys tickets?

I usually use stubhub. But there are some places you can find for cheaper. I use stubhub because it is so reliable. The thing is I don't think there is a site that consistently has the cheapest tickets. One site might have the best prices for one game while another has the best prices for the next game. It really is a crap shoot. That's why I usually just google for tickets, and then look through every single site I can find to see which is the best for the certain game I am looking at.

However, last season, I started getting into the habit of picking up tickets in person to cut down on the costs. There is a DFW ticket source that is a mile away from me that I could purchase tickets at, where I wouldn't have to pay for shipping and any other fees. Also, when I bought tickets for the Ravens game, I got them from a guy on ebay and met with him in person in the area to exchange cash for the tix, again saving myself any fees.

But yeah, definitely look at stubhub, but also just google and you'll find many many sites to browse through. Whenever I look for tickets, I will post on this forum which sites I've noticed are the cheapest.

[BUMP]

I'm still as loyal as they come regarding the Rangers. I'm still gonna watch the games and root for them like hell the rest of the season.

I just don't see them getting in realistically. But if they do, then Sweet!! :elephant

[dallaskd]

believe.

[Spursfan092120]

believe.
yup yup

I know you are, Bumpy..and I know it's freaking hard to root for them as much as we do when all they continue to do is break our hearts. But I'm going to keep coming back like a hot ass ex girlfriend. :)

[Texas Chili Dog]

Good win in the opener, now let's take them both. Red Sox and Rays are starting a big series today. Tied 1-1 right now.

Go Rays...Go M's...Go Rangers. :)

[Texas Chili Dog]

Rays aren't gonna help us it doesn't look like. Boston is up 5-2 and have the bases loaded in the 5th.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Young is out of the game. Oh shit oh shit oh shit

[EricB]

The purse strings better be opened in the offseason for the bullpen and the left field position.

[Spursfan092120]

Texas up 4 nil after 5...

[BUMP]

Wow Mccarthy looks good

[Spursfan092120]

Wow Mccarthy looks good
yeah he does...6 innings 1 hit 2 SO....very impressive.

[Spursfan092120]

Boston up 7-2 in the 8th :(

[Texas Chili Dog]

wow McCarthy came back with a vengeance. Hambone is having a great game, and Davis continues to show he was ready to come back up.

[dallaskd]

Rays got the bases juiced with no outs :fro

[Texas Chili Dog]

yeah, Rays back to 7-4. GO RAYS!!!!

Papelbon is on now though b/c they got scared.

[Spursfan092120]

7-4 Boston..Rays still have the bases juiced...no outs...

[Spursfan092120]

Upton strikes out. :(

[Spursfan092120]

Bartlet up...let's go...

[Spursfan092120]

2-2 count to Bartlett

[Spursfan092120]

damn...lined out

[Spursfan092120]

Crawford's the last hope of the inning.

[Texas Chili Dog]

Rays choke. Burrell fucked up on that 2nd out. He should have scored on a sac fly but he is an idiot.

[Spursfan092120]

damnit...all for nothing.

[dallaskd]

you know.. i dont think we need to scoreboard watch. If the Rangers can just put together some nice win streaks IMO things will take care of themselves.

oh..definitely..it's just nice to get a little help sometimes. :D

[Texas Chili Dog]

nice, two 5-2 wins. Now, GO MARINERS.

[Spursfan092120]

nice, two 5-2 wins. Now, GO MARINERS.
I'll take it..we gain a half game no matter what.

[Texas Chili Dog]

I'll take it..we gain a half game no matter what.

But 1.5 games in one day sounds soooo much better. :D

M's have runners on 1st and 3rd with one out.

[Whisky Dog]

O'Dayyyyyyy....., O'Day O'Day O'Dayyyyy....... O'Dayyyyyyyyyyy..... O'Dayyyyyyyyyy


That was an awesome chant the fans got going. Wish they had another 4 or 5 games left with the Sox

[Texas Chili Dog]

Mariners win!!! SWEET

[Spursfan092120]

Nice...gotta love that. :D

[Texas Chili Dog]

I'm reading some stuff that says Young's injury could be worse than it looked. If he goes on the DL, I might cry. :(

[bostonguy]

Man the Rangers are hanging around. I hope Young is ok. I don't feel comfortable at all with a 4 game lead. Comon Toronto. Help us out. :)

[BUMP]

1 more against Toronto, 3 vs Baltimore, 3 vs Cleveland, 3 vs Seattle, 3 vs Oakland

If Rangers are gonna make any sort of serious run, they will have to take care of business in these games, the schedule is taylor made for them to make a run here and then after this cupcake schedule they have games against LAA. It doesn't get any easier for them.

Anything worse than 10-3 will be unnacceptable....its about time the Rangers dispose of these medicore/sorry teams

[Texas Chili Dog]

Michael Young is out at least two weeks, maybe more. Fuck!!!!! :depressed

[EricB]

They should be able to beat the shit out of those teams without Younger.

[Texas Chili Dog]

King Felix did us a favor and completely shut down the Angels tonight. 8 innings, and he allowed only 4 hits in a shutout. Good job, Mariners! And the Rays are holding a 5-3 lead on the Red Sox. With the Rangers ahead now, this has the potential to a good night.

[dallaskd]

LOL Dale Hansen is a fucking douche.

on the news last night he starts with "well the rangers arent going to make the playoffs this year, but they did what they needed to do today"

anyways, tonight couldnt have gone better! we're climbing back up!

[Spursfan092120]

Tampa is trying to hold of Boston...5-4....we're up 6-4...come on Rays..don't blow this for us...and Rangers...hold on...PLEASE!!

[Texas Chili Dog]

yep, Rays blew it. Tied 5-5 now. ugh

[Spursfan092120]

maybe they can still pull it out.. :) have faith. 6-5 Rays

[Spursfan092120]

8-5 Rays...woohoo...no outs

[Texas Chili Dog]

yeah Rays!!!!! Longoria two run blast! 8-5! :clap

[Spursfan092120]

Damn...had it at 3-0 on the count and he struck out.. :(

[Spursfan092120]

Upton's up...

[Spursfan092120]

Rangers just need to get 3 outs for the win..

[Spursfan092120]

Damn..tagged out at home.

I confiscated by dad's XM radio for this month so I could listen to these games rather than have to watch "in play, out(s) recorded" on mlb gamecast. :lol

Very good article. Feldman is a monster. Oh, and here's to another win tonight for Tampa. :toast

[Texas Chili Dog]

Very good article. Feldman is a monster. Oh, and here's to another win tonight for Tampa. :toast

Thanks, I figured it was a good day to write about that since Feldman has a road start tomorrow. He has been lights out on the road: 10-1 with the one loss being to a NL team. So no road losses against the AL.

and yeah, GO RAYS!!!!!
