Frustrations, Frustrations.

The Rangers offense has been horrible the past few games. We only got 1, count it 1 hit off of the Padres. Because of this we have to go into a series with the Angels on a losing streak against one of the worst teams in baseball. However much this is frustrating, I am not as frustrated as I thought. Because even though the Rangers have been doing very good so far, no one ever thought that we would be where we are today. Everyone thought this year was the last rebuilding year before we actually started to contend. We were supposed to bring up some of our prospects this year and get them some experience and then next year we would be in the division race. Well good old Nolan Ryan made sure we would be in contention this year. He got Kevin Millwood to get in shape so he can go longer in games. He scared Vicente Padilla out of his lack-luster-starting days by putting him on waivers. He also gave Scott Feldman a chance in the rotation, which in return Feldman gave us several quality starts and wins. Well I am content with this year and when Josh Hamilton gets back, maybe our offense will follow the path of our pitching at the beginning of the year. After all, in Rudy I trust.

Starting Pitching

So we are in need of some starting pitching on account of Matt Harrison being put on the DL. This brings the need to trade for it before the deadline. I however, don't think we need to go outside of the organization to find pitching. We have plenty of young, and old, talent waiting to be brought up from the minors. We acquired Orlando Hernandez not to long ago, so if you don't use him that was a waste of money that could have been used to pay some other starting pitcher. Well, the Rangers are tied with the Padres right now, 0-0, so GO RANGERS!

Moving Forward

Hopefully after the loss yesterday to the lowly Padres, we can move on tonight and get a win. One bright spot from yesterday was that Chris Davis hit his 15th homer of the season. It was a bomb to center field. The other Ranger runs came from back to back RBI doubles from Andruw Jones and Michael Young. Anyway, a few bad breaks that go our way and that game was ours yesterday. Well We'll see what tonight brings. GO RANGERS!

2nd Place

Well, the first place streak has ended. The Angels have caught up to us and we are now in second place. Unless we turn it around tomorrow this could be a bad sign.

Harrison on DL

Well, the Rangers are putting Harrison on the DL again.  That really messes up our rotation.

Grrr.... Angels

Well the Angels won today, thus tying them for first place with the Rangers. Hopefully the Rangers can come back tonight and get a win.
