G59: Rangers lose 7th in a row; to Expos, 13-10

Posted by on at http://www.mlb.com/news/gameday_recap.jsp?ymd=20030606&content_id=359368&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=tex>MLB.com Recap

I listened to the beginning of this game, but I was on my way to get my hair cut this evening, and when I got there, I stopped. I came back out, turned the car on, and we had just gone down 13-4, so I didn’t bother to listen to any more of the game. I probably should have, as we scored 6 more runs, but didn’t win. Oh well, major slide – I didn’t think we’d slide this much when we were within one game of 500. /me sighs.
Anyway, I was a bit bummed, but I understood why we traded Ruben Sierra yesterday. We’re trying to get younger, and he wasn’t doing what he was supposedly here for (offense off the bench). He did take some shots at us on the way out of town, but I can’t imagine he’ll get a lot more playing time in New York – I think Ruben thinks he should be top of the line every day player, and I don’t think he’s that good anymore. Oh well. Maybe in a couple of years if he’s still around, he could do a Rickey Henderson and come back for a fourth go around. :)

G58: Rangers lose yet again to Atlanta, 8-4

Another game I didn’t get to listen to, as I was working. I caught some of it, but I was distracted by work, so I hardly even remember any details.
I will say this. From what little I remember, Victor Santos didn’t do too bad. Didn’t set the house on fire, but he didn’t “Chan Ho Park” up the joint, either. :)

G57: Rangers lose again to Braves, 5-2

Sigh. Actually, I thought all I was going to write was Greg Maddux’ name. He was absolutely dominating until the 7th inning when he became a bit human and gave up two runs (almost three, but Juan was thrown out at the plate on a nice play by the Braves D). Maddux needed something like 48 pitches to get through 6 innings – rather amazing in this day and age.
John Thomson was – well, John Thomson. He wasn’t horrible, but he wasn’t great, either. And with Maddux on the other side, giving up the runs we did was too many, unfortunately.

G56: Rangers lose 6-5 to Atlanta

Sigh. Another game that we looked to be winning, we lost. This looked like last year’s bullpen, tell you the truth. We’ve now lost 4 in a row, and are 6 under .500. Remember a few games back when we got to within one game of 500? I said it was time for a slide? Looks like I was right. :(
