G100: Rangers sweep DH with 5-2 win over O’s

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).

All I’ll say is Thank you Red Sox for Justin Duchscherer!

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.

G97: Pat Mahomes gives up slam; Rangers lose 7-4 to Tampa

Posted by on at

I started off watching this game on TV at home, then had to go to the office. When I got to the office, our Jeckyll & Hyde pitcher, Pat Mahomes gave up a grand slam. Blech. After that I didn’t really care anymore, and started listening to the Phillies / Mets game on the Internet. :)

G96: Rangers lose ugly and great game to Rays, 2-1

Posted by on at

What an ugly, ugly game. What a great, great game.
I was watching this and was utterly shocked that Darren Oliver was perfect through 5+ innings. I actually started to think that he might pitch something special, and then he lost perfect, no hit, & shutout all at once with a solo home run given up in the 6th. He also gave up another solo home run later on, but pitched an 8 inning complete game, losing 2-1. Darren gave up only three hits the whole game, but unfortunately, two were solo home runs.
And, the Rays shut us down even more, allowing only a single Ranger run. I felt really really bad for Darren Oliver. This kind of pitching may have increased his stock for a trade. I wouldn’t mind trading away that moeny, and giving some of it to Pudge, as the papers this morning are starting to sound ugly about the possibility of Pudge being out of here.
Again, a very annoying loss, but a great great baseball game.

Rogers done, postponments in Baltimore

Posted by on at

Kenny Rogers will have surgery next week and be out for the season. This will be the first time that Kenny has been on the DL. Details here.
The Baltimore series ended up being a mess due to that train derailment in Baltimore. We were supposed to play three games there, we only played one. No clue when the remainder will be made up – although it would be nice for them to be made up the day after the season so Cal can end his career in Baltimore.

Second game of doubleheader postponed

Posted by on at

BALTIMORE (TICKER) — The second game of the Baltimore Orioles’ day-night doubleheader with the Texas Rangers has been postponed due to a train derailment near the stadium that has forced the evacuation of the ballpark.
Citing the derailment and potential hydrochloric acid spill, the Orioles postponed Wednesday’s game just hours after the completion of a 6-4 loss in the opener.
Wednesday’s night game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Thursday. The first game is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. with the night game getting underway at 7:05 p.m.
Pitching matchups for both games have not been detailed.
