Woo! KC up 5-3 in game 2

by PatrickWalz on Aug 18, 2006 10:20 PM CDT

This may not deserve its own diary, but as there isn't a KC-Oakland Diary up...

KC just scored 4 in the 8th to take a 5-2 lead. 3 more outs and Texas is back within 5.5 games.

Incredible that KC could be about to sweep a twin-bill against the mighty A's.

This kills me...

Every time you think the Rangers are out of it...

I just hope they can stay within 5-6 games coming out of this Detroit series.

JINX!!!!

If they lose I'm tracking you down and shoving you in a coal plant to suck on SOX and NOX you hippie. :)

5.5 games out.

6 back

in the loss column certainly feels better than 8, that's for sure.

Awesome

Just saw this on ESPN.com.

Great news for us.

Wild Card

Weren't we closer to the wild card (I think 5,5 back) recently?

Chicago

is currently in the wc lead, and we're like 10 games back of them

Guess not

Must have misheard that. We are at least 10-11 back of Chicago for one.

I'm officially a Royals fan now

If they could just beat them a couple more times this weekend, and we eke out a win from "Lil Jon" Koronka or In-a-Teja-Da-Tejeda, we'll be in good straits...

It feels like the Mariners are 0-80 against the...

West this year.

10-29 is the official number

Appears to be getting close to 10-30. Brutal.

The way the Rangers were playing at the end of July, I really thought they'd be the ones to roll over. But, to their credit they haven't yet. Seattle's gone from respectable to laughing stock in no time flat.

The future is an infinite succession of presence.

In a battle of ..

former Rangers who were objects of trades which sucked for the Rangers and helped the team to which they were traded, Esteban German, who was traded for Fabio Castro and is hitting .325, drove in a key run against Justin Duchscherer. Go Royals! Sweep.

Esteban German/Fabio Catsro

That was a really good trade for the Rangers.

German -> Castro -> Haigwood

I agree. Its a good trade to make from the talent coming versus going (I'd have found a way to hang onto Castro).

But the return they got from the Phillies could be pretty good. With the exception of a very bad July, Daniel Haigwood looks like he could be a prospect. He needs to cut down on the walks, but he's still plenty young enough to learn to do that. His K/9 is very encouraging.

German had no room to advance here.
