Well, we've got a 4-run lead

And Rupe pitched the 9th inning quite a few times back in spring training… I don’t know. I don’t get this either.

It is CJ

I was totally thrown off by Nadel.

I really hope he comes in.

It’s being a little too cutesy to save him- the closer is supposed to close.

I can't believe this combination

We are winning AND dumping the trash left and right.

Usually we either win a couple games in a row, and the scrubs get to stay, or we have to lose 15 strait before someone gets DFA’d

Now we are winning, and dropping our spare parts. Its amazing, and I love it.

i don't think he has much to do with the winning

but that just proves that he didn’t have much to do with the losing. I really thought the Rangers had to fire him to get out of their rut – and then all of a sudden they just started winning.

ya

the Rangers can clearly win under Wash. Let’s just see if they can keep it up!

I think it was the fear

of another 15-37 or so start.

There is no such thing as global warming. David Murphy was cold, so he turned the sun up.

by SarasotaRanger on May 10, 2008 8:37 AM CDT up reply actions  

I think one of the biggest factors in this good play

has been the defense. Very few errors, if any, but more importantly no bone-headed plays that don’t get recorded as errors.

donate some of that hair to McLemore. They would both be better off.

he gets the job done

sinkers that hover around 91-92. He actually had a lot of control issues early on, but he also didn’t give up a hit till the 5th. just kept the ball away from the hitters

BTW, he loves to watch Sir Sidney pitch…says he learns a bunch from him.

by Rodney on May 9, 2008 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

ya definitely had control issues

but it almost seemed like it was simply because his ball had so much movement on it.

"My death certificate will probably say: 'Cause of Death: World Series.'" Jamey Newberg

by boomer1 on May 9, 2008 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

he was scarey early on

with 4 walks in the first 2 or 3 innings.

but the a’s just couldnt hit anything hard off him. it wasnt lucky smashes to fielders, it was a lot of popups and soft groundouts.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

by DShep on May 9, 2008 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

go watch all of the boggs highlights

and make sure you start with the dive into the wall. in the first inning. played the whole game after the dive

FWIW about Hurley.....

He has now thrown 42 innings and has 50 K’s…... he leads all of AAA….....second place has 43…......

there is some three true outcomes in him

which is odd for a pitcher

At least until Salty pulls himself out of his little slump. He’s really been dissapointing so far.

Randy Richardson said they were in the starting lineup with TOR tonight. Shrek goes 0 for 2 with a walk and strike out at DH. Box score said Matt Stairs was a PH for him at 0 for 1. Whiffy McWhifferson went 1 for 3 with an SO. It was against Sabathia who was on tonight. 1 ER on 6 hits through 7 with 9 SOs and 2 walks.

But judging from the

media reports (Thank you, Dallas Observer) he’s still on the hot seat. For the stability of this team, I hope that Richie Whitt was wrong. Wash has screwed some things up, but I still pull for the guy and want this to be a good hire. Much like a trade, you don’t know for a couple years.
