Fun stats at the ASB

Ok, raise your hand if you had predicted the following:

>95 RBI for Hamilton on the season

>6 MAJOR LEAGUE home runs for Chris Davis on the season

>10 MAJOR LEAGUE wins from the combination of Eric Hurley, Josh Rupe, Doug Mathis, Warner Madrigal, Luis Mendoza, Matt Harrison, and A.J. Murray this season?  Well, this one we might have, but there are some names we didn't expect to hear from.

Note that we've accomplished all of these by the All Star Break.  Also, we've gotten 80 games of MVP performance from Milton Bradley, we've seen  14 rookies (9 pitchers, 5 hitters), and most importantly, 50 wins!

Most important stat

is the # of days on the DL. Way too many injuries this year.

Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.

At least

to be positive about the injuries, we were able to see what some of our young kids could do. It, at the very least, gets you a little, me A LOT, excited about the future!!!
Bring on the seond half!!!1 Give me 46W and 40L the rest of the year and im stoked!!

ASG

TheTexas Rangers became the first team in major league history to have three different players steal a base in an All-Star Game. OF Milton Bradley, OF Josh Hamilton and 2B Ian Kinsler each stole one base in the game.

Dead last in ERA???

I feel like a few people around here predicted that.

"10 major league wins"

The fact that all of those guys have had to pitch this year is not a good thing.

Let me have a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it fast I'm in a God damned hurry!

...number of times the Rangers have been shut-out this year…

that might be the most impressive.
