Harrison

A continuation of his last start would be very welcome. Two good starts in a row would be some kind of Ranger record

What's the rumpus?

matt will be good. not as good as last start, but still good.

Tomorrow

Is anyone else as eagerly anticipating tomorrow’s game as I am? I’m almost as excited as I was in Hurley’s and Harrison’s ML debuts. if BMac can look good in his last few starts that will allow the Front Office to have some semblance of hope and maybe not go out and blow the farm up with a crazy trade or moneywhip some mediocre pitchers…

What's the rumpus?

Speaking of the Indians

Former Cardinal Prospect Anthony Reyes has fired 3 straight quality starts since joining the Tribe. Just as many suspected, a change of scenery has done him very well so far.

I needed a laugh

and checked out the Sawx blog. I few tidbits:

1) You’ll never guess who the BoSox are comparing Clay Buchholz with: Johan. They are comparing Buchholz recent troubles and subsequent send down much in the same way that Johan got rocked his rookie season. Ummm… no? I haven’t watched Clay pitch at all this season but methinks that the league is just figuring him out after his no-no. He now has to adjust. But I think, and I might be wrong, that it is FAR to early to compare him to Johan.
Johan’s rookie numbers: 86 IP, 6.49 ERA, 1.81 WHIP, 51 K, 44 BB, 11 HR
By Boston’s logic, the Rangers are saved and there is no need to fear for our pitching staff. We have a whole slew of rookie Johans on our staff!

2) They call the Angels the Los Angeles Angels of Marketing Gimmick. As stupid as it is, I lol’d a bit.

3) They are employing a thing called a Pythagorean record (although interesting) to reinflate their egos. They can’t stand being second in their division and third in the AL. According to the Pythagorean record, they have the best record in the AL. They can’t stand the Rays whuppin their butts so they are using this to justify what they have known all along. Check it out. I lol’d a bit… again.

". . .a thing called a Pythagorean record. . ."

It’s actually extremely useful. And part of why I think the Red Sox are the best team in the AL.

Oh

and they are concerned that about trading Buchholz to the A’s or O’s.

Seems to undermine any sense of superiority that they throw up in front of themselves.

Incidentally...

The sports talk stations down here in Houston have been ablaze with excitement over tonight’s “rivalry” game.

This afternoon, one of the hosts on 610 acknowledged that the Texans and Cowboys teams don’t really have a rivalry, but that the fans hate each other.

I contemplated calling in and saying, “No, Texans fans hate Cowboys fans. Cowboys fans don’t think about the Texans fans.”

The attempt by Houstonians to make the Cowboy/Texan thing a mutual “rivalry”, rather than one-way, is bizarre.

In my experience. . .

. . . that is correct. The only couple Texans fans I know would admit it, too.

Cruz back.

Did I miss this?

Oklahoma got a familiar face back Thursday, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Right fielder Nelson Cruz returned from his stint on the disabled list with a strained left quadriceps. Cruz has spent the last two weeks in Arizona on a rehab assignment until he was given the all-clear to return to the field last night. He flew to Oklahoma City early Thursday.


"It feels awesome to be back here," Cruz said. "It’s amazing to be here with these guys. I’m happy to be back."

Cruz went 1-for-4 in Oklahoma’s 5-2 loss to Iowa on Thursday night at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark. Cruz needs one more home run to tie Dave Roberts’ all-time Oklahoma City Triple-A record of 38 set in 1965. Cruz hit the ball hard in his first at-bat, driving it to the right-field fence before it was caught for an out. He said he began turning the corner physically about five days ago.

At 5 o’clock, it was looking like I might not be here tonight, based on a “I’ll call you back in 30-60 minutes.” Never called back. Gamethread it is.

I’m typically not one to second-guess the manager, but I really don’t like pulling Milton there. If we’re going to have a chance tonight, Milt’s spot will come up again in the 9th.
