Don't worry
I predict we will be 3 up after this series with Houston. We win 2 of 3 and the Angels lose 2 of 3 in LA
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
I like your thinking, good sir!

From TR:
It is 2:45 p.m. at Minute Maid Field.
- Jon Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer is blaring on the loudspeaker
- Every single Rangers position player except Omar Vizquel is on the field for early batting practice. Michael Young is among them. He doesn’t often come out for early BP
- Scott Feldman, Derek Holland, Kevin Millwood and Brandon McCarthy are taking batting practice.
- Josh Hamilton is running sprints in the outfield. No word yet if he’s in the lineup.
- They are closing the roof at Minute Maid Park.
- They are running the price of energy stocks and oil commodities on the right field message board. Anadarko Pete appears to be down but Carrizo Oil & Gas is up.
Sigh ... we are sooo gonna suck again next season.

Wonder why Millwood is taking BP

maybe he is trying to show up Davis

Millwood has NL experience.......
If they get into one of those crazy NL-style games where teams run out of bench players by the 9th or 10th inning, Millwood would be the 1st option as an emergency pinch-hitter, I’d guess.
The Astros
Yet another reason to root against them tonight: their PA guy is playing Bon Fucking Jovi.

Quit being a pessimist Adam.
A few days ago you were saying that you believed. Don’t lose the faith.
I still believe.

There are still too many questions
Adam made some valid arguments regarding our offensive identity. z also brings up that we are one injury away from Mendoza or Benson in the rotation. I don’t see a positive in that, but if i was told before the season that we would be 23 – 17, in first place, approaching the last week of May, I would take that. Of course, the Angels have just gotten healthy, and we are now hurting. This is going to be the defining month for this season (until next month :P).

and our bullpen sucks
with all that said, i still believe we have a shot at the AL West. It is a very long season

What's our record against Houston over the past 2-3 years
Haven’t we just dominated them as of late?

I realize that everything works together and all that, but…does the quad on the non-pushoff leg really have the ability to cause that much of a problem for a pitcher?

How come all the streaks say Lost 0 in a row?
Hopefully it is a good sign of starting over after leaving Detroit.
Can I ask the magic 8-ball a question?
Okay..
Magic 8 Ball,
Will I get to go to another Rangers game this season?

Is anyone else...
just sitting around counting down the minutes until Holland’s start?… Maybe it’s because I didnt have to go to work today, but I have been anticipating this game all day, kind of scary/sad…hopefully he doesn’t let me down.
Derek Holland debuts in less than 2 hours
Definitely less than 2 hours to Derek Holland.

Over how many innings?
Assuming he goes 5, I say push.

Why not? Because he's never played but for 1/2 inning
and for two, Crush’s numbers aren’t bad against righties.

plays well?
there is absolutely no way he can play well enough there to warrant davis being sent down
the defense is going to suffer dramatically if they ask jones to take over 1st base long term
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
My thoughts exactly!

Ron couldn't decide whether he wanted to be lambasted for leaving CD out of the lineup or benching the team leader in HR's
So he decided to kill our infield defense instead.
