Lester's in the zone.

I’d rather it be 1-0 with both pitchers looking good than 5-4 with both looking bad.

Meh

the Rangers are a streaky bunch of hitters.

I’ve seen many a game where we’re down, mop up comes in and allows runs that seemingly don’t matter, but the hitters wake up in the 8th or 9th, only to fall a run or 2 short.

That drives me almost as mad as walking the bottom of the order.
