That is freakin' awesome to look at

on July 9. I will absolutely need new pants if they take 3 of 4 from Seattle.

I'm going to be a Yankee fan this weekend as well

hopefully, the Angels get swept by the Yankees with their lineup hurting.

If the world were perfect

There’d be some obscure baseball rule that could allow both the Yankees and Angels to lose all 3?

Conversely

I’ll need a rope if they lose 3/4 or get swept.

I'm at the point again where I'll be disappointed if we don't take 3 of 4 from the M's

Which probably means I’m destined to be disappointed. Seems like everytime this team lets me get this confident, they do something to remind me they’re still the Rangers that same day or weekend.

Well, if you need help managing expectations:

Hunter vs. Hernandez: Edge Seattle
Feldman vs. Morrow: Edge Texas
Millwood vs. Washburn: Toss up
Nippert vs. Bedard: Edge Seattle

Maybe I set my expectations too low, but I’ll be content if we split the series.

by cjcheng on Jul 9, 2009 12:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'd agree

I’m already anticipating losses against Felix, Bedard and maybe Morrow.

Morrow has been improving as a starter

His stuff was filthy last time out against Boston.

by LiamP on Jul 9, 2009 3:52 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

...and looking back, I find my fears confirmed, as usual.

And people wonder why I’m not all flowers and sunshine sometimes, even when we’re leading.

I wonder how LAA feels right now

Do the Rangers finally have the whammy on them? To me, this is the strangest part of this year. This team seems to win the “big” game.

Inter-league Records

Texas 9-9
LAAA 14-4
Seattle 11-7
Oakland 5-13

Record minus Inter-league Play

Texas 38-27
LAAA 32-33
Seattle 32-34
Oakland 30-35

I now officially hate inter-league games. A six game lead would be nice.

For the hundredth time

The timing of the interleague play coincided with LAA getting hot. They did not win because of interleague play. I have seen variations of your post here far too many times in the last month.

You must have me confused with someone else. These are my first comments about inter-league records.

Since you are tired of discussing the issue, I’ll spare you my opinion.
