Delays this morning, the result of internet hiccups at the office stemming from the hurricane...
The win was nice, and puts the Rangers 4 games ahead of Oakland and 3 games below .500, but Brandon McCarthy coming out with a strained flexor tendon is just one more frustrating, maddening event vis-a-vis the ongoing pitching problems. Richard Durrett says McCarthy likely will need surgery and will probably not pitch again this season.
Taylor Teagarden continues to impress. Sample size and all that, but I have to think he's positioning himself to make a claim on the starting catching job next season.
