So...

Todd Wills provides the Rapid Reaction to the Rangers' sloppy 4-2 loss where the 'gers finished getting swept by the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend.

Master Tesfatsion recaps the game and series; a series which saw the Rangers commit dozens of errors, go like 1 for 78 with runners in scoring position, and leave 226 runners on base. Also, Gary Pettis ripped off his mask and revealed himself to be David Freese.

Jeff Wilson's game story focuses on curing your depression with immersion therapy.

Wills writes that the Rangers need to move on from this "uncharacteristic" weekend or failing to trade for Matt Garza will be the least of their troubles.

Speaking of Garza, Gerry Fraley notes that Thrusday's starter in the finale of the upcoming four game series with the Yankees is currently undecided. Your options: Ross Wolf, Justin Grimm, or Josh Lindblom.

Tesfatsion tackles the MLB.com Notebook and reports on Matt Harrison's progress, Alexi Ogando's availability, and other items.

Drew Davison has notes on Yu Darvish and Ogando returning from the DL, some injury updates on various pitchers, and an update on Lance Berkman's status.

Lastly, MLB.com's Josh Vitale previews tonight's contest between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers. It's Yu Darvish day. Let's play a game where we guess which member of the offense, defense, or coaching staff will ruin an otherwise great outing from Darvish.
