Friday morning Rangers stuff

So, that Yu Darvish, huh? He's something else...

Drew Davison's game story talks about Yu Darvish's dominating 14 K performance and how he compares to others around the league and historically.

Anthony Andro's game story is about Darvish as well, with quotes from his teammates and Ron Washington about his remarkable game.

Evan Grant writes that performances like the one Darvish had yesterday are becoming "mundane."

Todd Wills has his Rapid Reaction at the ESPN Dallas blog.

Master Tesfatsion's game story is about -- you guessed it -- Yu Darvish.

Richard Durrett writes that the trade deadline wasn't a failure for the Rangers, even though they didn't add that bat everyone acknowledges they need.

The New York Times has a piece in which the author suggests that MLB's heavy-handedness in prosecuting Alex Rodriguez is doing what once seemed impossible -- making ARod seem sympathetic.

The S-T's notes talk about Lance Berkman not being ready to retire just yet, Nelson Cruz's imminent suspension, and Colby Lewis being close to returning to the major league rotation.

The notes from the Rangers website hit on Berkman, Cruz, and the minor league promotions.
