Rangers looking to get back over .500

[Horn@AC]

Travis Metcalf playing third tonight for the Rangers.

not sure, but pulling Mathis at this point might help...

 

[Genco]

Can someone please explain the affection for Grady Sizemore? It bugs me everytime we play the Indians, I hear someone praising Sizemore as though he is a phenominal talent. What am I missing?

 

[Horn@AC]

Wasn't smart to leave in Mathis with bases loaded and his buddy Blake up. What did Wash expect the third time?

 

[RunRickyRun34]

Not a good day for Mathis and Metcalf. Is Vasquez hurt?

 

[killer b's]

Only 3 hits all year off of this dude by lefties and tonight Josh Hamilton has 2 including a 2 run donk. Dude is pretty good.

 

[jmann09]

i think metcalf is in to face the lefty. i haven't kept up with the transactions lately, but i'm guessing duran got optioned

 

[jmann09]

MARLON!!!

 

[Horn@AC]

GRAND SLAM MARLON BYRD!!!!

 

[Horn@AC]

Absolutely nuked to right center keep the runs coming! 8-8 Bottom 5.

 

[RunRickyRun34]

Big shot by Byrd. That's the type of hit that doesn't happen in year's past for this club. I'm not saying this is a playoff team yet, but they sure are a lot more fun to follow.

 

[killer b's]

Put that in your pipe *******.

 

[Horn@AC]

Marlon is in the zone tonight. I think he wants to play a little more.

 

[Horn69]

We scored 8 and lost yesterday and could potentially again tonight. The offense is great fun to watch but it is masking the pitching problems.

Hook'em!!!

 

[jmann09]

marlon made that catch interesting

 

[killer b's]

Sure would be nice to get Tejeda pitching solid.

Not a great return for Metcalf tonight.

 

[jmann09]

there we go benoit. 1 pitch, 2 runs

 

[Horn@AC]

Ron Washington out guesses himself and puts in a new pitcher after a strikeout trying to get the righty matchup and benoit grooves a first pitch fastball that is nuked.

 

[Horn@AC]

Benoit throws like a ***** until he gets pissed. Unfortunately it takes him a homerun to get pissed.

 

[jmann09]

the hamilton nickname contest needs to stop

 

[jmann09]

what a garbage call, on a good AB too. good thing milton wasn't in the box on that one, could have gotten ugly

 

[Horn@AC]

Byrd is stroking the ball good at bat, drew a well earned walk

 

[Horn@AC]

Thata boy Shelton!

 

[jmann09]

well benoit is pure garbage tonight. serving up hot ones on the 1st pitch usually doesn't work out well joaquin

 

[Dewbrewer]

Darn Dellucci.....crap.

 

[RunRickyRun34]

pretty pathetic couple of games by the pitching staff
