Rangers vs A's

Rangers take the lead 4-3 and have runners on the corners in bottom of 8th :)

That loud sound you hear from out west is Dodgers fans laughing once again at Gagne. Still never understood how he managed to escape all the steroid talk. If ever anyone should've been under suspicion it would've been him.

There is no part of our lineup that's scary. They all equally suck at hitting. This is the worst team we've trotted out there in a decade. At least the rest of the division is equally mediocre.

Kinsler only one hitting good to start and G. Laird is a .250 and below hitter.

Well I'm not really feeling all that confident about the hitting lineup. Right now Mark Ellis leads the team in RBI's. That's embarrassing. Swisher and Chavez can combine for about 60-70 homers, but neither hits for any kind of average. All those walks are nice, but it doesn't mean as much when you're hitting less than .250 as a starting point to add those walks into your OBP. The biggest mistake made by Oakland was building around Chavez and not Tejada.

I don't even want to go into the black hole that the catcher position is. Kendall has ONE, count em ONE, homerun since the beginning of the 2005 season. That's 1213 AB's with one homer. Seriously how is that even humanly possible to pull that off?
