Although we're 4-4 in games against Felix and Iwakuma, I sure don't like having to face both of again in their home park.

But GO RANGERS anyway

Will be a tough series as always but just take 2 of 3 and that will be fantastic.

I'll take that and head for the airport in a heartbeat.

If the playoffs started today, who would be your 1-4 starters; in order?

Today?

Darvish, Holland, Garza, Perez

That could easily change by the end of the season though. If Perez continues to impress and garza continues to be uninspired I could go switch Perez and garza.

I'm with ya 100%. Darvish and Holland are absolute, "what's there to think about?" But Evan Grant said in today's DMN, Darvish and GARZA would be 1-2. I read it twice to make sure I was understanding the rather simple statement. Sure enough, that's it.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Evan grant is always wrong.

Thank goodness for Houston and Anaheim. They have helped the Rangers go from being 2 games over .500 to 20. 22-4 VS those two and 53-51 vs everyone else. Thanks Astros and Angels.

With all the adversity this team has gone through, I tip my hat to them. Upon further review, we have have won season series against the Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees, and lead against the A's and TB. We are down to the Indians and the O's. It is quite a feat to be so far ahead in our division in wins given those teams know us well. When in the playoffs all things are new so if we face the Indians or O's I think we will do fine.

It is worth noting the Rangers played the Red Sox/Tigers when Berkman was fresh and playing well. But I agree with you on the amount of adversity this team has faced; continues to face actually.

May have had Berkman fresh/healthy but SPs are stronger now. And I do not believe Berkman's Sept return will change the offense that much.

I hope he proves you wrong but I agree with you.

Yeah, RR has only 5 more games left all on the road.

Eric Nadel spent the weekend telling people that Yu won't be great til he develops killer instinct.

LOL. Wonder if Durrett was talking with him:

Sounds like they may have been talking. Durrett was a little hard on Darvish.

JJT wrote the same thing. It's like they are expecting 1968 Bob Gibson.

Saw where Luke Jackson threw 5 innings for Frisco last night and gave up 3 hits and 1 run while striking out 7 and walking 1. Odor got his 5th double and 5th homer. Has a few errors though. But he is showing some pop as he was a doubles machine at Myrtle Beach.
