Ranger & Rox

[jta4437]

Until tonight, the club had a run of 175 consecutive games in which it used a starting pitcher that had made his major-league debut with the Rangers.

Dave Bush was the last, and Oswalt breaks that streak.

That's a good point ... really shows the value of TEX homegrown rotation through all but Bush's few uninspiring starts last season. I think before Bush the last "foreign" guy was Rich Hardon.

Hope Oswalt has a better legacy for his time in the TEX rotation than those 2 guys.

Only thing I can figure is Beltre's hamstring is acting up just a little

Cliff Lee perhaps?

We can only hope. If we just get another colby Lewis I'd be thrilled.

Ha, no, I was referring to the last Ranger before Dave Bush to start a game for us that was "foreign"

Of course you are right. I guess for some reason Hardon put a more indelible mark on my brain than Lee did.

Well actually Hardon is from Canada. Course Lee is from 20 miles down the road from me in Benton Arkansas.

Must be preoccupied this afternoon, thats an easy drop for you

Almost a good save there, but you put foreign in quotes haha

Yea am preoccupied ... but your point was so good about TEX home grown talent I didn't think for the 5 seconds that it should have taken to remember Lee. Plus while he was here ... I was in more pain with Hardon in the "rotation" ... that's why his name popped up so quickly.

Yeah I can't take the cred for that one, i read it somewhere

More impressive is Tampa Bay, there's is 234 and counting

I forget just how mediocre lee was until the playoffs when we had him.

Bingo

 

[romeo212000]

Here we go!!!

 

[romeo212000]

Good start.

 

[romeo212000]

Beltre goin' oppo. That's when you know he's locked in.

 

[romeo212000]

Got hit hard a couple times there. Hopefully he'll get back in rythm pretty quick.

 

[romeo212000]

Torrealba is so slow...

Maybe if he ran on his toes instead of heel-to-toe he could've actually scored there. Terrible slide too.
