More important than the game?

Yeah...sadly

I want to punch Darren Oliver in the face.

Gotta say for the concern of Cole going from NL to AL he's actually been as good or better in the AL.

 

[romeo212000]

Tha fuck? Now Feliz starts throwing 98 again?

What's wrong with this offense...they hit a good starter and are shut down by a bad bullpen.

Lol. See what you did there.

If the Rangers don't go at least 3-2 on this road trip, it's a disappointment. They aren't facing quality teams and they have games with Houston and Seattle coming up.

Just enjoy the fucking win tonight, huh?

And considering how long he has been pitching he is still as good if not better than ever.

Cole is a pitcher as opposed to these high leverage hurlers. He looks like he is aging well. It is really artistry

That thought went thru my head as I was typing that post last night so I agree.

It was good to see Diekman's velocity up with good results the last couple of games.

You never know with pitchers. Remember Cliff Lee. We can all enjoy Cole's greatness while we can though.

This from Scott Lucas this morning about Chi Chi.

"A fourth consecutive decent-or-better outing from Gonzalez, last night the best yet. Ideally, he'll earn the opportunity for low-leverage innings with the big leaguers in September. Don't give up on him yet."

After seeing the demise of Luke Jackson as a starter it would be easy to give up on Chi Chi.

Not sure my interest level in him, but if he became a Ranger and managed to be productive or have some good AB's vs the Astros, wouldn't it be fun to see more whining from Jeff about it

Por que?

Wouldn't that be the ultimate kick in the balls for Houston though if he rakes?
