We need to put a good month long stretch together as we're playing some weak teams. I really hope we but a 18-7 kind of run together.

It's really hard for Colby to go a game without giving up a homerun! :)

Difficult or impossible? I really don't care as long as its the solo variety if that's all he gives up.

Nice to get the series started with a big win over their ace. Oswalt also had a decent outing it looks like. Threw. 85 pitches, 55 for strikes. (though I think he may have wasted some pitches to get his work in), 5 hits, 3 ER, 1bb, no hr's.

We're not the only team whose manager makes questionable decisions. Scoscia just left Jerome Williams in too long (over 100 pitches) and his night came completely unraveled in the bottom of the 8th. They started the inning up 2-1 and it's now 5-2 Dodgers. Dodgers just need to hold the 3-run lead in the 9th and the Rangers are back to a 4-game lead in the loss column. Great day for the Rangers!!

I've said for a long time that Sciosia isn't nearly as good a manager as he gets credit for. In fact, I've seen him make several downright terrible calls.

Nah. They'll give him one more start at AAA at least. He only got through 3.1 innings, which didn't surprise me with him trying to get his work in. He had two clean innings and then an error and a couple walks ate him up. Hopefully it all comes together in his next start.

Oswalt had a crummy outing and he admitted it himself.

The ump missed the call as Gordon was out trying to steal second so the inning should have been over. Bring on Frieri in the ninth and the Angels win that game.

I do agree that after Ellis walked, Williams should have been pulled.

He's going to have show more at the minor league level before he's turned loose at the MLB level. The thing about last nights outing was that it was against AA hitters.

I saw that play, and Gordon's hand was in before the tag. The ump got it right.

Yup. Next start he needs to be putting it all together and have a solid outing at the AAA level.

Wrong call in my opinion here. Matt is dealing and its Very likely this game goes extra innings and Arizona's pitcher isn't going anywhere for at least another inning.

I am with you and it seems like many of these late game changes by Wash have not gone our way so far this year
