OK, I am not going to be around for another few hours but thought I would go ahead and start a game thread.
Starting for the Rangers is CJ Wilson the staff ace. Starting for Oakland is the former Ranger and original Mr. Glass Brandon McCarthy who vigorously defended Michael Young from that boorish blogger from Minny. Kudos to Brandon who got a bad wrap from a lot of Ranger fans, including me, because he was traded for Danks and then promptly kept getting injured.
Anyway, on paper this seems to be a mismatch as CJ is 7th in the league in strikeouts, has a 10-5 record and has a nice 3.35 era. However, it seems based on comments this week that he hates Oakland with a passion because the park is bad, has a bad mound and the fans don't turn out to see a team filled with good young players like Mr. McCarthy. So with a probably out to get CJ anything might happen who hasn't had a positive decision in 4 games.
Anyway, good luck to the Rangers and I hope they beat the A's down. Will be back at the hacienda about 11:20 tonight so I'll get to see some of the game. Hopefully, by then it will be so out of hand that I won't want to watch.
