nightcrawler we got a win so we shouldnt fall too far behind this season right?

You laugh at me, but anytime you face your biggest rival it's important to get one and not get swept. Makes a big difference at the end of the season.

Good win for the rangers..... It always feels good to win in that shithole the A's call a stadium. I hope Choo is ok and doesn't miss anytime. Choice played well in his place. I figured the A's wouldn't like Soria, pretty much any pitcher with pinpoint accuracy doesn't have trouble with the A's.

Let's hope Martinez is pumping strikes. He threw plenty in Tampa.

Just thought you overblew it. We play them like 16 more times after this series, so I'm sure regardless of the outcome of any of these games we'd be fine.

I respectfully disagree, someone has to slow these bastards down. The A's have already swept 3 teams this season. With our injury situation, it's important to keep things as tight as possible until the guys get healthy.

We can get 2, offense needs to stay alive and maybe Rios can do something in a big spot. hope to see Nick pitch well tomorrow

I told you if we win series vs the A's we will be in good shape. We will be ok, regardless of what the A's do vs other teams.

Let's hope the A's are like the Rangers and struggle with pitchers they have never seen before.

I don't know about you guys but I am very happy with how this team has performed the last weeks. Still would like them to cut down on all the errors but they have really come together. Just hope Choo is going to be OK.

We are in a great place at the moment considering who all is missing.

Think this goes for most teams... its not Ranger specific. But a rookie can also blow it all the same. Kid looked pretty good at his first go at it though.

Keep the ball down, throw strikes and don't walk guys and you give yourself a good chance

It's going to be important for Martinez to throw lots of quality strikes and not look for the perfect pitch.
