Rangers 2, Astros 1
W:Darvish (12-5) L:Oberholtzer (2-1) SV:Nathan (35)
This game started out similar to the second game of the season. Thankfully, it did not take until the 9th inning to ruin all the Rangers fans fun. Villar got his walk in the 6th, which ended the perfect game attempt. And then Mr. Carlos Corporan hit the shut-out-no-no-bid hit in the 8th. That was fun. It really was. Those Rangers fans probably wanted to strangle Mr. Carlos Corporan, but he’s too strong for them.
Lost in all the Davish crap is the fact that the Astros pitchers did a very good job on the day. 2 runs were all that were given up. 2 runs, that’s it. No more. Granted they didn’t hit the ball worth more than one run, and I didn’t view the came through a television screen so I don’t know if Darvis was pitching that great or if the Astros helped him along.
But, I’m still skeptically optimistic that the pitching is turning around. I’m trying not to let myself get to excited about the future, I’m holding onto some faith, but I just can’t trust everything yet. I truly hope the future is as bright and shiny as it is being sold.
Also, I hope the Rangers find themselves in a similar spot that the Angels seem to be headed. Would make future seasons mucho beuno.
Something funny.
