Nice. Castro homers, and then AJ Shitzinski grounds into a double play. What more could a person ask for?

Tune in just in time to see Toronto tie it up.

Suck. Gentry homers, and then Grossman misplays a ball in the corner to allow a 2-out run to score. What did we do to deserve this?

How does Martinez look? Fine way to start your MLB career, come in with a man on and Beltre at the plate, get an inning-ending DP.

Not bad.  He's got good movement on his fastball.  I'm guessing he throws the 2 seam variety.  His slider has been effective as well.

Not to diminish the accomplishment, but beltre smoked that ball and Dominguez made a slick backhanded pick a step or so to his right.

It didn't help he got to 3-0 on Beltre but that he came back to get him matters.  He took care of the next inning pretty well despite a Dominguez error.

I thought Porter should have pinch hit for the rookie rather than Barnes.  But I get to coach from the couch so naturally that makes me better.

Wallace in to pinch-hit for Barnes. He walks, and then Gonzales grounds out to end the inning. At least we got one run.

You're a very optimistic person. I tend to focus on a different characteristic of that arm.

How many double plays can one team hit into? 9, I guess, in a regulation game. The Astros may accomplish that feat at some point this year.

I've tried to vote twice and neither time worked.  It's rigged.

ETA:  It's rigged, just like these Rangers' games.

He's giving him as much time in the pen as he can, because he'll only get 10 pitches once he enters.

I saw a little league game last weekend where the bunt defense the shortstop charged and the 3b stayed back. Has nothing to do with this game but thought it was interesting.

I'm not saying I hope the Rangers go into their locker room tonight and crotch critters have infested their clothes but they put them on anyway before they realize they are there and then sewer rats attack them and eat off all of their gentalia trying to eat the crotch critters and the players beat each other into unconsciousness with bats trying to kill the sewer rats but you never know what might happen.

For such an overmatched team, they don't think overmatched most of the time.

Even Bedard fought hard when he could be mailing it in after not getting traded at the deadline.

2 unearned runs.  Kids.

Still, watching them gives me hope for the future.  A little experience will kill the yips with some of them and with the talent coming up this team will be pretty to watch.

I'm not saying I hope the Rangers go into their locker room tonight and crotch critters have infested their clothes but they put them on anyway before they realize they are there and then sewer rats attack them and eat off all of their gentalia trying to eat the crotch critters and the players beat each other into unconsciousness with bats trying to kill the sewer rats but you never know what might happen.

And then they get swept by the Mariners.  And the same thing happens to their fans.

He's down by 3% now.

 That pisses me off... A lesser candidate winning means we just got our asses handed to us... The fact that it was the natural heir apparents to the rightful forced move-to-the-AL team only makes it sting worse...

remember, the "fan vote" is only 2 votes out of I dunno how many. The USA Today baseball writers each get a vote.

And, it's fucking USA Today.
