Whew, made it through 5.

Ugh @ Wood pitching, I would want no part of the Texas offense today, especially when he's the closer and his team was down by 4 runs, now 5.

Travis Hafner sighting.

Man our middle relief is just awful.

I know it's only two games, but Chris Davis' numbers look pretty ugly right now. 0-8 with 5 Ks... ruh roh.

I hear there was a Sizemore sighting too and in fact, he was a homer short of the impossible.

Hes just completely off right now. Nothing to worry about for the long term yet though, there are a lot of good players with terrible numbers 3-4 games in. He does have a hit though, 1 for 10.

A better spot in the lineup would help, no one is left on base by the time he hits.

Davis has also absolutely smoked a few, but right at guys.
Sizemore is doing his thing, but it's good to see Hafner get one. If for no other reason, but to give him a little confidence.

I thought our pitching was going to be rough this season, but I hope this series has more to do with the Rangers bats.
And at least today they put some runs on the board. When you're having trouble hitting Padilla, and making Millwood look like he was 10yrs younger, not a good sign offensively.

Pitching in Rangers Ballpark in Arlington against our lineup isn't easy, so chalk that up to the Rangers' bats. ;-D

Millwood looked really, really good in the first game, so I wouldn't beat up Cleveland's bats over that one. Padilla looked pretty decent in Game 2, and McCarthy's "slurve" that breaks 12-6 was a wonderful and awesome sight to see today. If it hadn't been for the wind (announcers said gusting up to 33 mph), I doubt he'd have gotten beat up so bad. Same for Pavano, but he didn't look very sharp at all so he'd have still given up quite a few runs. On the other hand, Zack Jackson looked really good his first few innings. Had something like 5 K's through 3 and 1/3rd before starting to give up some hits.

Figured owning V-Mart, DeRosa, and Peralta on various teams would work out well with a great start since the first three games were here. Did get a homer from V-Mart (today), but I was really hoping for more. !+)
