Game 3 - tied at 2 thru 2

The Team of Texas now leads 4-3 in the 4th

Another back & forth exciting game; now tied at 5 in the 7th

Still tied at 5, going to the 11th

The Asstros finally beat the Rangers, 7-6 in 11 innings. Love the fight in the Rangers, they never give up.
A win on Sunday will give the Team of Texas three quarters of a sweep in this series, not too shabby.

Bad day at the ballpark today, every now and then you get no pitching and the game is lost as soon as it starts. Nevertheless, the Rangers showed in the 1st three games of this series that they are legit and the Asstros better buckle up when they come to play the Team of Texas.

Struggling with the D-bags, frustrating.

String of errors in the 9th. Looks like the Rangers lost interest.

Ugh, better show up tomorrow

Ugh, better show up tomorrow

Scratch that; Rangers gave up a touchdown in the top of the 1st, this one's already over.

sigh

That's a crap start and the Angels have gotten hot. About to pass the good guys in the standings.

Rangers next in action in Houston starting Friday; series starts with a possible pitching duel between Minor & Verlander.

Might be the last time Minor pitches for the Rangers. He's a big trade target.

Fighting to the finish, makes it easy to really like this team.

Regressing back to the mean

They had gotten several games over .500 before the AllStar game, stands to reason they would start losing a bunch to fall back to .500

Glad they got that out of their system, maybe now they can start playing up to their potential again.

We can hope

still waiting

NY Post talking about a trade for Minor. Yankees have sent scouts to his last two games.

All this losing is killing me!

Winning early, maybe tonight?

Still looking like maybe

VICTORY !

Gonna need a string of Ws not to be sellers.

Finally an offensive explosion, seems like its been forever

Rangers lead the A's 10-3 after 6

Looking good again tonight in Oakland; Rangers leading 5-2 in the 8th

WW

Double dubs in Oakland, daddy likey

Let's Go Pedro!!!

Thanks for the posts Golfguy. Have been keeping up.

Santana & Mazara both hit bombs in the 6th, Rangers lead 2-1

Rangers lead 5-4 in the 8th
