2009 Texas Rangers Gamethread

[SCM33]

Tampa wins 5-3.

 

In the "pick your poison" category, the less potent poison won.

 

Agree. Im nervous bc I dont think Texas is good enough to win the WC, and TB might go off on a run now and actually overtake Boston in the WC. Very scary considering the way Boston has played against them this year, especially at the Trop.

I agree with SCM33. If the Yankees win the division, I see either the Red Sox or the Rays winning the wild card. I just don't think the Rangers have the pitching to make the playoffs.

Dionner Navarro just got caught attempting to steal 3rd base for the final out of the inning. Read that again. Now another time. Stupidest decision in a baseball game this year. There may have been funnier boneheaded blunders, but that's usually during the action and is spur of the moment. A stolen base is premeditated.

[suns]

Are we supposed to root for the rays or rangers in the game?

[Cocos Disciples]

I'm rooting for the Rays, because the Rangers are closer to us.

[Dojji]

I'm rooting for a series split preferably in Tampa's favor.

[msubulldogs21]

Marlon Byrd homered off JP Howell with 2 out in the 9th to tie it 4-4. It's in the bottom of the inning now.

[Gosawks]

Damnit I was all pumped up for a two game lead.

[Gosawks]

Any update?

[msubulldogs21]

4-4, Top 10

[ORS]

Any update?

Rangers are in trouble. Rays with 1st and 2nd no out.

[msubulldogs21]

Ballgame. Pena walk-off single, 5-4 Rays.

[Cocos Disciples]

2 games up on Texas, 3 on Tampa.

[ms_sox]

Rangers ahead of Tampa 3-0 in the 7th.

Can both teams lose this one? That would be nice. Hahaha

[a700hitter]

Twins are leading the Rangers 2-0 in the bottom of the 1st inning. Twins announcers say that the Kazmir trade is not final yet.

[a700hitter]

3-0 twins in the bottom of the third.

[a700hitter]

3-0 Twins in the 5th

[a700hitter]

Twins beat the Rangers 3-2.

[ms_sox]

Thanks, Twins!

[yankees228]

Minnesota takes a 4-3 lead in the 8th, and still threatening.

 

EDIT: Squeeze play is successful. 5-3.

[ms_sox]

Oops, Min.

[Dojji]

Shoulda been a GIDP there.

[yankees228]

Andrus Ks.

[ms_sox]

Come on Twins...w/Tampa games coming up, we could sure use your help. Gogo.

[TedWilliams101]

Nathan is trying to do his best Papelbon impression.

[Dojji]

+1 game

[ms_sox]

Awesomesauce. Now I can go to the geek store happy.

[italstallianion]

Now that's some good breathing room heading into this series at Tampa.

[Christian Snyder]

Good. Texas is 3.5 games back and Tampa is 5.5 games back in the AL WC...
