Was Wash watching the game??!! Andrus and Borbon hitting back to back changed the game offensively and won it almost singlehandedly with their baserunning. Just baffling.

Intentional or not he's had people throwing at his melon all year long. I'm suprised he hasnt charged the mound yet. I would have, as long as Nolan wasnt up there to give me the Ventura Special.

(you can kind of tell what he said just looking at his head movements) and was just blowing off steam. He wasn't really mad at Varitek--he was just royally pissed to get hit in the gourd.

Naturally, they cool off after sitting for a game or two. One could almost wonder if he was trying to . . . well . . . go one step beyond Pete Rose?

Was he quoted on the post-game show? I'm reading comments saying that it was something insulting. Maybe he was apologizing. On another note, what should the Rangers outfield/DH look like next year? Murphy, Byrd, Hamilton, Borbon, Cruz? I don't want us to get rid of any of those guys--I love 'em all! Can someone please tell me what Varitek said to Kinsler after the beaning?

I agree that Ricardson or Max Ramirez (off the DL) should do fine, especially since they have caught these young pitchers. How can Wash take Borbon out of the leadoff spot until he proves he can't get on base? Is Kinsler really gripping about losing the leadoff spot?
