Imagine how exciting it would have been for us all to be sitting around in our jammies for the next three nights, hanging on every pitch of pennant race baseball. Wow. Would have been awesome. Well, the pennant race may be out the window, but you can still curl up with your laptop tonight and join in for a discussion of Rangers baseball. We’re going to focus on the positive side of the season throughout tonight’s game. Call it “Chicken Soup for the Ranger Fan’s Soul.”
In the meantime, here is your Rangers lineup against Oakland tonight: DH Julio Borbon, SS Elvis Andrus, LF David Murphy, CF Marlon Byrd, 1B Hank Blalock, 2B Ian Kinsler, RF Nelson Cruz, 3B Chris Davis, C Taylor Teagarden and pitching for the Rangers … RHP Kevin Millwood.
I’d consider it more chicken soup if you told me that they pulled Millwood from his start and DL’ed him for the rest of the season. I just don’t love Millwood for this team at $12 mil next year.
