re: Official Yankees @ Rangers | 7-6 | Final

I'm happy with our closer, thanks.

Both of them had shitty outings this road trip.

Try being an Astros fan. Last year we had to put up with Cecil "lets walk a guy to get to Hanley Ramirez" Cooper. And today Brad Mills pulled Brett Wallace (a lefty who has hit lefties in the minors better than righties) for Pedro fricking Feliz! Feliz of course flies out stranding a man on second. Then in the bottom of the inning, Feliz botches a pickoff and lets the ball get into right.

Dude, y'all have tasted the world series. The Rangers have three playoff appearances.

Now, lets take 2 out 3 from the SOX.

I'll drink a beer to that.

They're for sure a lot more exciting to watch then the Stros

well... yeah. I'm just cautious to get excited due to their past.

That was a badass 2 game series

For sure. If that was a playoff preview...

"Getcha popcorn ready."

Both games were sold out. Same for this weekend against the Sox.

First, I absolutely loathe the back of the Rangers order right now. not only do all of them suck (Molina, Guzman, and Cantu/Moreland), but aside from Moreland, they aren't Rangers. If you're gonna have crappy production from a position, I'd rather have a guy who feels like part of the club and not some rent a vet. I'm all for rent a studs like Cliff Lee, but grabbing Christian Guzman, one of the worst everyday players in baseball, because he provides veteran leadership, is one of those moves that makes blood squirt out of my eyeballs. If Molina was a half decent catcher, he throws that runner out at third instead of skipping the throw. If I wanted a crappy catcher back there, we already had Treanor and Ramirez.

Secondly, despite being a close game, that game was bbbbboooooooooooorrrrrrrrring. If I had to watch the Yankees play stall ball all season long, I'd gougue out my eyeballs. What a horribly unentertaining team to watch. The game was four hours of Yankee batters adjusting their jerseys. It was brutal. Cliff Lee works fast, and the game still took four hours to play. Most of the game was the Yankees adjusting themselves. Get up there and play, you assholes. You are detroying baseball. I really mean that. I don't understand how anyone can be entertained by a Yankee game. It's about the least aesthetically pleasing team on TV, aside from the View.

Finally, Ron Ron proved again he has no idea how to manage a bullpen. I went on about a 20 minute rant when he brought Francisco in the game (I had 20 minutes to fill as Thames played with his jock before getting up to hit). Ron Ron went to his pen and found two relievers (O'Day and Oliver) who were both completely on their game. They each pitched to one batter. He then went to the pen again, like he was floundering around looking for a guy having an off-night, and sure enough - he found it! And all of a sudden, Ron Ron's got a slow hook with a pitcher who got battered the night before, after yanking the effective pitchers after one batter.

What an infuriating game.
