Every friggin' second you turned around last night the rangers were running on 'Tek like a fat kid chasing a cheese burger. 8 stolen bases. What the f*ck? Half the time it seemed like 'Tek didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of even getting the umpire to bother signaling that the guy was safe his throws were so far behind. To get an idea of how much the Rangers ran last night, besides Kinsler's 2nd inning bridge shot, the Rangers had only one extra base hit the whole night. Single, steal second, advance to 3rd, get him home. The Sox got small balled to death last night and they had no answer for it. Positives of the night? V-mart and Jay Bay kept smashing the ball, but solo shots don't do much with no one on base. Tough one to watch for sure.It's a lot to ask of Junky to step up today and get out of Texas with a series win, but that is what is asked of him today. My guess, V-mart is behind the plate today so there isn't another marathon on the bases. My other guess is that Drew is out... again and there's a right fielder that very few of us have heard of or care to have in the lineup.

Theif (thief) is one of those words....like pole (poll).....sorry, couldn't help myself...
You are "plumber crack" ON with your assessment of last night's game...honestly, I was disgusted when I saw the end of the batting order. This team has no chance to solidify with that revolving door moving...Theo, stop the madness!!
I hate words with the letters "I" and "E" in them. Once I put that up there I realized I spelling it wrong but I still don't want to change it.
They do need to solidify the lineup though if they want to have any chance of putting together a streak here.
...and change it, you shouldn't...give 'em something to bitch about...
I understand with all the injuries (deja vu all over again - too many players getting too old too fast, it's hard to keep a line-up, but the team really hasn't gelled since April & May! I hate to say it, but I think the season's over....kill me now...
NO! Nothing is over. They have a series with the Yanks this weekend and then one more after that still. Lots of time to make up ground and eventually the Yanks will start to even out. They've been playing out of their mind and the Sox have been playing sub-par at best.
Okay, I'll hang on a little longer. After all, those Yankees lost today. If I send some of my goons to "handle" NY, we should be okay - IF our offense wakes up (Youk back on Tuesday!!), and IF we get all our injured back, and IF our 4th & 5th pitchers go beyond 4 or 5 innings, we might have a chance....gee, I feel my spirits lifting already...you're good!! :)
