Can You Say Roller Coaster?
Rangers lose in 13.
Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud:
Rangers gave up the lead in the 9th and the A's took the lead in the top of the 11th and again in the 13th - and the Rangers couldn't rally again in the bottom of 13. An error by Elvis in the top of 9 helped the A's out.
The game winning run was thrown out at the plate in the bottom of 12 (questionable to send Blanco, pinch running for Vlad, on a Kinsler single).
To write that your Texas Rangers bullpen was used quite a bit would be an understatement.
Glass Half Full / Silver Lining:
And the Rangers came back to tie the ballgame in he bottom of the 9th and 11th. Mr. Baseball Lewis looked good through 7 IP.
Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: Roller coaster game, roller coaster season. Rangers are now tied with A's now atop the AL West.
