Pitching Struggles Continue, But Rangers Win 10-9 Over Red Sox
Glass Half Empty / Afternoon Cloud: Matt Harrison and Roy Oswalt both gave up 4 ER's each.
Glass Half Full / Silver Lining: Harry is reported to have had flu-like symptoms before game time but pitched anyway and took an IV after the game. Oswalt looked good for a while but, went back out for the 7th where he gave up the 4 runs.
Josh, Nellie, Soto and Moreland all went yard. And Josh was 3-5.
Thoughts / Observations / Sidenotes: The Rangers seem to like August a lot better than July.
I just heard TV talking head and ex-MLBer John Kruk gush about how great the Halos are and how this race in the West will be close between the Rangers, Halos and A's down the stretch. Well, I don't know if Kruk can count but, the Rangers are 6 games up on the A's (that's right the Angels are 3rd, 6.5 GB) with less than 2 months of baseball left. And the Rangers played about as bad as they can in July and maintained their lead in the West. No respect, no respect.
