Oswalt in the bullpen, looks like it's settled. Feldman is the 5th starter

Regardless of the final outcome, it has been nice to see the offense wake up over the past two games.

Getting the win is needed at this point, just want it to demoralize the Angels, but yes the offense waking up is outstanding.

Murph is a beast right now.

my friend just txted me

"it took awhile but it looks the rangers finally shook off the tony romo 1st pitch curse."

Rangers need 3 outs and are up by 4.

More if they drop some runs in the bottom of the 8th, but I will take just 3 outs.

Joe Nathan will be pitching, we probably need more runs. Hopefully Nathan makes me eat my words, but I have no confidence that he wont chunder this away.

I really like this Takahashi guy, hes real animated and he sucks at pitching.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Geez is Nathan finally starting to run out of steam?

 

[RastaRocket]

Nathan isn't running out of anything. He had a similar funk early on in the year.

Great closer, not a very good reliever. He is just fine. He was clearly tired tonight from pitching so much last night, he shouldn't have been out there especially with that big of a lead.

I'm not excusing tonight or last night but he just doesn't get too amped up unless he is closing in a tight game.

I guess I should expect doom and gloom from every post being on a Cowboys board and that's what the majority here do.

The Rangers are doing just fine. Are they doing well, not really but still holding their own. Do they have problems? Damn straight. But it is a very long season. Sit back and enjoy.

Don't get too high on wins or too low on losses. This series was a definition of that. Plenty of games left and the Rangers are in first and top 3 in the whole league, my gosh it sounds like we are the Astros reading some your posts.

People are streaky, teams are streaky, and to expect perfection for 162 games is quite ridiculous.

Just my two cents.

I agree with you. To this date though, this was the most important series of the year. We could not afford to get swept by the Angels here. It would have been horrible for confidence. I know we shouldn't look too much into just 4 games but these last 2 were huge for us. The team has been struggling and it definitely didn't feel like we were in first place. That comeback win the other night might have been everything this team needed. Elvis said it was basically all of their frustration just let out at once. It seemed to really boost confidence and that showed tonight. Keep building on the lessons learned over the past two months and we know exactly what this team is capable of doing. The last two months could also be something this team needed to have with all of their recent success. You have to persevere if you are going to sustain success.

Oh I agree it was big. All division games are especially with the Angels. But I don't think even a four game sweep would have kept these guys down. It was great to break through against the Angels and the series had a playoff feel. And I definitely think that comeback will be a defining moment on this season.

In general, I agree. However, July was awful enough to warrant some legitimate concern.

Agreed.

I wasn't to worried about the month of June, but to have it carry over to July and last the entire month had me anxious to say the least.

Hopefully it is behind them now and they play August, September and Ocotober with renewed beast like powers.

I don't think anybody can foul pitches off and stay alive better than Murph on our team.

Hamilton says its just him trying to quit using tabacco.

Quitting cigarettes was the hardest thing I ever did. Harder than Divorce. When ur really addicted it does mask feelings. Why doesnt he wait til the season is done?
