Game 19, L5-4, Rangers Let One Slip Away

After winning a game that could instill some confidence, we lost a game we should have won. Despite falling behind (seems like we're always having to come back), the Rangers rallied to tie the score, but Washington left Millwood in too long and his last run was the difference. Do I blame Wash? No. I blame McCarthy whose two consecutive extremely short starts have taxed our bullpen to the point that Wash had to push Millwood.

Yes, Millwood is our ace. He should be able to go more than 106 pitches, and he shouldn't lose to some Mariner call-up. He shouldn't give up ten hits, even though most were cue shots and Texas leaguers. He should have gotten Ichiro out with two outs and the bases loaded...but Hank shouldn't have gotten his two out hit the night before.

Still so little success against the division. It'll cost us in the end.
