Game 8, W12-9, Rangers Back to .500

This team loves to come back. After Wright squandered our early lead by giving up five runs in the third, the bullpen only gave up one more earned run the rest of the game. But D Young's blast in the ninth following Kinsler's error was a serious shot.

Glad Lodton is heating up. Big Cat fan and haven't been worried about him.

Be careful getting on the Hank bandwagon. I love that he's going the other way with balls, but in 31 at-bats, he's got ten hits and eight punch outs. Kinda high. He left six on base last night.

Ranger-for-life Young is in a slump inlike I have ever seen him in. Another hitless game when everyone seemed to be finding holes.

Only thing electric about Jamey Wright is that it's shocking he's the 5th starter. Should have been Loe. I would have understood Chen. Now, niether of those two has been that impressive, and we'll probably lose Mike Wood, who if claimed off waivers, will help a ballclub. Can't say that'll be the case with Wright.

Can care less about Gagne right now unless he's stepping into the rotation or can play left and hit.

Left another 18 on base. Again, nice to see so many runners, but on a night when we needed 10 to win, we'll need to get more in when we have chances against better teams than The Rays.
