Rangers Reach .500, Laird Rocks!

It's going to be real hard to take the Rangers' catching job away from Gerald Laird, and after today, why would ya? The man blasted two Halo offerings for home runs. The first landed half way up that wildlife sanctuary or whatever the Angels have in center field. He ended the day going 4 for 5 and knocking in 6 runs. He threw a laser to gun down Chone Figgins, and he elected to play today so he could work further with Padilla...result...another well called game and a Ranger starter throwing 7 innings.

Good to see Benoit back. Good to see David Murphy steal a bag and keep playing solidly. Good to see Ramon Vazquez fill in nicely.

I'm not going to say anything about the two errors.

Hate that they will take Monday off. I want to see this team keep rolling. I'll take 3 and 3 after the first 6 games on the road against the two debatable best teams in the West. And rumor is that it's being debated.
