Game 16, L16-4 Rangers Wasted My Night

I met the guys after work and we raced out to the game. We made good time and rolled into the parking lot in the bottom of the 2nd inning, but slowed our roll when hearing that the Rangers were behind 8-0. Had a beer or two in the parking lot. Turned in our vouchers to a rude attendant. Bought a dog. And saw that it was 10-0.

Didn't get one of the cheap blue hats given away, and the green dot was the third worst performer on the field after McCarthy and Chen.

Already have tickets for Cinco De Mayo, so if your looking to make some cash, put a couple bucks on the Jays that night. Don't seem to be good luck.

McCarthy-ism

Jan Hubbard of the FWST has an article out about Brandon McCarthy's confidence and how low The Ballpark ranks as a launching pad for home runs. The Rangers' home ranks 13th in the majors for home runs allowed, jet stream and all. Obviously, our bats lacked some of the punch of teams of previous years, but it goes to show that the men swinging the lumber have more to do with it than our summer air. Link.

John Danks Article

Mark Gonzales of ChicagoSports.com has an article up about the White Sox young pitching, including John Danks. I wish John all the luck in the world, but I'm excited about McCarthy. Here's what he had to say: "It's time to start proving I'm good enough to be on a big-league club, even if it's not right out of camp,' said Danks, 21. 'I'll go to Triple-A and pitch my [rear] off and put the pressure on them." I think we all agree. Link.

Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times has a similar article. Link.
