game71sl.jpg

Game Wrap:

The Tigers hitters looked fatigued coming into this one and it showed as they struggled to get anything going all game long. Texiera goes wild in this one hitting a 2 run home run in the 4th and then cashing in another 2 in the 5th inning. Eaton pitched a solid game with 7 scoreless innings.

Game Notes:

Slugger Magglio Ordonez is batting .125 on the season. Outfielder Carl Crawford made several nice plays in the outfield and took away a few hits.

Rangers Notes:

The Rangers complete a rare 4 game sweep of the Detroit Tigers. Texiera now leads the league in HR's with 6

Player Of The Game:

Mark Texiera 4 For 4, 1 HR, 3 RBI's

game99vl.jpg

Game Wrap:

Rangers get a little small ball going in the 2nd inning and come up with 2 RBI singles. Then later in the top of the 5th Texiera & Blalock go deep back to back. Angels come within 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th from a Mathis HR. Otsuka shuts out the game in the 9th without surrendering a hit.

Game Notes:

Slugger Vladimir Guerrero 0 for 4 at the dish. Rangers have now won 5 straight.

Rangers Notes:

Rumor has it the Rangers manager has a deal or 2 in the works. Divison rival Angels are now 5.5 games back and are 1-6 on the season.

Mark Texiera 1 For 4, 1 HR, 1 RBI

Game 2 Of 3: Texas Rangers (8-1) @ Anaheim Angels (1-7)

Texas Rangers 7, Anaheim Angels 1

game106yh.jpg

Game Wrap:

Escobar looked shakey all game long. 1st inning Matthews Jr hits a single up the middle then steals a base and Texiera brings him home on an RBI single. The following inning Crawford hits a 2 run blast and it went all down hill from there. Rangers got great production from guys like Nix, Crawford, and Matthews Jr in this one as Texas rolls to a 7-1 victory.

Game Notes:

In 2 games the angels the infield has commited 3 Errors. Starting Pitcher Kameron Loe suffered a minor injury and had to be taken out of the game.

Rangers Notes:

Rangers RHP Kameron Loe has been injured with an inflamed left elbow and will be out 8-10 days. On the bright side of things, Juan Dominguez recently called up from AAA pitched 3 scoreless innings and looks like he might be sticking around with the big team for a while.

Player Of The Game:

Juan Dominguez 3.1 IP, 1 SO, 2 Hits, 0 ER

----------------------------------------------------

Rangers send down C Rod Barajas, Call up OF Craig Monroe.

----------------------------------------------------

I didnt really need to make a deal but Phil Nevin wasnt doing much and was only going against lefties (plus im not a nevin fan) so that made him extendable. I acquired a good veteran southpaw for the rotation and can take Loe's spot for now :). Craig Monroe can hit against Lefties and Righties can also field so this was a no brainer in my opinion.

April 13th, 2006 - Game 10 Of 162

Game 3 Of 3: Texas Rangers (8-2) @ Anaheim Angels (2-7)

Texas Rangers 5, Anaheim Angels 7

game118nv.jpg

Game Wrap:

Rangers get a solo shot from Deangelo Jimenez to give them an early lead but it wouldnt last. As the Angels got a home run from Vladdy and Garrett Anderson. Benoit pitches a horrible game and gets taken out in the 2nd inning. Ervin Santana pitches a great game forcing alot of infield pop flys but had a bad 7th inning giving up a two 2 run HR's but thats all the angels would give up as the bullpen came in and held the lead..

Game Notes:

Garrett Anderson hit his 1st Home Run of the season. Erstad got hurt on a slide to 2nd and will be day to day with a strained left ribcage.

Rangers Notes:

Rangers were unable to sweep and make it 2 sweeps in a row but were glad to have won 2 of 3 and are ready to go into Oakland.

Player Of The Game:

Garrett Anderson 3 For 4, 1 HR, 2 RBI's
