Well That didn't take long Looks Like Texas vs Baltimore is Texas's next Spot. How wild would it be in Texas if Houston and Texas were in the ALCS They can thank their statutory rapist SS they posed no threat to the Rangers. True... |

Like Three wiseman, four horseman Long Island Ice Tea, Tecate, Jordan cabernet, etc. let’s mix the drinks together for a worse hangover. |

And they didn't face Framber, JV, or our full lineup potential.

Ridiculous start times, as usual. They won't even give us, the reigning WS champions and one of the best modern dynasties, the nighttime slot when the other game is...Rangers and Orioles? Just absurd.

Just read an interesting article over on climbingtalshill. It made the point that without the trades for Verlander and Graveman we would not of won the division and in my opinion would not of made the playoffs. So it cost us two great prospects but now we have the chance to repeat and if we repeat we have the horses to three peat.

Verlander, yes, but Graveman has been almost a detriment from the games I’ve seen. He’s got good stuff but that doesn’t matter if he doesn’t throw strikes. |

I think that they quoted an era of 2.45 but a fip era of over 5 so he has been lucky with the runs allowed so far. He did eat some innings though |

Graveman has had some control issues at times, but he isn't letting the runs score. 2.42 ERA with us.
As for JV, we won 7 of his 11 starts. (Including 13 IP and 1 ER in two must win games at the end of the year.)
I think it's obvious that we don't win the division without them.
