Derek Holland up in the Rangers bullpen. Cano flies out. Rangers win 7-2!!!!!

Series tied at 1-1 heading to New York.

 

Series tied 1-1 and the Rangers have outplayed the hated Yankees in both games. The series should be 2-0 if the Rangers hadn't gift wrapped game one to them.

 

Lee vs. Pettitte tomorrow night at 8:07 ET.

Can't wait!!!

 

minus a bullpen meltdown the rangers are up 2-0 in this series.

 

Have all of you heard the latest?

Some NY fans are wondering if Lee is cheating by going to the back of his cap where there is a white patch.

I wonder if that means that the Yankees don't want him next season?

 

typical of faggy fans *cough* chubz *cough* like the yankees have.

 

Rep!

 

So I just learned that game 2 on Saturday wasn't even close to a sell out. Thousands of empty seats. Where the heck is ESPN ripping Rangers fans?

 

link ? casue the crowd shots showed a full house.

 

Looking. I heard it on the radio.

 

Actually it was Michael Kay who started all this hoopla. He believes that Cliff Lee is cheating by putting pine tar on the brim of his hat, and when his sweat mixes with it, it creates a sticky substance which he repeatedly touches during the game.

"The lead singer of the chorus, the loudest yodeler, is Michael Kay, the television voice of the Yankees who also hosts a show on ESPN-1050. Kay's association with the Bombers brings added significance to the controversy.

Kay insists the combination of resin on Lee's hat and the pitcher's sweat produces a "tackiness," making it easier to grip the ball. "I would think that's illegal," Kay said on 1050 Wednesday. "If I'm Joe Girardi, I'm telling the umpires he (Lee) has got to wear another hat."

"I would think that's illegal." What Kay meant to say is he thinks Lee is cheating."

 

I guess their info was wrong, attendance was 50,362 but that's paid attendance that's not actual attendance which I can't find anywhere so.....

 

Lee still dealing. His pitch count is getting up there but not to to high at the moment.

 

He's money...still going strong at 120 pitches.

 

13th strikeout comes on pitch 122...

 

Yeah he's freaking dealing. Would be nice to get another run here so we could go to the bullpen immediately. If we don't I imagine we'll at least leave in for the first batter in the 9th.

Hamilton with a leadoff Double nice!

 

Hamilton's leadoff double will help...

 

Vlad has had terrible ab after ab throughout this series. just move the runner along.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

nice to see him get on base.

 

There's the insurance run you're looking for. 3-0 Rangers.

 

Sure would be nice to cash in at least 2 more considering there are none out.

Pinch hit for Molina?
