Rangers vs. Rays

I am beginning to really despise the Rays. And I mean this in the most "gggrrr..." sort of way. They are quickly moving into Yankee territory. They knocked us off track last year amd we didn't recover. And this year, when a great spark off of coming down from a horrible stretch, the spark didn't happen. I am beginning to wonder if Millwood is to blame... and I say this simply because he will miss a total of a month due to injuries. Teixiera is trade bate. Will he be gone at the All-Star break or in the off-season, I am uncertain, but Newberg made a great argument for him being gone before the end of his contract. One thing Newberg didn't mention is the one simple fact: Young is the face of the Rangers, not Tex. And that is a statement that Tom Hicks made when Young signed his extension, just not in those words. I am not going to make a prediction for today's game against the Rays simply because I am frustrated - a frustrated fan - and don't want to point out that there is a lack of timely hitting, lack of the pitching, and the errors on the field. Some days the Rangers "have it", but lately is has been that the Rangers simply "don't"... maybe I am simply frustrated that I am hurting and have been looking for a spark in anything the media can provide and can't find one right now... I'll be back tomorrow with the weather, but right now, it is storming in my house with frustration - not good to make a forecast right now. Johnny Out.
