"One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures." -George W. Bush Well, since he is the Prez, you gotta love the guy. You don't have to agree with him, but it is good to show respect to the Prez, you know. And for some words of wisdom, it should be noted that there is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

The Rangers are going to be in trouble for this one. Hamilton is 0-3 against him and Vasquez and Kinsler own some pretty good numbers on him... they will be out due to injury.
Millwood. His ERA is high... he's 7-7 with a 5.24 ERA. He's started 10 games against the Royals and is 5-3 with a 5.22 ERA. In Millwood's last start, he went 9 innings and gave up only one run in a victory over the Tigers. In his last start, he saw his ERA drop from 5.58 down to 5.24. Could he be back on track?
The current Royals team is 67-201 for a batting average of .333. The Royals ahve 15 doubles, 2 triples, and 5 HRs with 38 RBIs. Millwood could make this one interesting.
- Royal Hitters List should you want to see all the Royals hitters numbers on Millwood. It's a long list with some interesting numbers.
Forecast: After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles." And this Rangers season not grabbing a winning record at the end... why that is bringing tears to my eyes. Seriously, the Rangers drop this one, 4-3.
