And they did. FINALLY the Rangers got the starting pitching they have been needing for so long. Hollands' sterling (and not very typical) performance last night was definitely the right thing at the right time. Usually, the Rangers starters are Jekyl and Hyde. Either really good or really bad, and not prone to lasting 6 innings at best. I can't remember the last time I saw one of their starters go 7 innings, much less 8 1/3. It looked like Holland could have made it the entire 9, but Ron Washington did the right thing knowing he made need him in the near future. I only hope the others were taking notes on pitching high and inside from Holland. The Cards are a fastball hitting team, and that is what the Rangers have in the bullpin. I hope some of them learn the value of adding a good curveball in their bag of tricks next year. Holland will get 3 days of rest at best before he may be needed next, and I'm not sure if that is enough. Maybe game 7. Wilson starts tonight, and we all remember game 1.
Now, if the bats can get a bit hotter we'd have it made. Hamilton has a bad groin strain, Beltre has beaten his left leg half to death fouling off pitches, and the other big bats have been in a highly uncustomary slump. Napoli finally seems to be recovering a bit. Funny, isn't it, that the Rangers would have won that game last night with only the first run scored. That after a 16 to 7 loss the night before. Wow, talk about night and day. Hope Wilson took notes and gets it right tonight. Sojourner Truth

Hopefully the Cards gave game 3 all they had, and are tired now. Tonight is our last night in Texas, then we go to MO, so we really need to win this so we go into Cards teritory on the upside. We will see.

Napoli just knocked in two to put the Rangers up 4-2. Looks like the Ranger's night. Rangers in six doesn't sound so far fetched now.
