ForeverADog Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 Toughest one to pick but I like Tampa in 7.
bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 The series kicks off today at around 12:30 this afternoon. I was hoping the rangers would get the yankees, who they'd played well against this year, but at least they don't have to deal with the playoff atmosphere in yankee stadium. If the rangers can take this first game, i like their chances. Apart from Cliff Lee, they have some seriously underrated pitchers who are good enough to shut down the Rays if they don't get playoff jitters.

bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 great start for the rangers off of Price. 5 hits in 1.2 innings. I was worried when Cliff Lee loaded the bases in the bottom of the first, but he struck out the side to get out of the jam.

bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 after two long innings in which lee gave up 4 hits and had 5 k's, which ballooned his pitch count, he had a much needed 7-pitch 1-2-3 inning in the 3rd.
bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Molina with another 2-out HR for the Rangers! They lead 4-0 with 2 gone in the 4th!!!

He is already at 50 pitches after 3.
PhatMack19 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 VLAD RBI double on another 3-0 count5-0 Rangers
PhatMack19 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Rangers swinging away on 3-0. Good scouting on their part, Price is getting behind and throwing the ball in the middle of the plate.
bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Lee 91 pitches, 10 Ks, 4 Hs, 0 Rs, 6 scoreless innings. this is why the rangers traded for him.
PhatMack19 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Rangers win 5-1. Cliff Lee looked great and the bats took advantage of Price's mistakes. Good win for Texas
bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 what a great start for the rangers! the moves the made in the middle of the year paid off big time today! Two players they traded for, Cliff Lee (7 IP, 10 K, 1 R) and Bengie Molina (3/4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR) had monster games, and Jeff Francoer, who they picked up on waivers was 1/4 with a run and an rbi.
bullets13 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 I believe this this series is only a best of 5, which makes this win even bigger! Even if they only win one of their next 3 games, they'll have Lee on the bump again with a chance to win in game 5.
Ty Cobb Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Posted October 7, 2010 Game 2: C. J. Wilson vs James ShieldsIt sure would be nice if this series goes to Arlington with the RANGERS up 2-0.

adminbaberuth Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Heading for lunch, What channel is game? I will turn to at Deli if on tube.
PhatMack19 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Rangers running game is in Shields head. He made a bad throw to give up run then just fell off of the mound throwing a pitch.
