Just something fun that I might do from time to time. Things we have learned in the first five games of the season. Elvis is good but still young. Out side of the first game in Detroit the pitching hasn't been bad. The defense is better than last year but still sporadic and the offense can flat out hit. I know it's a small sample size but I will take 3 out of five all season long. At that pace the Rangers would win 96 games and probably walk away with the division title. Now I don't think they will win 96 games but I really don't think 85-90 games are out of reach.

Kevin Millwood tosses tomorrow against the Tigers. I expect a win and the Rangers get back on track. If the Rangers are to have a good year this year Millwood and Padilla are going to have to lead the way.

2 and Oh...my

With last night 8-5 win over the Indians improved to 2-0 for the first time since the 2000 season. The pitching was a little off of what it was on Opening Day but If Padilla can give you and outing like that I will take that all year long. Although I would like to see him get into the 6th and even 7th inning. The defense was a little sloppy last night with three throwing errors, all to tall or wide for Chris Davis. It doesn't look like the Rangers miss Milton Bradley so far.

Nellie Cruz hit a couple of bombs and Elvis did leave the building last night getting his first big league homer. He is quickly becoming my new favorite player.

It looks like the Rangers have a little hop in there step this year as opposed to the last few years. We can only hope this will continue. From a fans point of view this is as excited as I have been about the Rangers for sometime. Bmac is up next. I hope he can keep the good felling going. It's a 1:05 game today and is on KRLD/105.3 FM and FSN SW.

Let's go Rangers!
