Game 19: Those pickups look real nice, George.

Chan Ho has another good performance this season. Yet, his control seems a little off again: too many walks.

Wright got hammered and looks like he's headed to the DL. Good use of $21 million dollars there.

Teixeira has two HRs, which is an encouraging sign. Blalock not doing much is about as discouraging. Hidalgo hasn't play for the last two games as he's been struggling at the plate: Matthews (who can't really hit any more on his best days than Hidalgo on his worst) replaced him at RF.

Game 18: Where have you gone, Kevin Brown? To the showers!

Kevin Brown received some payback for all that bad karma he generated while with the Rangers. Although he did settle down a bit after the first inning though...but enough damage was made that it didn't really matter.

Young had his second straight acceptable performance. His pitch count was a bit high though for 5 2/3rd innings.

Mahay almost blew it in the 9th such that Cordero had to come in for the save. Grr.
