3 outs in 4 at bats, I'm not going to nit-pick. It's a game of millimeters, you can play 'what-if' till the season is over. Some pitchers would have hung the slider out over the plate.
2nd Cordero game - strike out, strike out, walk, line out to center.
Mench went 1 for 4, with an RBI yesterday, he's 2 for 2 with an RBI so far today.

FUCKING YANKEES! Got Abreu and Lidle from the Phillies for four schmucks. I hope Steinbrenner has a damn coronary and Cashman falls off a cliff.

He got a pretty nice ovation the first time he stepped into the batter's box as a Ranger. I'll be interested to see if we're able to keep him around next year.
3 1/2 hours left until the trade deadline... I'll be keeping yahoo sports up to see if the Rangers get any pitching (rumors are circling around Jon Lieber in the morning papers).

Yeah, I know, but it still frustrates me that they always pull this crap. And somehow they still do damn well with the trade for now mentality. Somehow it works for them, which is frustrating, because it makes them somewhat of a shell of a team, and hurts what teams like Oakland and Florida try to do, by building from within.
Anyway, I am over that one... we'll see what happens. Lates Red Sox rumor has Mike Lowell being shipped to San Diego for Scott Linebrink and also getting Julio Lugo in there with prospects being sent to Tampa from both the Sox and Padres. We'll see what happens. I kinda hope they just try to get a starter, for someone like Coco Crisp. I like Lowell.

OK, deadline deals: Rangers get Matt Stairs from KC and Kip Wells from Pittsburgh. I thought maybe Stairs was going to be part of another deal, or a replacement for a player we'd be sending off, but so far it doesn't look like it. Kip Wells started the season hurt and sucked coming off the DL... but he's been solid lately, including seven shutout innings against San Francisco in his last start.
I'd have rather had Livan Hernandez, but at least we got a pitcher -- any pitcher -- to get guys like S'n'P to shut up.
In other news...
The Cubs were busy, too... they sent Todd Walker to San Diego for RHP Juse Ceda (who?) and Greg Maddux to the Dodgers for Cesar Izturis.
No news about Soriano yet.

Kip Wells.
Not a Z in that name, much less one ending the last name.

Just heard on the 6 o'clock news that Maddux is headed to LA.

We get to dodge the Liriano bullet tonite too. With the A's and the Angels beating up on one another, this is a great time to make up a game.

Indeed. One nice thing about being in the Angels' TV market is I can watch with great interest live.
This is an important game for making up ground, for seeing how the new pitcher does, for taking a series against a quality opponent to build some momentum before the trip to Anaheim.
