    I'll take anybody over Darvish, so that's good news.

    Looking at their rotation, Cole Hamels is only striking out 4 per 9 and his K/BB is 1.25. He seems like a guy on the brink of collapse.

    How the **** did these assholes avoid Kid Keuchy?? Also, just LOL at the Hamels vs. Fiers match-up.

    HRs + BBs > Ks

    Fiers's magic with men on can't top the 3.03 ERA wizardry of Hamels.

    Right, because bulletin boards will help them hit LMC's curveball.

    Not crazy about continuing to bat the Puerto Rican Carlos back to back in the 4/5 spots but hopefully it doesn't end up being an issue.

    Correa is hitting .300 with a .500+ SLG in his last 7 games. He's also had a few hard hit outs in that span.

    Perhaps there is enough new blood on this team that the ranger curse won't be a factor.

    I find myself calling them Los Pollos Hermanos...

    I suppose because it is Spanish and their names have Los in them.

    Pre game show says this series isn't a big deal at all. Just like any other game. Even though the rangers single handily kept us out of the playoffs last year.
