    6 hrs allowed, 5 errors, 16 runs

    worst game of the year, especially after we made a game out of it

    cooper' long gone. runs 10-16 are all on jackie moore. honestly the most blatantly awful job i've ever seen a bench coach do after a coach's ejection.

    CBS Sportsline only shows 2 ERs for Villarreal. Not that it matters but he deserved a lot more than that.

    Pathetic.

    I'd say it would be a good idea to send Villareal to the minors but we don't want to make Round Rock suck totally do we? Why should they be embarassed like this?

    Watch the Jazz get eliminated instead!

    Damn I contradicted my earlier post! Change the channel. It's safe now.

    Go check the stats. The Rangers are ahead of us in several offensive categories.

    As usual in recent years, they are a good offensive team. It's their pitching that has been the problem.

    Sort of like our pitching seems to becoming the problem it was expected to be.

    Well...now that Jason Jennings is injured...he takes his 0-5 record with him. That's an improvement for the Rangers right there...just not having him start.

    And you enjoy a bleak future for your ball club. You all have one of the weakest farm systems in baseball, as opposed to ours which is easily top 5.

    We have more talented pitchers than Volquez in our system so were going to be ok. As far as World Series titles, last time I checked, were even.

    So it looks like were not the only ones doing things wrong. Thanks

    When did this become a freaking Rangers board anyway? We're not interested in what you've got to say right now.

    I don't think anybody but you is taking it that way. I'm not some troll, I'm a long-time member of this site and Rockets fan. These Lone Star Series threads are the only ones I post in for the Astros section all year, it's a good-natured give and take. No animosity. I wish the Astros luck against everybody else.

    Thank you, I do enjoy them. And Nolan Ryan wasn't a good pitcher? Come on now. ;)

    Most runs they've given up since they surrendered 18 to the Padres last July. Jennings gave up 11 earned in less than an inning in that game.

    It is the Astros Rangers thread isnt it? Im sorry that not every one can think like you.

    and btw Your broadcasters were calling Josh Hamilton another Mickey Mantle.. That was pretty cool.

    Anyway good game guys. Goodluck tomorrow. I know were gonna need it. Roy Oswalt seems to always be money against us.

    It's such a huge loss I'm worried they might lose their current mojo.

    These games shouldn't even count in the standings ugghh. I hate inter-league play.
    Instead of the all star game being the deciding factor of home field, the records of all combined teams, during beer league play, should be taken into consideration.

    Nah...You have to get these games out of the system every once in a while. It's one of those that reminds them, "Hey, we can't come back every time. We actually have to play 9 innings to win in this league."

    I see it as a good thing...sort of.
