Rangers 17. Yankees 6.
I was at the game last night and it was without a doubt the best $12 I have ever spent. I was in the front row of the centerfield bleachers. So if any of you watched SportsCenter today, you saw me several (approx. 3) times. It was a great game. 33 hits, 7 home runs, and the Rangers hit 6 doubles in the second inning (ties the record). Alas, I am back home in Portland now.

Too bad the Red Sox have to stop their winning streak tonight.
<strong>brilliant the yankeeeeeeeee's lost, doesnt anyone else find it really annoyin how people walk round with yankies caps, tops, jackets etc and have never seen a game of baseball in there lives!!! it drives me mad the yankies r just a corp who prostitute their name for money making financial gain <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
Yeah, it really pisses me off seeing people that know nothing about baseball wearing Yankees stuff or liking the Yankees. I'm 99% sure that if the Yankees didn't win 4 out of 6 championships in the last 6 years or if they didn't have Derek Jeter those people would wear Yankees stuff.

a shit load of runs does NOT make a great game...
it's people like you that only watch baseball for the offense and help destroy the game (ie smaller parks, bigger hitters, juiced balls, etc). its becoming a joke now when you turn on the tv w/ scores like 15-10 or 20-12. this isn't football!!! its baseball, with DEFENSE. a great game is something like 2-1, 4-3, or even 6-5. a blowout with 23 combined runs is NOT a good game. people who say pitchers deuls are boring amuse me to no end. a one-sided game actually bores me more than a tight game ever would. yes, there were a lotta runs scored, but it is still NOT a good game. maybe YOU are entertained, but it is still NOT a good game. understand?? people like you only watch the game for the runs scored and not pitching or defense. turning this game into a joke...
i'm sorry, but i love this game too much to let something like this slide. blowouts suck. they are interesting for a little while, but there is no suspense. where's the drama?? where are the clutch plays?!?! ugh...
hitting is the only thing that matters now...
also, i live in houston (when im not here in college). watching astros games here has gotten pathetic. scores of 12-7 DAILY. sickening...

As of now the Astros are beating the Mets 3-1 in the top of the 9th. Is that better for you?

thats only cause its over there in New York. if it was here in our pathetic excuse for a stadium (think arena baseball), it would be more like 13-11.
also, that game had 2 of the best pitchers in the national league starting. those matchups are rare...
today is the exception, not the standard, for the way the game is played these days...
get my drift now...? <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

2 days in a row? Holy crap. I guess the Rangers might finally be playing up to their potential. I mean, they have tons of hitting power and it seems to be coming together. Or maybe they are just using the momentum from last night. I do think it is weird how scores seem to keep going up though. Maybe MLB should crack down on steroid use. I think games that have around ten runs for the winning team are the best. Sort of a balance between good offense and good defense. I also like games that end with a score of 1-0 or 2-1. Those are good games too. Come to think of it, I just like baseball

This is good for the Red Sox. I went to the Monday game (Angels vs Red Sox) and they lost. I should have picked either of the next two nights to go.
