Millwood, Millwood, Millwood...I hate to say it buddy, but you're days of professional baseball are coming to an end, unless you want to go to the bull pin, then you might have a couple more years left it you.
But, despite the cringe inducing pitching last night that gave up 9 runs, the team has consistently showed one quality that has been holding them back for many years...resiliency. This team has shown that they are not willing to give up no matter how many points they're down by, and they have shown they are very capable of coming from behind to win.
Last night's game, game 2 vs. the White Sox, the Rangers fell behind, and by the middle of the eight they were down 8 to 2 and began their com back. The pitching allowed one run in the ninth, but the Rangers where down 9 to 7 with two outs and the tying run batting, which happened to be Josh Hamilton. Realistically we can't expect Josh to bail us out of every tight spot, but it is nice to know that he's done it before.
The Rangers have a chance to take two games of a three game series today before the All Star Break, and Matt Harrison, who had an incredible first start against the Halos, is coming to the mound to see what he can do against the White Sox. This game will show Harrison's true abilities, meaning he won't be running on adrenalin like he was during his major league debut.
If they can close out the game today the All Star break will be a great recoup time for many of the Rangers and give them a fresh start for their attempt at making the playoffs, and all we can do is sit back, hope and watch.
