We can hope that will be the last we see of Lohse last name after TWO three run homers to Pujols.

It was pretty scary when Barnett put one in Pujols' ear but I don't think it was intentional.

How can so many injuries go on and on? Fielder and his neck have been a 2 year problem, Tommy John surgery x too many, and what next. Maybe the off season ought to be looked at and maybe a little tougher managerial input,

Would we even want Sale as a pitcher now? He sounds like a head case. While I understand his issues with the ugly uniforms, why cut EVERYONE's up instead of just his own? He deserved to be sent home like a high schooler....

I figured that there were two possibilities:
1. If he only cut up one, they could just get another for him
2. He wasn't the only one who was unhappy, and he decided to do something about it.

It's my understanding that, with the Rangers, it's the starting pitcher who determines which uniform will be worn each day. I wonder if the White Sox have a similar policy, and Sale was upset that he was being forced to go with the ugly, uncomfortable ones instead.

The conversation I heard on the radio today said that Sale and his agent had just requested a trade (maybe even earlier that day), and the uniform thing was just a stunt to force the White Sox' hand.

A thrilling win tonight on a home run by Adrian Beltre. Love that guy, certainly in my top five favorite Rangers of all-time.

One of the many things I've been wrong about was them signing him in 2011. I would make a poor GM.

Watched it on DVR fast forward late last night. Beltre's home run came about 12:05. I was in bed at 12:06.

It was a beautiful thing. As soon as Beltre started his swing, I knew he was hitting it out. It was a great comeback, great win. :D

Even though you couldn't see the arc of the ball on TV, you knew it was gone on contact.

Lost another one last night. None of the pitching was very good. :(

Rangers win a nail-biter.
