Maybe Charlie Brown can take Feldman's spot in the rotation?

FINAL: Rangers 3, Diamondbacks 11

Come on, that’s exactly what you expected.

I must confess, I didn’t get to watch any of the game last night. A big ass Texas hail storm passed through East Dallas and had a field day on houses, cars, and everything in between. And that’s when I found my phone ringing with my old roommate calling.

The next thing I knew, I was at Home Depot buying plywood to board up all the broken windows at her house.

I think that’s a legitimate excuse.

Anyway, it must have been a wonderful game. And I hear Matt Harrison pitched a gem.

Texas Rangers 1, Arizona Diamondbacks 0.

So NOW we get good pitching AND offense?  That hasn’t happened in a while.  I guess maybe they knew Rangers fans needed something to be excited about (i.e. half-price Papa John’s) after learning Alexi Ogando was heading to the DL.

Yeah, so it worked, OK.

Colby Lewis was absolutely spectacular, perfect through 5 1/3 innings and only allowing 4 hits all night.  Don’t worry.  Despite the Cobra awesomeness, he did give up the requisite solo home run in the 8th, giving the Diamondbacks their lone run.  But I think a complete game on 106 pitches with 7 strike outs might help me get over it.

Then came the magical 6th inning…

Here’s the rundown:  Michael Young singled.  David Murphy homered into the wedge!  3-0 Rangers.  Yorvit Torrealba singled.  Mitch Moreland doubled, scoring Torrealba.  4-0 Rangers.  Craig Gentry doubled, scoring Moreland.  5-0 Rangers.  Ian Kinsler singled.  6-0 Rangers.

PHEW!

The boys tagged on 3 more runs, 2 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th.

FINAL: Rangers 9, Diamondbacks 1

Now, I want 2 in a row…

Since no one wants to talk about what happened last night, instead I’m going to look ahead.  With interleague play starting next week*, I have to ask…

*Yes, technically it’s already started since the Rangers played Houston a few weeks ago, but does that really matter?
