Rangers Limp Out of Detroit

Just some quick thoughts for today.

Rangers were swept in Detroit and now move on to Houston.

Disappointing series, especially yesterday when Millwood was simply left in the game too long and Michael Young wasn't able to come up with the ninth inning RBI with a man on third. 4-3 loss and a hard one to swallow.

More bad news on the injury front...Vicente Padilla, who's pitching really well right now, is headed to the DL. One interesting thing to come from this, is that Derek Holland will be getting his first start in his young career. Kid Miracle will debut in a big hitters park...just missed Detroit's roomy 26,341 foot outfield.

I'll be extremely interested to see what he can do.

Also, some other notes...

Neftali Feliz went 6 innings for OKC and gave up 1 run while striking out 4. Not a bad outing for Feliz...we may see him soon.

Angels took two out of three from Seattle and now close the gap between themselves and the Rangers to 2 games.

Jake Peavy is on the trade block and while he wants to stay in the National League, I think Texas has to at least place a phone call. Remember me mentioning a possible trade involving Kris Davis? This may be the deal that you can justify moving Davis out of town and bringing Smoak up to the Majors.

That's all for today. I'll update you Monday...possibly sometime over the weekend.
