add another inning to that total, with 2 more k's, no more hits.  quick inning. it's actually possible that he comes back out again.  he looked as strong that inning as he has all game!

Lee's a beast.  11 k's, 2 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk through 7. 32 k's, 13 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk in 23 innings this post season.

[quote name="beechnut" post="880227" timestamp="1287454235"] These guys today make such a big deal about pitch count. Heard today that Bob Gibson use to throw anywhere from 185 to 200 pitchers a game. He said todays pitchers "are out of shape" and need to go longer. Love Gibby bc hit a homer off of him and next time up chin music. [/quote] if i'm washington, i ride his arm as long as i can.  120 pitches, 130 pitches as long as he's still getting outs... this is a must win, and he probably won't be a ranger next year anyway, so who cares if you wear his arm down.

i'd feel a lot better about this game if that ball hamilton hit a few innings back had cleared the fence...

great job to get out of it.  only scary thing is his pitch count is at 97.  i don't think the rangers are going to be able to ride him for a full 9 tonight, and the bullpen has been shaky.  very shaky.

big strikeout for lee with runner on 2nd and no outs... and another big out... let's see if he can strand gardner on 3rd.

this ump has a wider strikezone away from lefties.

Lee with 9 k's through 5.

ah "oh s***" swing by jorge bloops a ball the opposite way for the first yankee hit of the night.

smoak has the potential to be very good.  i thought it was funny that he came into arlington at the end of the year after the trade and homered in all 3 games of the series against his old team :)

lee with 7 k's, 1 bb, 0 hits through 4.  he's a beast!

Young had a great at bat the hitter before hamilton, fighting back from 0-2 to single after an 11 pitch at-bat.  the hr hamilton hit looked like he hit it off the end of the bat... he has some serious strength!  25 pitches for petitte in the 1st!

Hamilton with a 2-run homer in the 1st!!!!  The Rangers haven't figured out the yanks bullpen yet, but they've absolutely rocked the starters!!!

I don't know who is now, but lumberton was far and away the worst when i first came to the board, and they were making the playoffs for the first time in however long... there were about 10 new threads a day being created by l-towners who were beating their own chests... that being said, they've had a good team for several years now, and have mellowed out. 

they suck so bad that, even if they manage to make it to the NCG, they'll lose to an inferior team by 3 TDs... just like they always do.

[quote name="beechnut" post="877578" timestamp="1287277568"] Congrads bullets. [/quote] thanks... this is a playoff run i've been waiting about 23 years for (i can remember rooting for the rangers when i was about 4 years old)

[quote name="(13)" post="877469" timestamp="1287271943"] [quote author=bullets13 link=topic=74535.msg877436#msg877436 date=1287270964] come on. oliver with a walk.  here we go again. [/quote] bullets, I don't know if I want to read all the UT and aggie threads today.  did that hornet06 derelict show up on the UT game thread? [/quote] of course not.  the ags lost, and the horns won, so he won't show up this weekend.

come on. oliver with a walk.  here we go again.

well, it's 7-2 going to the 8th, and the yankees' mvp darren oliver is back in.  i gotta go. if the yanks come back again, i might not get on after i break the tv and computer when i get home.

whew!  the guy i'd never heard of filled up the count, but got a big strikeout with 2 on!  7-2, rangers up!

here we go with the bullpen again.  washington going with the guy i've never heard of again.  if washington screws this up again, i'm driving to dallas and shoving one of his crackpipes up his butt.

joba comes in, gets to within 1 strike of striking out the side and stranding kinlser, but moreland slaps a single to the opposite field.  7-1, rangers.

6-1, double by cruz, triple by ian, runner on 3rd, 0 outs, 5th inning.

Cruz has two doubles that have been about a total of 3 feet short of being homeruns.

Fat Elvis with a 2-out rbi, but gets caught in a rundown.  5-1.
