CJ Wilson and the bullpen combined on a 2 hitter [/quote]Can they beat the Yankees or Twins for a chance to go to their 1st World Series?? [/quote] Lee and Wilson are front line starters, the bullpen is good, and the offense has a good mix of speed and power that can manufacture runs.  There is no reason they can't make the WS, but they need to win 1 more game first.

Rangers running game is in Shields head.  He made a bad throw to give up run then just fell off of the mound throwing a pitch.

E1 scores run. Rangers lead 1-0

A friend posted this on FB: Where does Halladay rank among the great modern pitchers: Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Schilling, Beckett, Johnson, and Clemens? Roy still has some years left to catch up with those guys numbers.  If he hadn't been hidden in Canada for all of those years, this argument may be a little different.

4-0 Phils lead in the 2nd Volquez out after 1.2 innings.  This may be a short series.

Halladay rbi Phils lead 2-0

Rangers win 5-1.  Cliff Lee looked great and the bats took advantage of Price's mistakes.  Good win for Texas

Rangers swinging away on 3-0.  Good scouting on their part,  Price is getting behind and throwing the ball in the middle of the plate.

VLAD RBI double on another 3-0 count 5-0  Rangers

[quote name="bullets13" post="867210" timestamp="1286390826"] after two long innings in which lee gave up 4 hits and had 5 k's, which ballooned his pitch count, he had a much needed 7-pitch 1-2-3 inning in the 3rd. [/quote] Lee needs a few more quick innings.  He is already at 50 pitches after 3.

Molina solo HR. 4-0 Rangers The Rangers are getting some good swings on Price.

Nelson Cruz solo HR. 3-0  Rangers lead

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="867165" timestamp="1286388038"] 2010 MLB World Series Odds To Win: Philadelphia Phillies 3/2 New York Yankees 5/2 Tampa Bay Rays 3/1 San Francisco Giants 8/1 Minnesota Twins 8/1 Texas Rangers 10/1 Cincinnati Reds 12/1 Atlanta Braves 15/1 [/quote] Philly has the complete team and should be the favorite.  No one can match up on the mound 1-3 and they can hit with anyone.  Baseball is a funny game, and any team that gets hot can win the whole thing.  I'll cheer for the Rangers, but Hamilton not being healthy hurts them.  As long as the Yanks don't win I'll be ok with it.
