Would love for the rangers to take at least 2 of 3.  the As are a scarier team to me than the angels.  the angels have no pitching anymore.  the As have the pitchers, defense, and young batters to get on a roll, just like last year.  the further we can get ahead of them early on, the better.

Game 1 goes to the a's, 5-1.

Derek Holland (TEX)

Bartolo Colon (oak)

The Athletics are the defending division champions for a reason... They are a scary team that is not flashy, but is capable of catching the Rangers again...

With that said, Holland will throw a gem tonight!!!

TEXAS wins game 2, 6-5.
