No excuses from me...I'm sorry I haven't posted during the last two games.  Just too busy, and my wife has the flu.  I'll try to do better.

Also no excuses for the Rangers last night.  They had FAR too many chances with runners in scoring position. Yes, it sucks that Hand and Michael were out.  Yes, Vasquez probably beat the tag on that pick-off.  But there is NO EXCUSE for leaving so many runners on base, and NO EXCUSE for getting picked off in that situation.  Whether he made it back or not, he shouldn't have been that far out there.

I'm hoping we can move Bradley, Blalock, and Salty before the deadline.  Then we can bring up Cruz and give him ONE LAST CHANCE in center field.  Either that, or trade him instead of Bradley.  I prefer to keep Laird, but if we get a really good arm for him I'd let him go.
