After getting swept in the season opening series, the Rangers have crawled back to .500, but.... this tells us a little bit.....

Imagine the ERA leaders are:
1. B. McCarthy 3.75
2. K. Millwood 4.91
3. V. Padilla 6.94

You are seeing it correctly! Padilla is one of the "leaders" with 6.94 ERA, and the #1 guy in the rotation has an ERA at almost 5!

sigh.....

Also, Michael Young is batting a career high of .176.

more sigh......

Maybe the Rangers are just cursed by big contracts.

The minute Hicks decide to dig in his pocket book, the player tanks....

Remember Chris Young? The tall promising pitcher that was traded to the Padres last year...

I've always liked the guy.

I'm also surprised that the Yanks had the league's worst staff ERA.

If our rotation was worth a piece of crap, we would be a force in the AL.
It is nice to see our bats starting to come alive though.

Just an update, the Rangers are officially the WORST TEAM in the American League right now.

Michael Young was the final out.... (he didn't come through with his "big bat" AGAIN...)
