August 23rd, 2007Rangers Slugfest

After last night’s 30-3 Rangers beat down on the Orioles, Bud should consider implementing the Little League 10 run rule. Really, do teams not sure mercy anymore in sports? Do managers not replace starters when their teams are winning by 10 runs, let alone 20 or even 30!
“This is something freaky. You won’t see anything like this again for a long, long time. I am glad I was on this end of it,” said Marlon Byrd, who hit one of two Texas grand slams.
And the thing is, the Rangers went scoreless in the first 3 innings. So it’s not like they were mashing all game. They scored 30 runs on 29 hits in only 6 innings. What does that say for Baltimore’s relief pitching problem? The Baltimore Ravens who play across the street haven’t given up 30 points in 2 years!
