TEXAS RANGERS....Behind a Complete Job by TEXAS Pitcher Martin PEREZ the RANGERS get three waiting on four from the In-State 'STROS and that is SEVEN in a row and a share of the AL West Lead for the RANGERS..."WEEKEND BENDERS" In-State Battle "TEXAS-Sized Hardball"

They will play game #4 on Monday but the Rangers are rolling with all Systems on go as they have taken the fist three of four in 'Stros Park in Clutch City.

Behind LHP Martin Perez' Complete Job allowing one run on four hits while striking out eight the Rangers roll the 'Stros 6-1. The one run was compliments of a Solo Shot by 'Stros DH Chris Carter. The Rangers have won seven in a row as we go to press are tied in the AL West with the Swingin' A's.

New Ranger OF Alex Rios is making all kinds of new friends in that Rangers Clubhouse as he goes 2 for 4 with a run scored as he knocks in two Ducks off the pond. Rangers Star Hot Corner Adrian Beltre went 2 for 4 as well and he has to be thinking nothing like protection in that hitting order. I will be taking the "Express" (Fastball) a lot for get the Local (Curveball).  The Rangers Brass get a Round of Applause" for that pick up and that might just get them in the "Fight for October" and the AL West Division Title.

The Rangers are now tied with the A's as they beat the Blue Birds North of the Border earlier. If you had to pick one or the other talking Rangers and A's I would have to go with the Rangers after picking up Rios and adding Garza to go with Holland and Yu "I will Survive" Darvish.
