Pluses and Minuses: Texas Rangers

TEXAS RANGERS
-Kevin Millwood is 1-2 with a 2.10 ERA due to lack of run support, while Brandon McCarthy is 2-0 with a 4.76 ERA. The Texas offense is the deadbeat dad of baseball... it slugs a lot, is never there when you need it, but every once in a while he'll show up with random shit so he can keep his tax deduction.

+Ian Kinsler is hitting so well that his slugging looks like the Rangers' team ERA with a misplaced decimal

-Texas pitching is so bad that Kason Gabbard gave up a game winning hit when he wasn't even in the state.

+4 guys on this team have ERAs under 4.50,making this the best pitching staff in recent Texas history. Only 1 of them has double digit innings, but it'd be pretty rude to spit in the face of the team's history by pitching well over an extended period of time.

Chris Davis has more Ks than a looped Klan marquee

-Credits to reader and Texas fan Dr_Football: (on Lindstrom blowing the save and giving up 7 runs in the 9th) "[All by himself?] Around these parts, that's our set up guy"
