Ok, it is about the time when the Rangers have a sit down talk with some of their stars...shape up or GET OUT! This is my way of thinking here after watching the last two games and seeing them comeback on the first game and then drop it in the eleventh inning. The only good thing that come out of this game one is that Ian Kinsler went on to make his 8th homerun of the season. Kinsler is going to try to tie the Rangers record for homeruns in April with 9 and honestly if there is anyone that can do it it is him.

Then game two of the series came along and yet again these guys could not get the bats hot. Everyone is placing blame on the new manager right now...it is NOT him he doesn't swing the bats the players do they just need to step up and listen to this guy and I guarantee you they will do better. One good thing come out of this game two though and that is Sammy Sosa went deep twice giving him 6 on the season and giving him the record for most homeruns in different parks(44 different ballparks).

The Texas Rangers need to get in shape or GET OUT...you remember me saying that at the beginning of this blog. I BELIEVE IT...Padilla is one that really needs to shape up and start doing what is expected of him...this CRAP of him pouting because he can't throw inside is like I said CRAP. The Rangers have something new they are trying to do that they are not used to and that is NOT pounding the ball...Washington wants the ball in play and doesn't want the guys to try and blast the ball all the time...yes, the same mentality that his Asst. Coach Arte Howe had in Oakland and it worked when they did it. The whole point to this is to get the guys to get the ball in play and not try killing it all the time. I will tell you this these guys are starting to come together and when they do like I have said many times this will be a team that is a force to recon with. So guys let's get this party started and get this team where they are capable of being IN THE PLAYOFFS.
