    I was just about to start this. He's faced the minimum (walked first hitter of the game).

    I don't believe the Rangers have even hit a ball to the outfield yet.

    I can't figure out if this is more sad for the Rangers or more impressive for the A's.

    Yeah, but it was off of Wayback Wasdin, so it shouldn't count in the stats.

    The Rangers have not hit a ball that was caught by an outfielder yet tonight.

    Rangers finally hit a ball to the outfield but Kotsay runs it down. No-no through 7.

    And the vaunted 8th is near. Showdown: Barry Zito looking to make history vs. Alfonso Soriano to spoil history again. Who will win?

    It's the vaunted all-or-nothing home run Ranger offense. When they're on, they're the best. When they're not, they're the worst.

    The reason that they aren't as good as the Yankees or Red Sox is because there is no OBP guy in the middle of the order. Just a bunch of guys hacking for home runs.

    Speaking of hacking for homers...Mench hits one to break it up. 7-1.

    Props to David Dellucci for energizing the bats with the jumper cables.

    Gameday says it was Soriano, are they wrong?

    Pitch 3 - In play, run-scoring play

    Alfonso Soriano homers (22) on a fly ball to left field.

    No, you didn't. It was Kevin Mench, not Sori.

    Yes, they do tend to swing for the fences. Here's hoping this offensive slump continues next week!

    Ha. It ain't 2002, Zito. That was inevitable.

    It wasn't Soriano, I'm sure of that.

    Barajas just doubled (not that it matters now).

    And don't forget the Rangers pitching staff has been hampered by injuries.

    Zito's season = turned around

    His past 5 starts:

    6/22 @SEA 7.1 IP 4 H 1 ER
    6/28 SEA 7.0 IP 6 H 1 ER
    7/3 CWS 8.0 IP 6 H 2 ER
    7/9 @CWS 7.0 IP 2 H 1 ER
    Tonight TEX 8.0 IP 2 H 1 ER

    In fact, after reviewing his game log, I think that he's had a very good season already. Many games he 'should have won' but did not. Athletics haven't been able to score runs for him - 4 times this year he's lost games after going at least 6 and allowing no more than 2 ER, so he'll turn in a fairly ugly record. Here's to hoping for a strong second half.

    Amazing what these Oakland pitchers have done these past two days. Harden yesterday and Zito today, amazing.
