Baseball Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous baseball thoughts and observations.

With their loss yesterday to the Red Sox - the Texas Rangers are now just 5-29 when scoring less than 7 runs. That's pretty incredible when you think about it. The Rangers have almost no chance of winning a low scoring game... Scott Proctor - according to the State of New York - you are the assman. Proctor comes into the game in the 7th with the Yankees leading 2-1. He then walks three and gives up a hit. He leaves without recording an out and with the Angels now leading 4-2. Assman should be Proctor's nickname everywhere and not just here at A Large Regular (and this is coming from a Red Sox fan)... Before the season started there were many pundits who thought the Reds were going to be playoff contenders. Now they have the worst record in baseball. That last sentence was brought to you by the managements of the Washington Nationals, Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals... Happy big 5-0 to Kirk Gibson.... The Cubs are a sub-500 team but have outscored their opposition by 26 runs so far. Fans of the Pythagorean theorem will tell you that the Cubs are a better team then their record and have just been unlucky so far. I bet they heat up and have something like an 8-game winning streak in the next month...
