YTD 2-2
Texas -128
Yesterday they had too much offense for Tampa at home, and Fossum was a dead duck... Now Oakland limps into town having lost 4 of 5... They are banged up, with injuries to Street and Bubba... Blanton's last 2 starts have been utter disasters, giving up 21 hits in 10 innings... Texas is NOT where you want to go when you are in bad form... He has a good low 90's fastball and good slider, but something is clearly wrong with him and like I said, I don't think at Texas is the place to get it right... Young/Texeira/Nevin/Blalock is murder, and the lefty Blalock is 5-for-11 against Blanton with two doubles and a HR... Millwood going for Texas, and he just shut down Oakland with ease last week... He is now 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in three starts against Oakland in his career... If he keeps the ball DOWN, which can be his weakness, he should handle Oakland with his slider, sinker, and fastball... Texas comes streaking in having won 6 of 7... The pen got some rest today... All in all, I like the setup of this game at an extremely cheap price for a surging Texas team at home... Besides, Chuck Norris was Walker, Texas Ranger... And Chuck Norris doesn't associate himself with anything that loses
