Rangers sweep the All-Stars

Posted on July 16, 2008 | Comments Off on Rangers sweep the All-Stars

Mr. Boy had to regretfully go to bed before the eighth inning, so he missed seeing the game drag on through fifteen innings and the Rangers’ Michael Young finally put it away, 4-3, with an RBI. Neat. After Hamilton’s record-breaking, homer-hitting performance the other night, Young’s ending the game for the AL’s twelfth victory in a row, kept the focus where we wanted it, on the Rangers. Now let their pitching improve (please, Lord) and may their second half of the season be as sweet!

Mr. Boy had his hero worship more than confirmed last night watching Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton hit a record twenty-eight HRs in the first round of the All-Stars Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium–thirteen in a row! JH finished with thirty-six homers, although he didn’t win the thing, which is explained here. But the night was his as the stadium crowd chanted his name. Me and Mr. B. will be looking for Josh and the other Ranger All-Stars–Milton Bradley, Ian Kinsler, and Michael Young–in tonight’s game.

Might sound like a law firm but these guys are the top four hitters of the Texas Rangers, and Mr. B. was thrilled to discover this morning on the way to day camp that they’re all new AL all-stars.
