Another Bullpen Meltdown - Rangers Lose 7-6 In 10th

This is what happens when a tired, overworked bullpen is constantly forced into spot duty by starting pitchers who can't seem to last more than six innings on a good day. This time, at least, the Texas Rangers (50-36) got seven solid innings of two-run baseball from starter Scott Feldman and held a four-run lead in the ninth inning before everything went to hell in a hand basket.

Just when you thought the New York Yankees would add yet another weapon to it's evil empire, the Rangers swooped in and took the pitcher with the best ERA in the American League.

"We haven't won anything yet but we feel like we're in our best position to put our best foot forward," Rangers' GM Jon Daniels said. "We've always said if we had a chance to improve, we would. We're excited about it."

Bullpen Blows It - 6-4

For the last couple of months of the season, the bullpen for the Texas Rangers (50-35) seemed to have shrugged off it's rocky start to the season. Old habits die hard, however, as the bullpen reverted to early-season form in blowing a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning against the worst team in baseball - the Baltimore Orioles (26-59).
