I've been away awhile so let's talk some baseball. The Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 10-8 earlier this evening thanks to a pair of home runs from Second Baseman Ian Kinsler(above) and 6 solid innings from starting pitcher Kevin Millwood. The Rangers have now won 5 games in a row and are 21-14 overall leading the American League West Division. This marks the first time the Rangers have been 7 games over .500 since early in the 2005 season. Josh Hamilton, who also homered in the game, has knocked one out of the park in 3 of the last 4 games since his return to the big leagues after a rehab stint in the minors and seems to be getting back into All-Star form. The West is a very winnable division this year and I am surprisingly optimistic about their chances even though it's early. We just can't rely on winning games 10-8 so often. Millwood had a good game and the offense had already put several runs on the board for him before he left only to have the bullpen give up 5 runs in the top of the 9th.
