I’m out here at “The Trop” in St. Pete and have just witnessed Rangers history! We won a playoff game! And, frankly, not only did we win ... we roughed up those Rays pretty good. I’ve been waiting a long time for this and I can tell you it was pure greatness... (Here are a couple of videos: celebrating victory on the field and batting practice, and a photo of the first pitch.)
My wife, Deb, and son Josh, and daughter Kelly, and I were all wearing our Rangers Red in this sea of blue here at Tropicana Field. And we proudly threw out the “claw” and “antlers.” In fact, here's Josh being interviewed by the St. Petersburg Times. (Click to read the story.)Cliff Lee had a few rough spots but otherwise was unhittable, retiring 12 straight at one point. And with Cliff pitching like this, all you need are a couple of runs ... and our offense sure produced today.
Like I said in an interview on KCBI radio after the game, this is a confident team, and definitely the best Rangers team I’ve seen on the field in a long, long time.
We are having a blast and are looking forward to winning tomorrow’s game with C.J. on the mound, and then closing out the series at home on Saturday!
