Same Old Rangers?

I'm not ready to say that yet. The sky is falling, but they still have a chance. Bottom line is they are playing a 96-win team with a top-flight manager. Washington may have mis-handled the pitching in game 3, but really the Rays just out-hit us in both games, like we did the first 2 games. And, Hamilton's first playoff experience is turning ugly. Whether his timing is off from the layoff in September, or he is just trying too hard, the other Rangers look to him for a spark, and he isn't giving it. He is seeing what other stars find out in the playoffs, good pitching almost every night and a steady diet of breaking stuff. Well, we gave up our top prospect to get Cliff Lee for exactly this situation. Deciding game on the road with little margin for error. A $100 million contract waiting. Can he come through again?
