Awesome game, Matthews hit for the cycle .

Yeah, but I like the fact that the ex-Brewer hit not 1, but 2 dingers for the Rangers today... And Michael Young who is quickly climbing my chart as one of my favorite players in the game had a dinger and 3 RBI's, I guess hitting the cycle is pretty good too

Matthews did every good thing possible in this game except steal a base. He not only hit for the cycle but also walked once, scored 3 runs, and drove in 3 runs. I would say he did pretty good. Very nice to see Lee finally getting some homeruns though. He has been somewhat disappointing in the power department, although there isn't much way you can complain about his overall performance as a Ranger.

Great to hear about you and Mike Young too. He probably put himself on the map more so during the all-star game, but more people need to realize just what a great player he is.

Yep... I agree with you once again!
