2008 Texas Rangers Opening Day @ Seattle Mariners

[Molina00]

1) Broussard goes down swinging for the 3rd time today to start the 7th.
2) Kinsler follows by striking out.
3) Young grounds a single through the right side to breakup Green's bid for a 1-2-3 inning.

Green is out of the game. Lefty Eric O'Flaherty is coming out of the pen to finish the inning.

4) Hamilton pops out in foul territory to end the inning.

Who is this David Murphy guy? I just picked him up for my fantasy team. I hear he is going to be a starter in the outfield. Is he a promising ballplayer?

[Molina00]

I don't really know that much about him, but the Rangers got him last season when they traded Gagne to Boston. He had a really good showing for Texas last year batting .340 with a .382 OBP in just over 100 AB's. He was a Red Sox 1st round pick back in 2003 as well.

The game went about like expected. Whenever the Rangers get good starting pitching (which in itself is an event ) they can't get the bats going. Oh well.

[Turn 2]

I am going to see how he does as my 5th OF.
