Ubaldo at 84 pitches as the 5th begins.

In July he had outings of 112, 117 and 120.

Hopefully he can get through 6 innings tonight.

A couple of long fouls this inning. Hamilton and Cruz.

7 K's through 5 innings for Jimenez.

That bodes well.

Sloth Duncan and Santana caught stealing so far.

At least they each had dingers.

Hmm Chad Durbin and Arlington?

Why do I not like this combination

Rangers telecast has a very cute and effervescent "girl in the stands." I know they all are, but her more than most.

Right now she's interviewing a firefighter who earlier this week rescued a cell tower worker who was stranded way up. I think she might have said 800 feet up, but not certain.

I get the Durbin part. I'm missing the Arlington connection and need to buy a vowel.

Rangers have smoked several balls that have been caught tonight, that one by Fukudome.

Rangers have two guys in the boxscore at the moment with the initials of "YT."

Bet that's one for the Elias Sports folks.

Right handed hitters batting .340 off Durbin in 2011, as he faces Andrus.

But gets him to end the inning.


7-5 and to the 7th.

Only from the perspective that the ground is for the most part a hitters park and I'm not fond of Durbin being anywhere near a close ballgame.

Now I've got it. Thanks down under.

FWIW, I believe Durbin is done tonight....I hope.


With a nod to Roger Whitaker, we're going to leave old Durbin town.

Joe Smith with another solid inning.

That guy has surprised me this year.

Still not sure it makes up for Valbuena not panning out when we traded Gutierrez, but I`ll take it.

Fukudome gets a single as the Texas announcers note he perhaps has ice water in his veins because he was born and raised at the base of an active volcano....last erupting in 2008.
