Best part of Wednesday&#8217;s 3-1 A&#8217;s loss? It only took 2 hours, 22 minutes, the shortest game of the year at Rangers Ballpark. It leaves me the rest [...]]]></description>

Somehow managed not to get struck by lightning today &#8230; If you&#8217;re a diehard A&#8217;s fan that keeps tabs on the organization at all levels, you probably noticed that Japanese infielder Hiro Nakajima played second base Monday night (with Jemile Weeks at shortstop) for the Sacramento RiverCats.

We always liked to see Greg Maddux coming, and Mark Mulder, and Mike Mussina. And yes, Bartolo Colon, any time, anywhere. Even in Rangers Ballpark. Actually, especially at Rangers Ballpark.

I have yet to run over an armadillo in my rental car, but it&#8217;s a long week &#8230; Asked Bob Melvin before the game if this was a good time to be coming into Texas, even without Josh Reddick and Brett Anderson.
