Guessing Lee is done for the day.

They said on the TV telecast that he was done.

[Mean Green 93-98]

Has the broadcast mentioned anything about the attendance, estimated or announced?

Around 36K.

Happy 40th birthday, Darren Oliver.

They said both games 1 and 2 were sold out...that is all I can remember.

According to Jeff Kaplan of ESPN:

35,474 at today's game...about same as TCU-SMU

Who pitches the 9th? Oliver?

[CMJ]

But just like in 2008 they top dozen or so rows at Tropicana Field aren't sold to the public for some reason(obstructions?). If I recall they didn't sell those until the ALCS against Boston.

Feliz.

Picking up guys like Oliver, Vlad, Molina, Francouer were huge for the Rangers. These guys have been here before. Thanks JD for the foresight...

[UNT90]

Feliz.

Even with a 4 run lead?

I don't mind it. You have the break on Friday and it's not like he'd sit in for 25+ pitches. Let him get the cobwebs out in a low leverage situation.

Man is this guy squeezing the zone. Gamecast shows 3 of the 4 balls to the last hitter to have been in the strike zone.

Hello PLAYOFF Win Column!

[UNT90]

Nine game losing streak GONE.

Now to break the playoff home game losing streak...

I like the pitching matchup tomorrow, talent wise. I still wonder about playoff C.J.'s head, but hopefully he will just let it flow.
