Couldn't believe I had to use my closer to protect what was a 12 run lead in the ninth inning:

RANGERS WIN: 16-13

Being September I put in the AAA guys after the 7th, but the last 3 relievers were bullpen regulars. Sheesh.

lol .. I have see the Reds relief staff blow it too many times by 3 and 4 runs but at least you got that win.

I see you produced 10 runs yourself in the 5th. Was there a hurricane blowing out to center field that game?

Could be. Some innings seem to get stuck in can't get 'em out mode. By the way, the Rangers blanked the Jays 16-0 the next game.

One thing I keep watching for is a game where a team scores in every inning. Haven't seen it yet.
