Halfway point: Rangers trail Angels by 1 game after 9-4 loss

Rangers ace Kevin Millwood got smoked, and Texas now trails the LA Angels in the AL West again by a game after Monday night's 9-4 loss. Discussion points: Are you concerned about Kevin Millwood? He's been less than effective in his last two starts. Josh Hamilton had a couple of hits and ran the bases well. What did you think of his return? Would you rather see him at DH for a few games? Ian Kinsler looked better at the plate his last couple of bats, ended his 0-fer and hit one out off a good pitcher. But his first two ABs were pretty shaky. Are you comfortable with him in the leadoff spot? Think David Murphy might be in the starting lineup tonight in Game 2 vs. LA? And here's some perspective. Everybody that had the Rangers nine games over .500 and trailing the Angels by one game in the AL West after 81 games before the season, raise your hands. What are your thoughts?
