Millwood: "Guys are looking to me to get it done."

G86: Rangers & Millwood lose annoyingly to Seattle, 4-1

Astrosrangers_c042
Darnit. This was the same way we lost the first game in the series, more or less. Here's the bottom line. Kevin Millwood was great through six. Stunk up the joint worse than any pitcher the Rangers have ever had in the seventh. Lost the game, 4-1. Made me mad. That's pretty much it.

G140: Rangers lose very soggy game Saturday, 8-3

The Rangers were outhit 15-6. That's the bottom line, really. Kevin Millwood was ass. 3.2 innings, 8 hits, 2 walks,5 earned runs. He's out of gas it seems, and I'm starting to see rumblings that the Rangers should sit him to not let him get to his vesting option. If they...
