No Glory Blog: Let's Go 2014 Texas Rangers!

One of the Loveliest Things About Baseball Is...

You just can't ever figure it out.

So, I've been holding off blogging for a while I was really busy the weekend they swept the Rockies and then they just... kept... winning. So I didn't want to break the streak. Six in a row and then it was another busy weekend. So anyway, yeah, things have been good:

Good Things Over the Past 10 Days

• Corey Hart getting hot and getting into the number 2 spot of the lineup
• Yo! with 5 quality starts in a row
• Marcum for the most part automatic
• Granky rounding into form
• A Real Wolf going back to Dr. Jekyll for 3 starts
• Ricky the fuego
• Braun and Fielder hot at the same time
• Tony Plush is back
  
• The bullpen in general (only runs given up in last week, 2 by something called "Tim Dillard" who I think won a contest to make the team)
• Jon Lucroy the greatest hitting catcher of all time
  

Bad Things Over the Past 10 Days

• Mark Kotsay, Carlos Gomez, Yuni B. are still awful
• Chris Narveson is pitching like a 5th starter
• The bunting. The endless bunting. I know they won a game with a squeeze bunt. I mean the sacrifices.
• Stink bugs. These things drive me crazy.
• Uecker does not identify home runs well. There have been about a dozen "Get up!" calls that got me excited, followed by silence and confusion and possibly people cheering a catch.
  
• The defense. We will have to live with some bad defense this year. Maybe we can win.

Anyway, the Brewers are currently proving that no hot streak is too hot that they can't lose in Cincinnati. But, and this is a BIG BUT... how can you lose a game when Carlos Gomez and Josh Frickin Wilson go back to back jack??
