LWW Holland will mow us down...young, highly-touted starter we haven't seen before. You know how it goes.
Heads up to the Austin area viewers - Digital Channel 42-2 (Retro TV) has been carrying all of the Rangers games, so you should be able to catch the series on it.
There was a paragraph at the end of the Round Rock Express game recap in teh Statesman this morning that says that Edwin Maysonet was called up. I can't find any corresponding transactions, though. Statesman article

If you compare the pitching coach, hitting coach, and bench coach of the Astros and Rangers, it's no match.
Matsui really looks lost at the plate. Not sure what's going on with him. He's swinging at pitches in the dirt consistently.
Two RBI singles that just got through for the 'stros. Nice to see them come back tonight. Not that it's important to us, but Elvis is a stud at SS. Just made a really nice play to get Matsui to end the rally.
