I plan on the series threads to become more detailed, but for now I believe this is a good start.

As for the upcoming series against the Rangers I'm excited to see Jackson pitch most of all. I'm really hoping we can reign him in & make a pitcher out of him.

Texas seems improved, but not so to the point where they have a significant advantage in this series. I'm predicting a 2 games to 1 victory here by us.

The Rangers have a huge advantage against the Devil Rays at home. They've only lost to them at the Ballpark something like 3 times?

Jackson has not pitched since 3/30.....could be interesting.

I wish we had them on the tube here, or even the radio.

The Rays exposure in the Orlando market has been horrible through the years.

Wow, James Shields is the best pitcher on either team.

Lots of runs coming.

Aki with the 2 run single in the second, plus TWO, two run saving gems at 3rd. This guy is unbelievable.

How long is Zobrist going to stay in the lineup?

I don't think Jackson has thrown a first pitch strike all night.

He's pitching well. His control has improved.

It has, but that's a weakness today. Looks good though.

Bullpen in soon so it's about to go wrong.

E Jax is done for the night, but I liked what I saw. Fastball location was decent, that slider was breaking like a curveball but he was a little wild with it. Only one BB. Rock solid.

Talbot throws 6 hitless in his first AAA start. Fastball at 94. He's gonna be a good one.

Shawn Camp is a lot of things ot a lot of people. But above all, he's one ugly bugger. He should definitely tuck the ears in the cap.

Camp comes in and ensures that the two Jackson left on come in to score. Good old Camp. The new Travis Harper.
