The Tears of Hank Blalock

It was a bad day at the office for Doc when he discovered that the Rangers can kind of hit. He was completely dialed in to his plate-dominating , name-taking, kitten-eating ways save for a few pitches and the Rangers made him pay. And yell "God-damn it!" after the 7th inning, an inning in which he gave up a homer to Ian Kinsler.

The Jays hit too, but stupid Michael Young made a killer play to snare Rod Barajas' drive down the third base line that would've meant runs.

The home plate ump took Hank Blalock's broken bat barrel to the head and had to be taken out on a stretcher. It looked really ugly for Kerwin Danley cause he hit the ground like a ton of bricks and George Poulis was out there before the play was even completed. Apparently, according to the Texas broadcast, Blalock was crying. I couldn't tell, but maybe it was manly tears. Like a single , stoic tear. It wasn't Blalock dropping to his knees and screaming to the heavens, saying "Why, God? WHYYYYYY!?!?!?" while clutching his head. Which would have been more obvious. And certainly more entertaining.

Tonight, David Purcey tries (and probably fails) to find the strike zone.
