Rogers Goes Sean Penn, Rangers Win In 11: Rangers 7, Angels 6

It hadda end sometime, but it was a really encouraging win anyway. D-Mac getting that pinch-hit homer against their closer in the ninth was super sweet. This is a team that needs some power, and if Dallas can supply it, so much the better.

Not a good outing for Lackey, who kept getting nibbled to death by a Rangers team that seems on its way to an offensive, if not pitching, resurgence. Kenny Rogers' wacky meltdown continued today, when he threw down and kicked a TV news camera:

"I'll break every ... one of them," Rogers said before he was escorted to the clubhouse by catcher Rod Barajas.
Larry Rodriguez of KDFW was taken off the field on a litter, and taken by ambulance to the Medical Center of Arlington, where he was examined for injuries. He was later released with a clean bill of health. The same can't be said for Rogers' career. Despite assurances that the watercooler/punching bag incident won't affect Rogers' contract extension talks -- even despite tonight's episode -- I can only believe that this is a smokescreen. The Rangers need Rogers now; next year can take care of itself. Boras or no Boras, Rogers is -- literally -- damaged goods now, and time is now on the Rangers' side.

Recap


Comments:
He has got to egt a suspension out of this - if Donnelly gets a day for a dirty glove without throwing a pitch, KR should get a month minimum.
 
I hope they suspend him for a couple months.
 
I rarely take the cameraman's side in these sort of things (doesn't it seem like this happens waaaaay too often?), but when I watch that video, I see assault. There’s got to be a suspension here.
