Cowboys might be tough this year

Texas 30, Baltimore 3 / Box Score

Paul Shuey might start thinking about moving on down the road. First, you're coming into a 21-3 game and then you proceed to give up 9 more runs in two innings. His ERA is 9.49.

Baltimore lead 3-0 after 3 innings...and it's the first game of a doubleheader!

BALTIMORE (AP) -- The Texas Rangers became the first team in 110 years to score 30 runs in a game, setting an American League record Wednesday in a 30-3 rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Trailing 3-0 in the opener of a doubleheader, the Rangers scored five runs in the fourth, nine in the sixth, 10 in the eighth and six in the ninth. It was the ninth time a major league team scored 30 runs, the first since Chicago set the major league scoring record in a 36-7 rout of Louisville in a National League game on June 28, 1897, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ramon Vazquez, the bottom two batters in Texas' lineup, each finished with seven RBIs. The Rangers' 29 hits were the most in the major leagues since Milwaukee had 31 in a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, according to Elias.

I just thought Yahoo! had fucked up again, then I went to MLB...whoa.

Now will they split the double-header?

And do you include this in the pythagreums (sp?) at the end of the year for Texas...because this is the definition of "outlier"...
