Don't call it a comeback . . . .
That was the score of the first game of the Texas-Baltimore doubleheader this afternoon. The 30 is what the Rangers hung on the O's. OUCH. Not a typo. Sorry TMcD. Thirty runs is an AL record. AL record? Does that mean that there's an NL game with a higher one-team total?

It's that Peter Angelos magic. Just when I was starting to feel as if the Birds' perpetual fourth place finish would be happier than usual, they give up the most runs since the Chicago COLTS (now Cubs) in 1897. Holy cow!
My favorite stat? The 7-8-9 hitters for last-place Texas went 13 for 19 with 14 RBIs. You will never see that again.
One thing to notice, however. The Birds used only four pitchers, no doubt to save some of the bullpen for the second game, in which they're currently tied 7-7.
They already set the record for runs scored in a double-header...in the first game. Not to mention that it's now 9-7 Texas.
Yet another ridiculous quirk of this game: a Texas reliever earned a save for pitching the last three innings.
Yeah--that save. I saw that last night. That's a fluke, eh? He saved the Rangers from a 27 run comeback by the birds?
