Unless Feliz is injured he should have been in the game in the 8th inning last night.  That performance by Holland and Lowe was inexcusable.  As of last night we had 3-6 games left to play and Feliz could pitch an inning in every one of them.  He is our best reliever and he hasn't gotten in either of the first two games??? 

I've waited since 1972 for this and the Rangers are stinking it up.  I have tickets to Game 3 and don't even want to go now!

The news that Josh Hamilton had a Synvisc injection after last night's game is very disturbing.  The fact that they turned to Synvisc and that he seems to have had an injection like this before leads to the conclusion that the cartilage damage in his knee is very advanced.

I have a bad knee and have had both Synvisc and Hylagon injections.  Both are given in a series of injections a week apart.  Synvisc is usually 3 injections, Hylagon 5.  Each injection is progressively more uncomfortable as the knee joint is already full.  The last injection feels like you just had arthroscopic knee surgery for about 24 hours.

This does not bode well for Josh' longevity in MLB, particularly as a position player.  Any team should be reluctant to a long-term commitment to someone with this type of knee problem.  He certainly may be a good player for several years but his knee could give out quickly too.  A series of one year contracts are likely in his future.
