I went to the game last night and what I saw besides a lot of rain was a Rangers team that looks awfully tough with a bullpen that is nuclear. The Rangers addressed their biggest need before the trade deadline and that was their bullpen. It was on display last night. Nelson Cruz hitting a home run off of Verlander could be bad news for Detroit. Cruz has been in a big slump since coming back from his injury and he's the type of player when he gets hot can carry the Rangers. Add him to their many other weapons and I can't see them not beating Detroit especially with Detroit now being without Magglio Ordonez and Young.
