Post-Game Quotes
RANGERS MANAGER RON WASHINGTON: What a roller coaster. That has to be a difficult loss to take: Any time you loseespecially when you go to extra inningsits difficult, but they took it from us. We had our chance and they took it back and they finally took it from us. Joe Nathan, who had been so efficient in the first two games of the series, but the wily veteran got to him quickly: Ibaez is a good hitter and he went up there looking for the first pitch fastball. He got it where he wanted it and he didnt miss it. With the double-header tomorrow I bet the last thing you wanted to do here was empty your bench and your bullpen: No doubt about it but you cant control the way a baseball game goes so well figure it out tomorrow. Hopefully Perez and Darvish can give us nine innings in each game and everything works out good. You think Ibaez was looking for that pitch? Undoubtedly he was, he hit it. Veteran hitter went up there looking for the first thing to smoke and he got on it.
