i for one am not harping on HFA but on the other hand, i do know that baseball for a long time now is a game of match-ups. Whether we win or lose this series, and i am not conceding anything at this point, Hamels or not, is that the Rangers is a tough match up for us - specifically how essentially they have 2 aces based on how we do against Gallardo. On the other end of the spectrum, you can say we match up well against Yanks and Royals. "Stros are debatable
So from a _match up_ point of view, Rangers is not the most ideal... IMO
