Page 12 • Tuesday, April 27, 1999 PORTS Bronx Bombed Texas Rangers want to turn tide in their matchup with Yankees ARLINGTON(AP) — The Texas Rangers have established a dis turbing trend in dealings with the New York Yankees: on the field and off, the team from the Bronx al ways comes out on top. The Yankees swept the Rangers from the playoffs last year, beat them out for Roger Clemens in spring training and took 2-of-2 at Yankees Stadium last week. It’s no wonder then that Texas manager Johnny Oates sees the three-game series that begins at The Ballpark on Tuesday as being a little more important than most April matchups. "/t s not a do-or-die situation, but I think it's important that we beat the Yankees/' — Johnny Oates Rangers manager “It’s not a do-or-die situation, but 1 think it’s important that we beat the Yankees,” Oates said. “I think it’s important to our ballclub because. No. 1, we need to let the Yankees know we can beat them, and. No. 2, we need to let our club know we can beat them.” New York has beaten Texas in 13 of the last 16 meetings, and 23 of the last 31 — an incredible .742 winning percentage. It would be one thing if the Rangers were a stumbling club, but they have won two of the last three AL West titles and again lead the division this year. The Bronx Bombers have been especially successful in Texas, win ning four of five regular-season games at The Ballpark in 1998, then closing out the first-round playoff series with another road win. “The Yankees pretty much have had their way with us the last two. three years,’ Oates said. The Rangers thought they could reverse the trend by bringing in an ace pitcher hke Clemens and al most had him. They were so close to closing a deal with Toronto that they began planning to introduce him at a Dallas Stars hockey game (both teams are owned by Tom Hicks). But in stepped the Yankees with a package that trumped the Rangers’ best offer, sending the na tive Texan to New York. Clemens showed Texas what it could have had by beating the Rangers 4-2 last Thursday. It was his AL record-tying 17th straight victory. His first chance to set the mark comes Tuesday night against Aaron Sele, Texas’ most consistent starter thus far. Clemens (2-0, 4.07 ERA) hasn’t been his i iisu com linating self this t expect h is competitive be in high * ;ear against the Rangers, fans feeli fueled by li ing jilted a ikely boos from fter he said he wanted i to be trad ed to a Texas Facing Clemens 1 for the Rangers will be th eir most cc insistent starter thus far. Aaron Se le (3-1, 3.22). Sele lost his only regular-season start to N lew York ir i 1998 and also lost the third and final, playoff game. The rest of the pitching matchups are Orlando Hernandez versus Mark Clark on Wednesday night and Ramiro Mendoza against Mike Morgan on Thursday. Andy Pettitte was to have started Thurs day but did not bounce back well after throwing 108 pitches Saturday against Toronto. Since losing two in New York, the Rangers have won their last four. The Yankees, however, are riding a five-game winning streak that included prying the AL East lead from Toronto. Things do not get any easier for Texas after the Yankees leave. Next up is Cleveland, the other division leader.
