There isn’t a lot on the Rangers major league roster to get misty eyed over. But, according to Major League Pipeline, there is someone to get excited about. The Rangers placed one player on the Prospect Of The Year team. And it’s nobody anybody had predicted. He’s not on anyone’s […]
Guaranteed Sweep Weekend is over. It was like Players Weekend where every player played under a whacky nicknames for an entire series. Only with Guaranteed Sweep Weekend, every Ranger impersonated a Hall of Famer for the weekend. And they didn’t have to wear those ugly all-white uniforms. The Rangers swept […]
Everybody has that brother-in-law or cousin or childhood friend who is a total screw up. Against your better judgment, you let him use your car. He wraps it around a pole. You let him sleep on the couch. He falls asleep smoking and burns holes in it. You let him […]
Games like last night against teams like the Orioles bring up ideas like this one. Maybe baseball should reorganize to where the teams that declare at the beginning of each season that they aren’t trying to put out a competitive team are placed in a separate division and they play […]

Edinson Volquez re-emerged from oblivion the other day. He pitched a scoreless inning in a meaningless loss to Seattle at home. The inning he pitched was anything but meaningless. September is will mean the world to him. Volquez was part of the Tommy John Trio that included fellow surgery patients […]
