The first three months of the season are in the books. Well, because of the lockout ending so late, it’s more like two-and-a-half months. Still, while there have been ups and downs, at least it’s a book that’s holding your interest. Unlike like year when you wanted to douse it […]
As a handy guide to Rangers fans, the helpful staff at RR3 has compiled a list of Ten Things You Don’t Want To Travel With. For your convenience, it is reprinted below: TEN THINGS YOU DO NOT WANT TO TRAVEL WITH: A screaming baby. 2. A puppy. 3. Your ex. […]
Wait. So that’s what it looks like when Marcus Semien and Corey Seager both show up on the same night? That was good. Really good. Rare, but good. This was the offensive combination the Rangers imagined when they plunked a few hundred million dollars at these two players in free […]
Rangers fans have seen this before. In fact, eight times before. Since the Rangers finally reached .500 on May 31st, only to then immediately lose seven of its next nine games, they had crawled back to within two games of .500 eight times before last night. They lost all eight […]

This is one of those rare weeks when the Rangers had two off-days. The good thing about that is, it allows them to skip their fifth man in the rotation. Off-days also give the staff at RR3 time to check the Rangers stats and leader boards. After 68 games, the […]
It’s funny how this sport, and every other major league sport, has done a 180 on its opinion or and support for gambling. Ever since the Black Sox scandal of 1919, gambling has been a taboo subject in Major League Baseball, and rightfully so. The integrity of the game is […]
It was a dream, right? It wasn’t real, right? Martin Perez’s career had always been punctuated by stretches of brilliance wrapped around far too many longer stretches of frustration.
