The Rangers celebrate after coming from behind to beat the Yankees on reserve outfielder Josh Hamilton’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.   Don’t look now, but the Rangers are 2-0 since the trade to acquire Cole Hamels was announced. While most experts do not expect the Rangers […]

  In case you were living under a rock the past twelve hours, or just returned from the Pluto probe mission, you know the Rangers finally consummated their six-months-in-the-making trade to acquire Cole Hamels from the Phillies. In fact, getting to Pluto and back didn’t take as long as the Rangers […]

In the first inning of last night’s game, the Rangers jumped all over Yankees starter Chris Capuano for five runs. Then my internet went out. I wasn’t able to see what happened after that.

Had Elvis’s glove hit this ball, the batter would have gotten three bases, and been on third for Mike Trout.   With Hector Santiago already having beaten the Rangers twice this season in three starts, boasting an […]
