The Rangers return to Arlington with their proverbial backs against the wall. They need to figure out a way to win one of the next three games against the Blue Jays. Or else. It’s do or die time. How did they get into this predicament? Simple, the offense has […]
I remember when the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series in 1990, they did it because they had the most dominating bullpen in history. In fact, that team created the blueprint for all bullpens since. They didn’t have one closer, they had three: Rob Dibble, Norm Charlton and Randy Myers. […]
Baseball has a strange way of equalizing itself. In the first inning, Adrian Beltre walked. Then, while caught in the front end of a Prince Fielder double play, he slid hard into second base, landing awkwardly on his side and wrenching his back. Unless both of […]
Rangers fans have waited a long time for this day. Four years, in fact. Four long, dark, cold, frustrating, often ugly years. The last time the Texas Rangers won the West Division and moved onto the playoffs was 2011. Of course, they would eventually go on to the World […]
Thank you, baseball gods, for doing what every non-Yankees fan wanted you to do, although other people decide to like other sports as soccer so they get soccer cleats from sites as http://ohpsoccer.com/ online.

The Blue Jays won the season series over the Rangers 4-2. Here are some other stats to chew on until Thursday’s Game 1 against the Blue Jays in Toronto. First-half record: Second-half record: Toronto: 45-46 […]
They did it. And it all came down to the last game of the season. Game 162. What a wonderful game it was. Game 162 was more than just the last game of the season, though. In many ways, it was the most important Rangers game of the last four […]
There is nothing more to say about yesterday’s game that hasn’t already been said. Blame has been duly levied. Responsibility has been deftly deflected. Fingers have been defiantly pointed and re-pointed. Rationale has been irrationally explained. Was it the right move? Was there a way to prevent it? It doesn’t […]
No division title last night. The Rangers hit a speed bump in their quest for a worst to first season. Well, actually, it was more like a slow bump. With his fastest pitch clocking in at 82-miles-per-hour, Jered Weaver pitched a slow pitch softball game. All that was missing […]
Beltre. Tolleson. DeShields. Andrus. Diekman. Hamilton. You could just about list everyone who played yesterday as the star of the game, but that has what’s been happening to the Rangers in September (yes, I know it’s October, but it’s really like late late September). It seems to be a […]
