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 […]
Four games left. The Rangers are about to do the impossible. Okay, not impossible. Improbable. Go from worst to first. Right now they are two-and-a-half games up on Houston and three games up on the Angels with four games left. Against the Angels. There are too man scenarios and such to […]
Ian Kinsler’s attempt to single-handedly put the dagger in the heart of the Rangers failed as Drew Stubbs miraculously caught up to his tailing line drive to end the game and preserve an agonizing 7-6 win for the Rangers, and possibly preserve their season. You paid your ticket. You […]
Remember when you were five and you learned that if you don’t have anything good to say about someone, don’t say anything at all? The following is dedicated to the Rangers performance in last night’s game: […]
Cy Young candidate Dallas Keuchel came into yesterday’s game an amazing 14-0 at home. 15-0 would be a record for undefeated home wins in a single season. He got that. Talk about the opposite of a road warrior. After yesterday’s sparkling 4-2 victory over the Rangers, Keuchel is now […]
Here are a couple things to think about as the Rangers stare down the final eight games of the regular season. This thing is far from over and far from won. It sure is nice to have a three-and-a-half game lead with eight to play. But the Rangers had […]
Pigs flew. Cows jumped over the moon. Chris Gimenez hit a triple. The Rangers are up four-and-a-half games. Will wonders never cease?
Aceworthy: The Rangers have now won eight straight games in which Cole Hamels has pitched. The rules for Comeback Player of the Year vaguely state that the player had to have “re-emerged on the baseball field.” The award has been given since 1965, but it wasn’t “official” until 2005, […]
Three was the the magic number last night. Three, as in the Rangers hit three home runs. Three, as in they tended to pick up three RBIs at once, with a couple three-run homers. A totally unlikely one from Elvis Andrus, the first ever of his career. An expected one from Adrian […]
Some teams earn the nickname “cardiac kids” for their uncanny ability to come back in heart-stopping, clutch situations. If they are down in the ninth, you just know they are going to come back. Never say die. The 2015 Rangers? When it comes to drama, the outcome of their […]
