Since 1995, thirty-eight teams have had a lead at the All-Star break of at least five games. How many of those thirty-eight teams went on to win their division? Three. No, sorry, I read that wrong. Thirty-five. Thirty-five of the thirty-eight teams that have been in the position the […]

  The Rangers now have home field advantage in the World Series. That was the easy part. The hard part will be getting there. Not that I don’t think the Rangers have the team to do it. It’s just that, right now the Rangers don’t have the team to do […]

At the beginning of the season, many of the RR3 faithful made predictions on the upcoming season. I tried to capture as many of those as I could. (If I missed yours, I am sorry). Some of us even predicted the Rangers would win the World Series. Here they are, in […]

  As the Rangers limp back to Arlington having lost six of ten on their three-city road trip, many in soul crushing fashion, it might be wise to look at how some famous men handled adversity for inspiration. Walt Disney once said, “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, […]

  You never thought you’d miss Derek Holland. Until you saw who would replace him. The pitching injuries in 2016 are a cruel reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Because it’s like 2014 all over again. Remember that season we are all so deperately […]
