Attendance is down in baseball ten percent. Attendance is down in Arlington fifteen percent. That is according to the Dallas Morning News. But you don’t have to read the local paper to know that. All you have to have is a working pair of eyes, or even one working […]
A home run to tie it. A home run to win it. His first multi-home run game. His first walk-off home run. Nomar Mazara took that next step on the road to greatness. And it was a huge step. May is nine days old and already Mazara has seven […]
The Rangers picked up eleven hits last night. Adrian Beltre returned from two weeks away and picked up right where he left off, with three hits and two RBIs. Delino DeShields went 2-for-5, scoring two runs, and was once again the catalyst for the Rangers offense, leading off the […]
Nobody ever said they had to be pretty. But that one last night was a thing of beauty. Ugly beauty. The ugly: Another Matt Moore crash and burn job. He comes into the game with an ERA of 7.67 and leaves the game with it a few clicks south […]
