Rangers baseball is fun again. Rangers fans can watch a game and not turn it off once the other team gets a lead, knowing the Rangers offense was done for the day after the fifth inning. Rangers fans can watch a game and not turn it off after the third […]
Adolis Garcia is an RBI machine. In the past few seasons, he had a knack for hitting a dramatic home run. A game-tying or game-winning blast. But this year, he has stepped up his game. He is driving in runs at a crazy pace. With his fourth inning two-run homer […]
