This is what happens when you go into a season without a closer. The Rangers have been operating on smoke and mirrors all season with Luke Jackson, Chris Martin, and Robert Garcia masquerading as closers. The whole situation has been showing cracks all season, but they’ve dodged a bullet for […]
Did you ever have a car that was so temperamental you had no idea what it was going to do from day to day? Was it going to start on its own? Were you going to have to push start it? Did you accidentally flood it? Or it it going […]
As the trade deadline approaches, Chris Young has stated he will wait to see if this team can turn it around before deciding what he will do. Who does he think he’s fooling? The Rangers, as constructed, will not turn it around. This is who they are. If the first […]
“No, I’m not doing that again. I’ve fallen for this trick before.” “I won’t do it this time, I promise.” “You say that every time, and every time I run up hoping to kick the football and at the last minute you pull it away and I fall flat on […]
The Rangers have been here before. One game under .500. Trying desperately to get to even. Trying even more desperately to get above .500 and be relevant. They lost the first game of the season, so technically they were a game under right away. But that was before the world […]

Let’s go out on a limb here and say the Rangers aren’t winning the A.L. West. Granted, that’s a very short limb, but it’s true. It’s going to be Houston again, barring some major cataclysmic shift in the cosmic universe. Texas cannot make up any ground on Houston. They were […]
Josh Jung just got a huge dose of reality. He’s not a very good hitter right now and it’s time to go back and learn how to be in the minor leagues. The Rangers did it with Evan Carter this year. They did it with Jake Burger. Even Wyatt Langford […]
So, who had the better night last night in Texas’s 10-2 win over Baltimore? Was it Bruce Bochy who had to use only one relief pitcher after four straight nights of a bullpen parade due to four consecutive extra-inning games? Was it Jacob Latz, that relief pitcher, who threw three […]
It’s bad enough this team tortures its fans for nine innings a game every night. But forcing fans to sit through extra innings of this torture is the very definition of cruel and inhumane punishment. For the fourth game in a row, the Rangers went extra innings. They have lost […]
