Last season the Rangers and Cubs each won their respective divisions. Each team had the best record in their respective leagues. The Cubs, of course, went on to win the World Series. The Rangers, as we are all painfully aware of, dropped their meat in the dirt early, being […]
I have a house. It’s built over a toxic waste dump. Nobody knows that, though. I should probably sell it before anyone finds out. If I sell it, I can make a huge profit and walk away before it is too late. Then I can use that money to buy a better house. […]
Robinson Cano hit a home run in the top of the tenth inning to win the Ranger-less All-Star Game for the American League. That pulled them even with the National League at 44-44. It only took them 88 years to get to .500. So, please, be patient with the Rangers […]
The All-Star Game is tonight in Miami. There won’t be a Ranger. Yu Darvish was chosen to make the squad, due to each team having to have one representative, but the league asked him not to actually pitch in the game because whenever Darvish pitches, neither team scores, and for […]
Hard to believe that the All-Star break is here already. It seemed like just yesterday that Sam Dyson was blowing two games against Cleveland to open the season and set the tone for the Rangers 2017. A win yesterday would have been a sweep of the Angels, would have […]
For the fourth time this season, the Rangers have won at least three games in a row. They won four in a row, sweeping the Royals, to pull within a game of .500 in late April. Ten in a row to go from seven under to three over in […]
I don’t have enough superlatives for last night’s game. Literally. After seeing how the Rangers have been playing this year, I cut corners and didn’t order my normal full batch. I used what little ones I had left on Wednesday’s game. Who thought I would be needing more so […]
The mad dash to the trade deadline is on. With a brief intermission on Monday for the All-Star break. The Rangers have three games against the second-place Angels. Which is good. Because in games against the three teams currently in first place the Rangers are 5-18. In games against […]
It was a really good night for the Rangers. Their trade chips increased in value. Jurickson Profar, playing for Elvis who’s on paternity leave, showed the ability to hit left-handed pitching, battling for a twelve-pitch ground out in his first at-bat, laying down a perfect sac bunt in his […]
This team is basically a three-legged stool with two of the legs broken at any given time. Their rotation has some quality arms but not enough and not they cannot be consistently relied upon. Their offense is potent but sputters because it has far too many strikeouts holes to make it reliable. The […]
