I will let Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports write this one today. Well, most of this one. Below is his re-cap of how the five AL West teams did at the trade deadline. Before I get to that, though, I heard a great quote today from Casey Stern on MLB […]

The Rangers celebrate after coming from behind to beat the Yankees on reserve outfielder Josh Hamilton’s RBI single in the bottom of the ninth.   Don’t look now, but the Rangers are 2-0 since the trade to acquire Cole Hamels was announced. While most experts do not expect the Rangers […]

  In case you were living under a rock the past twelve hours, or just returned from the Pluto probe mission, you know the Rangers finally consummated their six-months-in-the-making trade to acquire Cole Hamels from the Phillies.

The Rangers are the fifth worst team in the American League. Only Seattle, Oakland, Chicago and Boston have worse records. At times, they have played well. At times they played like they don’t even belong in AAA. Mostly it’s been the latter. Now it gets real. Now we see what […]
