Poor Texas Rangers. They just can’t seem to do anything right. They go and build a new $1.9-billion stadium, and it is getting absolutely ridiculed on social media. The comments are as funny as they are biting. At least the shots from inside are amazing. And, that’s where most fans […]

Joey Gallo tested positive for COVID. He’s asymptomatic. He said he’s never felt better in his life. This virus is a menace. So, it looks like this will be a case of quarantining him away from the team for two weeks and seeing where it goes from there. But this […]
