A funny thing happened during yesterday’s Labor Day game between the Rangers and the Mariners. A spring training game broke out. Suddenly it was as if we were back in Surprise, Arizona, once again. Your starter goes two innings. Then you bring in a steady parade of pitchers who […]
News flash: Yu Darvish is human. Especially against Houston. The last time Darvish allowed five earned runs was also a game against Houston more than two years ago. On August 9, 2014. After that, though, he didn’t allow an earned run for another twenty-one months. Because that was his […]
There’s no place like home, indeed. The Rangers have the best home record in the American League and trail only the Chicago Cubs for best record in baseball. When you need services defending your home or business by providing exceptional termite pest control, bed bug inspections and mosquito. Visit […]
For a brief moment, the Houston Astros must have thought they actually had a chance. They scored two quick runs in top of the first to take a 2-0 lead. Astros faithful immediately began praying for rain. When the Rangers didn’t score in the bottom of the first, the mayor […]

Even though the Rangers endured four shutouts in the span of eleven games, the offense was never a worry. There are simply far too many weapons and far too much talent to sustain any long slumps. They proved that in the third-inning last night, and quickly. A single, a triple, […]
After stopping their free fall by winning three of four from a very good Cleveland Indians team, the Rangers are looking at the stretch run with a huge lead of 8.5 games over Houston and Seattle, with just thirty-one games left to play. It would take a monumental collapse […]
Weird series. Three games so far. Three blowouts. Two by Texas. One by Cleveland. 9-0 Texas. 12-1 Cleveland. 7-0 Texas. The Rangers have spent two months bending. But not breaking. They have the chance to win three out of four against Cleveland, and really make a statement about which […]
Somebody told Martin Perez that yesterday’s game was a road game. Because Road Martin showed up. And when Road Martin shows up, the Rangers end up as road kill. Martin Perez is the most frustrating Rangers pitcher on the staff. He has all the tools to be an ace. […]
