Since there is no baseball to talk about, let’s get ready for 2016 by looking at what went right in 2015. Here is an article from August 31 when the Rangers were starting to click heading into September, right after they swept the Orioles in Arlington to trim what had been […]
The irony of this off-season as opposed to last off-season is there is none of the uncertainty coming into 2016 as there was coming int 2015, yet there seems to be nearly as much angst. Last off-season, there were question marks up and down the lineup and everywhere you looked. The […]
Just like that, the calendar turned from 2015 to 2016. And just like that, the Rangers have gone from West Division champions to defending West Division champions. All of a sudden, that division crown was last year. Objects in the rear view mirror are always much further away than […]

It’s that time of the offseason when there’s no news. And the time of the year when everyone looks back on 2015. So here was one of the better games of 2015, and another reminder of how important Adrian Beltre is to this team: *** DIVISION SERIES, GAME 1: TEXAS […]
Christmas is over. The off-season’s unofficial half-way point is behind us. Now it’s time to start getting serious about the upcoming season.
