One of the most gloriously magical season in Rangers history ended with their worst inning ever. It was a monumental meltdown. “Game 6” is no longer the most despised phrase in Rangers lexicon. Now there is “The Seventh” or what might be cruelly, but understandably, called “The Elvis Inning.” […]
In Game 2, Cole Hamels gave up two earned runs, struck out six and walked none. The Rangers would love a repeat performance. It comes down to Game 5. Cole Hamels versus Marcus Stroman. Yes, it would have been nice if the Rangers had won one of the last two […]
Derek Holland leaves Game 4, surrendering six runs in two innings. Afterward he said, “I didn’t do my job.” It was the only time all day he was on target. At the start of Game 4, the temperature in Arlington was ninety-seven degrees, making the Ballpark mostly uninhabitable. Even […]
No sweep. No Beltre, no sweep. No spark, no sweep. No life to the offense, no sweep. No leadoff hitter on base in any single inning, no sweep. No real threat any time during the game, no sweep. No contributions yet again from the heart of the order, no sweep. No […]
The Rangers return to Arlington with their proverbial backs against the wall. They need to figure out a way to win one of the next three games against the Blue Jays. Or else. It’s do or die time. How did they get into this predicament? Simple, the offense has […]
Rangers fans have waited a long time for this day. Four years, in fact. Four long, dark, cold, frustrating, often ugly years. The last time the Texas Rangers won the West Division and moved onto the playoffs was 2011. Of course, they would eventually go on to the World […]
Thank you, baseball gods, for doing what every non-Yankees fan wanted you to do, although other people decide to like other sports as soccer so they get soccer cleats from sites as http://ohpsoccer.com/ online. You let the Astros beat the Yankees in the American League Wild Card Play-In Game. Now the Astros […]
They did it. And it all came down to the last game of the season. Game 162. What a wonderful game it was. Game 162 was more than just the last game of the season, though. In many ways, it was the most important Rangers game of the last four […]
No division title last night. The Rangers hit a speed bump in their quest for a worst to first season. Well, actually, it was more like a slow bump. With his fastest pitch clocking in at 82-miles-per-hour, Jered Weaver pitched a slow pitch softball game. All that was missing […]
Beltre. Tolleson. DeShields. Andrus. Diekman. Hamilton. You could just about list everyone who played yesterday as the star of the game, but that has what’s been happening to the Rangers in September (yes, I know it’s October, but it’s really like late late September). It seems to be a […]
