  Three starts ago, Derek Holland gave up five earned runs in five innings against Seattle, leaving the game trailing 5-1. The Rangers would rally late but fall short 7-5. Holland earned the loss. Two starts ago, Derek Holland gave up four earned runs in three-and-two-thirds innings and left the […]

  The Rangers beat the Pirates 5-2 at the Ballpark last night. There was a whole lot to like about this game. And a whole lot to forget about. Adrian Beltre hit a two-run homer in the first, becoming just the fifty-fourth player in major league history to rack up 1500 […]

Two of my favorite moments TV sports watching are: One, the end of nearly every Cowboys game when they cut to the owner’s suite and Jerry Jones has that look of cluelessness on his surgically stretched face, trying to figure out how in the world the team he put together […]

  The first month of the season is over, and the Rangers are playing their best baseball. Of course, it helps that they are playing the hapless Angels and not a team full of hap like the White Sox, but that’s how a season goes. The key to the last […]

Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre signed a contract extension that will keep the face of the franchise in Arlington for two more seasons after this year. There couldn’t have been better news yesterday. Then the game started. The Rangers hit their second home run last night at the Ballpark this season. […]

Mitch Moreland’s excuse me double that dropped just fair and just out of everyone’s reach set the stage for a lightning fast, come-from-behind five-run rally in the Rangers 6-3 win over Baltimore.   From May 6, 1992, to July 24, 1993, Mets pitcher Anthony Young lost twenty-seven consecutive decisions. Twenty-seven […]

When you win 8-0 it means pretty much everything was going your way. Especially when you get five RBIs from Adrian Beltre. Of course, Derek Holland throwing six shutout innings is just the icing on the cake. That’s now seven quality starts out of eight games for the Rangers rotation. Oh, […]
