The Blue Jays won the season series over the Rangers 4-2. Here are some other stats to chew on until Thursday’s Game 1 against the Blue Jays in Toronto. First-half record:                    Second-half record: Toronto: 45-46           […]

  There is nothing more to say about yesterday’s game that hasn’t already been said. Blame has been duly levied. Responsibility has been deftly deflected. Fingers have been defiantly pointed and re-pointed. Rationale has been irrationally explained. Was it the right move? Was there a way to prevent it? It doesn’t […]

Remember when you were five and you learned that if you don’t have anything good to say about someone, don’t say anything at all? The following is dedicated to the Rangers performance in last night’s game:                               […]
