The American League wins 6-3. The Rangers now have home field advantage in the World Series. Too bad they have the worst home record in all of baseball. We cannot catch a break.

As bad as the Rangers are this year offensively, surprisingly there are worse teams. Here is where Texas ranks in offensive categories at the break: Team batting: .247, 11th in the American League Home runs: 94, 4th in the American League Runs scored: 370, 10th in the American League Batting […]

The first half is over. It’s only appropriate to sum up a team that called it quits this month by quoting the Grateful Dead, a band that called it quits this month, “What a long strange trip it’s been.” But what kind of trip has it been? With a horrible […]

Okay, so Shawn Tolleson is human after all. He has saved 12 out of 13. That is a save percentage of .923. Unfortunately, his blown save came at a bad time, which all blown saves do. So, let’s see if he can do what other elite closers can do. And that […]

Home Runs: Shin-Soo Choo, 6. RBIs: Prince Fielder, 23. AVG: Prince Fielder, .344 (4th […]

    He came into the game batting .159, one of the last holdovers under the Mendoza line. But, really, with Robinson Chirinos and Carlos Corporon as your two catchers, it’s a crapshoot of who you put behind the plate. Colby Lewis likes pitching to Chirinos, so he got the […]

    He had it all working. Except for the first pitch he throw to Luis Valbuena which was scorched over the right centerfield wall in about a second and a half, Wandy Rodriguez had what could be the best start of any Ranger this season. If it wasn’t the […]
