Pigs flew. Cows jumped over the moon. Chris Gimenez hit a triple. The Rangers are up four-and-a-half games. Will wonders never cease?

Aceworthy: The Rangers have now won eight straight games in which Cole Hamels has pitched.   The rules for Comeback Player of the Year vaguely state that the player had to have “re-emerged on the baseball field.” The award has been given since 1965, but it wasn’t “official” until 2005, […]

THE SIX TYPES OF BROOMS: Besom Broom: A roundel bundle of twigs that are bound in wooden sticks.   Flat Broom: Evenly-trimmed bristles sometimes cut at an angle to easily sweep corners.   Wet/Dry Broom: Bristles are spread out apart from each other to easily sweep large dirt and to scrub […]

  The Rangers acquired Cole Hamels for one reason: Games like this. Coming off a series loss in Toronto where the starting pitching was bush league, generous to a fault and unable to hold any kind of lead, the Rangers needed Hamels to be good. He was very good. Eight […]

The Rangers record since they acquired Cole Hames: 7-2. The Rangers record in game Cole Hamels has pitched: 0-2. Conclusion: Baseball makes no sense.

At least for one night, Matt Harrison reminded Rangers fans how he won 18 games in 2012.   Shin-Soo Choo hit for the cycle. Delino DeShields was a home run from it. Elvis Andrus had two hits. Most days, that would be the most newsworthy news worthy of talking about. […]

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 […]
