The Minor League Journey

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 10:43

Most kids dream of playing baseball in the major leagues.  Playing everyday and getting paid to do it appears to be a glamorous job.  But there is a long road to get there, sometimes its very short lived and most of it not all so glamorous.  What follows is a ...

Rangers QuickHits

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 15:31

For the past 2 months, I have hoped the Rangers would find 5 guys out of the mix that would eat innings and keep this team in the ballgame.  Obviously that has not happened and Texas over the past week has fallen to 11 1/2 games out of the wild ...

Some Baseball Quick Hits……

Saturday, July 26, 2008 13:01

Walk Off Win

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 23:00

The most exciting win I have seen all year.  On a night when Texas sent its bullpen out to face Jered Weaver, the Rangers once again battle throughout the game and win it.  Looking back, I dont know why K-Rod threw a pitch over the plate on 3-1.  Michael Young had just stolen 2nd, taking ...
