The Rangers Have Won The World Series!


The Texas Rangers just won their first World Series!

I AM SO EXCITED AND SO PROUD OF MY TEAM!  A lot of people didn’t think the Rangers had much of a chance in the post-season, especially after we lost our 1st place standing in AL West to the Astros.  A lot of people thought there was no way we would sweep the Orioles.  They thought the Astros has all the momentum in the ALCS.  And when Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer were injured during the World Series, they thought the team wouldn’t be able to keep up.  But all of the Rangers stepped up and tonight, by a score of 5-0, they beat the Diamondbacks and won their first World Series!

The Diamondbacks should be proud of the effort they made.  They really impressed me, more than the Astros did when they played the Rangers in the ALCS.  When the Diamondbacks make it back to the World Series, I will totally cheer for them as long as they’re not playing the Rangers!

I’m so proud of my team!  They did it!

Go Rangers!

Another Halloween Has Come and Gone


Another Halloween has come and gone and another Horrorthon has come to a close.  We hope you have had a wonderful October and that the Thanksgiving month brings you much to be grateful for!

And remember, just because you didn’t see the Great Pumpkin this year, doesn’t mean that he won’t be there for you next October.  As always, Linus puts it best:

To all of our readers and from all of your friends at the Shattered Lens, thank you.

The Rangers Win Game 4 Of The World Series!


Way to go, Rangers!  Even with both Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer out due to injuries, the Rangers still came together won Game 5 of the World Series!  Even though the final score was 11-7, the Diamondbacks still put up a good fight.  They scared me in both the 8th and 9th innings.  The Diamondbacks are a good team and if they were playing against anyone other than the Rangers, I’d probably cheer for them.  This has been a great World Series, with two underdog teams showing up everyone who doubted them.

The Rangers are just one game away from winning their first World Series!  I’m so excited!  Tomorrow’s game is in Arizona.  At first, there was a part of me that does wish that the Rangers could win the championship in Arlington so the DFW metroplex can prove that it is a baseball town, but now I realize that I’ll be happy wherever they win it.

Go Rangers!
