Oh, I’m in a good mood tonight! Despite some early struggles that gave me heartburn, the Rangers pulled off a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox! And Adolis Garcia got his first home run of the regular season!
Here’s hoping for our first 2025 series win tomorrow!
Go Rangers!

Someone is playing an old familiar tune.
Tonight, the Texas Rangers defeated the Boston Red Sox, 4-11 It was the team’s first victory of the regular season and it also featured the first two Rangers home runs of the regular season! Both of those home runs were hit by Jonah Heim!
The Rangers are now 1-1.
Go Rangers!

It’s Opening Day! The Rangers played their first game of the regular season today, facing off against the Red Sox in Arlington. I watched the game and I was really hoping that we might start the season with a win. It didn’t happen. The Rangers went into the Ninth Inning 2-2 and they ended things trailing by three runs. Congratulations to the Red Sox on their 5-2 victory and especially to Wilyer Abreu on his two home runs. (That second home run brought in three runs in the 9th and won the game for Boston.)
I love baseball but it’s a lot more fun when your team wins! Luckily, it’s only the first game and there’s 161 left to go. There’s not a baseball team in existence that has ever had an undefeated season and that will never change. If a team ever does win 162 games in a row, they should just cancel baseball all together.
I love my team. My heart hurts that they lost but I know it’s going to sing when they get their first win of the 2025 season!
Go Rangers!
