Congratulations to the Rangers!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Congratulations to my Texas Rangers, who just swept the Divisional Play-offs and will be moving on to the ACLS for the first time since 2011!  We’ll be facing either the Astros or the Twins and hopefully, we’ll be moving on to the World Series!

I didn’t post much about the playoffs because I didn’t want to jinx my team by getting too excited or getting ahead of myself.  But tonight, I’m excited!  Way to go, Rangers!  Now, let’s win the ACLS and let’s go to the World Series!  Fans like me have been waiting for this moment for 12 years.  A lot of people thought it would never happen.  But the Rangers are in it!

CONGRATS TO THE RANGERS!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

For the first time since 2016, my Texas Rangers are headed to the MLB play-offs! 

I got a little nervous, a few months ago, when it seemed like the Rangers had lost all of their momentum and when I saw that they had fallen behind both the Astros and the Mariners in the standings, I started to prepare myself for another disappointment.  I started to feel like it would be another post-season of me having to cheer for the Astros by default.  But the Rangers fought back and finally, after seven years, the Rangers have clinched a play-off berth!

CONGRATS TO THE RANGERS!  Now, win that final game against the Mariners, win the AL West, and keep fighting until the World Series!

Rangers Update!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

It’s time for a baseball update!

The last time I wrote about the current season on this site, I was feeling mighty cocky because the Rangers were in first place and all the other teams in the AL West were struggling.  I was excited and, no matter how many times I said that I knew anything could happen, I really was envisioning that World Series victory in my head.

Now, much later into the season, the Rangers have fallen to third.  We are just a few games behind The Mariners and the Astros and anything could happen but it’s still not where I want us to be right now.  I’m not even trying to think about the fact that, if they hit a hot streak, the Angels could even catch up to us.

I’m trying to stay positive, though!  Here’s every Rangers homerun from August!

42 Ranger Home Runs!

Well, would you look at that!

It’s nearly time for the all-star game and my Texas Rangers are leading the AL West!  Right now, the Rangers have a 50-34 record.  That’s still a little bit too close for me (the Astros are only four games behind!) but it still looks like my team finally has a chance to return to the playoffs!  Of course, I don’t want to get cocky.  A lot can change during the second half of the season and it usually does.  Right now, I’m just happy to see my team with a winning record.

To celebrate, here is every home run (all 42 of them!) that the Rangers hit in June!

The Rangers Are 2-0!

Yesterday, the Texas Rangers won their second game of the 2023 season, beating the Phillies by 13 runs!  Congratulations to the Rangers, for getting this season off to a good start.  I know the Rangers aren’t going to win every game this season and I know that there’s a long way to go before the post-season.  But it just feels like this is the season that my team is finally going to get it together.

So, I’m happy.

Congratulations to the Texas Rangers!

I couldn’t let this day end without saying congratulations to my Texas Rangers, who won their first game of the 2023 season today!  After the first three innings, I was feeling pretty down because the Phillies were leading, 5-0.  But then, in the fourth inning, the rangers went from being down by 5 to being up by 4!  We went on to win, 11-7.

That’s why I love baseball.  It’s never over until you get that final out and a good team can always make a comeback.  It’s been a while since I’ve seen that Rangers dominate on offense like that.  I used to feel like the Rangers would give up if they found themselves down by a certain number of runs but I didn’t feel that way watching this game.  Today, the Rangers were determinedto win.  I hope it’s a sign of things to come.

It took them a while but the MLB finally uploaded the game’s highlights.

All Of The Rangers’s 2022 Home Runs!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Good news!  We’ve only got 11 more days to go until the start of the MLB regular season!  Will this be the year that my Rangers finally get it together and return to the post-season for the first time since 2016?  Even if we don’t make the post-season, can we at least have our first winning season in seven years?  I hope so!  But even if we don’t, I’ll still be cheering for my team and whoever represents the AL in the World Series!

(Unless it’s the Blue Jays.)

Here’s a video I found of every single Rangers homerun in 2022!  Watching it and hearing “Gone!” over and over again has got me pumped up for the season!

Opening day is March 30th!  The Rangers will be hosting the Phillies.

Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champions, The Kansas City Chiefs!

The Kansas City Chiefs have won the Super Bowl!  After trailing for much of the game, they made a comeback in the Fourth Quarter and defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by three points!  The final score was 38-35!  (My prediction was not too far off.)

Sometimes, the good guys win!  Congratulations, Kansas City, and thank you from a weary nation.
