One More Day To Go!


Only more day to go until opening day!

I’m so excited that I’m going to share one of my favorite moments as a Rangers fan, the day that Rougned Odor punched out Jose Bautista.  This happened nearly 10 years ago and I still remember it like yesterday.  Watch Bautista’s glasses fly!  It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

In Dallas, that moment was preserved in a mural.  Some people didn’t like this mural but baseball fans understood.

Here’s hoping for more classic baseball moments this season!

Go Rangers!

 

Song of the Day: Ode To The Texas Rangers by Mark Singletary Band


I was searching for something on YouTube when I came across this song.  From 1975 to 1980, this song was played before every Rangers home game and also after every Rangers victory!  I listened to it and I loved it.  I wish they still played it.

As for my Rangers this season, they’ve currently got a 36-36 record and they’re in third place in the AL West.  Luckily, there’s still a lot of baseball to be played and the Astros are only leading by five games.  That’s one thing I love about baseball.  You’re never really out of contention, unless you’re the White Sox.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Their Third Series Of The Season!


I don’t want to jinx anything and the season is not even a month old but right now, my rangers are 7-2 and I’m feeling pretty good.  Yesterday, they beat the Rays 5-2 and today, they beat them 6-4.  I just hope the Rangers can keep winning like this for the entire season because there is a long way to go!

Here are the highlights of yesterday’s game against the Rays!

The Rangers Are 5-2!


The Rangers finally got a day off from playing today.  Personally, I think they more than earned it.  Yesterday, they won their second series of the regular season, defeating the Reds with a score of 1-0.  Two weeks into the regular season and my team is 5-2 and at the top of AL West.  That’s what I love to see!

Tomorrow, they play the Rays.  For now, here’s the highlights of yesterday’s game!

The Rangers Only Need One Run To Win!


1-0 may not be the biggest victory in the history of baseball but I’ll take it!  Coming after a night when the Reds scored 14 runs against the Rangers, I’m happy with our one to zero victory.  Last night, the Reds put on a hitting clinic.  Tonight, the Rangers and Nathan Eovaldi put on a pitching clinic.  Eovaldi pitched a complete game shutout giving up just four hits and striking out eight.  He did not walk a single batter.

Our one run, the winning run of the game, was scored by Wyatt Langford.

The Rangers are now 4-2 and practically tied with the Angels for the lead in the American League West.

Go Rangers!

Sometimes, It’s Good To Miss A Game


I was feeling bad about missing tonight’s game between the Rangers and the Reds but then I looked at the score — 14-3, Reds — and I realized maybe it was for the best!  Just looking at the numbers, it looks like the Reds put on a hitting clinic and the Rangers had no answer for it.

That’s baseball.  You’re going to lose a few.  Let’s hope this is just a fluke and not a sign of things to come.

Congratulations, Cincinnati!

Go Rangers!

 

The Rangers Win Their First Series Of The Regular Season!


My Rangers got a wonderful win this afternoon, defeating the Red Sox by a score of 3-2 and winning their first series of the regular season!  Today’s game really reminded me why I love baseball so much.  It’s also reminded me how much fun it is to watch your team win.

From Jacob deGrom’s six strikeouts to the home runs hit by Adolis Garcia and Wyatt Langford, here are the highlights of a great game!
