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!
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!
I never thought I’d be rooting for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series. I love my Texas Rangers, even though they’ve broken my heart twice now by falling apart in September. When the Rangers lost the wild card spot to the Rays, I thought I might be done with baseball for the year.
However, as I watched the World Series, the Red Sox won me over. It helped that former Ranger Mike Napoli is on the team. It also helped that they were playing the St. Louis Cardinals, a team that showed themselves to have absolutely no class when they beat the Rangers in the 2011 World Series.
The Cardinals managed to win two games but the outcome of the World Series was never in doubt. Everyone watching knew that this was Boston’s year and the Red Sox easily dominated the Cardinals. The team earned this victory by playing outstanding baseball. Even more importantly, the city of Boston earned this victory by showing everyone in America what being strong truly means.
Tonight, when Koji Uehara got that final out, we were all Boston Strong.
