Today is not only America’s 250th birthday! It’s also the day that the Texas Rangers set a world record by pouring the world’s largest glass of beer at Globe Life Field in Arlington! Behold 600 gallons of Budweiser in one very big glass!
They started pouring at noon and finished at 1:45 in the afternoon! The previous record was 545 gallons and it was held by the UK. By pouring 600 gallons, the Rangers brought the record home to America!
Congratulations, Rangers!
Guess who beat the Guardians last night… again!?
Go Rangers!
I know that I keep saying that I can’t allow myself to get excited because I might jinx the team but I’m going to take the risk. If they start losing, I’ll go back to not getting excited. I’ll fight the jinx. I think I can beat it.
For now, the Rangers are 44-42. We’re only one game up on the Mariners so we can’t afford to get cocky. But I’m finally feeling good about this season! The only question right now is whether or not we’re going to sweep this series against the Guardians. Go Rangers! I’m cheering for you!
Last night, the Rangers beat the Guardians 6-3 and, dare I say it, they’re finally starting to look like a playoff team to me!
Again, I’m trying not to jinx them by getting too excited. Whenever I get too excited or too confident, it seems like they always end hitting a bad streak. I am trying to trick the Baseball Gods into thinking that I’m “Comfortably Blasé,” as my sister puts it. But it’s not easy to stay calm when your team has a good night!
I love this. I my Rangers. I love America. And I love the great American pastime.
GO RANGERS!
(By the way, in the video below, ignore the annoucners when they try to dismiss the American League. Everyone knows that baseball media is biased in favor of the National League.)
I’ve been trying not to write too much about the Rangers because I’m worried that I might jinx them. It seems like every time that I get excited and start posting about them, they hit a rough streak. So, I have been keeping quiet and not getting ahead of myself. The Rangers have broken my heart a few times this season but they’ve made me cheer too.
I’m cheering right now.
Finally, we’re in first. Our record isn’t great. 42-42. .500. But the last few games have got me excited. We just swept the Blue Jays. That’s a big deal for a Rangers fan. The Rangers and the Blue Jays don’t exactly have the best histroy.
Even though Jose Bautista is no longer playing and Rougned Odor is no longer a Ranger, it’s impossible for me not to think of this wonderful moment whenever the Rangers play the Blue Jays.
The All-Star Game will take place on July 14th. It’s always pointless to speculate too much about the playoffs until after the All-Star Game. The Rangers are starting a series against the Guardians later today and who knows how that will go. (The Guardians helped the Rangers move into first place by defeating the Mariners. Thank you, Cleveland!) But right now, I’m feeling good.
I love baseball.
Go Rangers!
Last night, I was tying to not scream in frustration. Tonight, I’m cheering!
After last night’s humiliating loss, I had to share our victory today. It wasn’t necessarily a pretty victory. The Astros never should have gotten within three runs of tying up the game. But it’s a victory all the same. It’s a win and I’m happy!
Go Rangers go!
I haven’t really sad much about the Rangers this season because they’ve really been struggling and I haven’t had much happy news to report. Right now, everyone is down on the team’s prospects, even though we haven’t even played the All-Star Game yet. There’s a lot of baseball left to play and you never know when a team might turn their fortunes around. That’s one of the things that I love about this game. A team can always make a comeback and I’ve seen the Rangers make plenty.
Still, when I see something like this:
Oh, Rangers! Why must you break my heart?
I still have faith in my team. I always have faith in them. That’s why they’re my team, no matter how many times they left me screaming into a pillow and hoping no one gets the wrong idea. Rangers, I love you! Even when you lose to the Astros!
Please don’t do it again.
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.
Go Rangers!
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!
It’s almost time!
The regular baseball season is almost here!
Spring Training is nearly over. Opening Day is March 26th. That’s just two more days! Some people have the Super Bowl. Some people have the Oscars. I’ve got baseball and, even more importantly, I’ve got the Rangers Sometimes, the Rangers break my heart. Not every season has been great. But I can still remember how happy I was when they won their first World Series in 2023. No one gave them much of a chance but the Rangers proved all the doubters wrong. I hope they’ll do it again this year.
Whichever team you cheer for, I hope they bring you a lot of happiness over the upcoming months.
Go Rangers!
Play ball!
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!
