Is that the first time

Ham at Clean-up

Anyone looked to see how he has fared at 4th versus 3rd? Sure the sample size is quite small but seems he has struggled at clean up. Just curious.

its beyond small

6 at bats. no hits.

Scooter propels the Rangers to .500!!!

I believe that would be Wash’s second day at .500.

One day at .500 in April, one day above, another day at, then the losing began.

MLB.com says this would be the Ranger's first sweep

of this year (assuming they win). Is that right? I could have sworn we had swept…somebody.

First three-game sweep

We swept two from Toronto before losing four at Boston and three at Detroit.

Scotty Feldman

Oh how my tune has changed about you. At one point during spring training and the beginning of the season I actually dedicated a solid 15 to 20 mins a day of actually finding you and performing my own style of Tommy John surgery.

Now you are one start away from making it out of the Salty doghouse.

He's chomping at the bit

I’m sure.

jobs/school

most people have one of these to attend, not a shame just bad planning.They should wait until the area high schools are out for the summer and then plan some sort of giveaway to get these kids to the ballpark.
