A Lonestar in California

We need to hire Chuck Norris to kick the ass of any Ranger fan caught booing one of our young pitchers at the RBiA.

Hitler got them fired up

Only explanation

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

It's so nice to have ESPN declare a team "the worst team in the league"

and know they’re not referring to the Rangers

I remember sweeps

The Rangers have gotten swept enough to keep them top of mind.

OT - Rick Reilly is a waste of oxygen

Since Adam linked to his last article to show how horrible Rick Reilly has gotten, I figured I would throw this one up also.

ESPN

Believe it or not, he’s actually gotten worse. Career minor leaguers suing baseball for turning a blind eye to steroids? What a dumbass idea. At the end, I’m pretty sure the Stanford Law Professor is making fun of him but it just goes over his head.

They are the second-lowest scoring team in the AL

Only 4.07 RPG.

Irregardless, those wins are still a huge boost for the team and the pitching staff going into a 4 game set with the Angels.

I really enjoyed

Frankie going totally terrorist in the 9th. Nothing finer than 3 outs on 9 pitches.

Agreed.

I was really excited to see Frankie just shut it down like that. CJ who?

by Rodney on Aug 27, 2008 10:50 PM CDT up 0 recs

True...

but let’s not forget it was against the bottom of the Royals lineup. He looked good, but there won’t be many easier hitters to face than that. Great way to break him into the closers role.

I agree that it looks pretty suspicious.

by jcAustin on Aug 28, 2008 9:08 AM CDT 0 recs

the rangers won due to the

swing at it all royals any team could beat them when they are this wild at bat, now comes the real test, a real team that can hit and pitch very well, the odds of the rangers sweeping the Angels is about a million to one, nice dream but not reality i’m afraid.
