Exactly

the ’99 Rangers would have beaten the ’96 Rangers. Though I still think the ’96 Rangers were probably the best team in the AL that year. The ’99 Rangers just ran right into the peak of the Yankees dynasty

sudden link

Just moved to Shreveport/Bossier area. How many Ranger games can I expect to see? The first 2 were blacked out but I got the last two. I called direct TV but they said I may be blacked out with them also even If I buy the baseball package
Appreciate any info

From Evan Grant:
Since that oh, so, crisp opening game, the Rangers have made four errors in two games plus two innings. And they’ve allowed 14 runs in the last 19 innings.
