"The Name of the Game" by Marlon Jerrard Byrd
"So far, so good, but we have a long way to go," outfielder Marlon Byrd(notes) told the Rangers’ official Web site after going 3 for 4 with a homer in Sunday’s 7-0 win. "The name of the game is not beating the Angels, it’s making the playoffs. We need to go into Cleveland and not have a letdown. We need to keep playing at a high level of intensity."
Oh Marlon,our fearless leader,what ever shall we do without thy said Marlon.

So Kinsler is headed for a rehab assignment with Frisco
Wonder if he could give us a report on the phenom when he returns on Friday
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
did anyone else catch that our staff has the best Strikeout to walk ratio in the AL
since the break? something like 2.64… thats a really good sign and maybe the pitching is really becoming a good bit better than last year and its not just all the defense and luck.
