ramon vazquez Stories - Lone Star Ball
Saturday morning things
That kind of sucked. Particularly after waiting 5 days for Rangers baseball to resume. Texas is now 8.5 games out of first place. That's farther out of first than the Braves were on July 19, 1993, farther out of first than the M's were on July 19, 1995, and farther out of first than either the...

That was one of those games where, after the top of the 2nd inning, you knew it was going to take something of a miracle for the Rangers to win. Just an absolutely dominating performance from Scott Kazmir. Ron Washington was impressed by Kazmir, although Ramon Vazquez says he deserves some blame...

Sunday morning stuff
A 4 game winning streak. And as Evan Grant points out, the Rangers have had 11 series so far this season, and have won 6 of them. So why don't they have a winning record? 4 of the 5 series they've lost, they've been swept... Ramon Vazquez gets some love from Grant in his game story, with the...
