42-60 - The Curse of Carlos: Rangers suffer unimaginable collapse in 13-10 loss

The Rangers have historically always been a sad sack franchise but they’ve never experienced a loss quite like tonight’s debacle

The Rangers had never, even over the many, many years of this lackluster franchise’s entire history ever held a lead of eight runs or more into the seventh inning or later only to eventually lose. Until tonight.

Burn it down.

Salt the earth.

Player of the Game: Elvis hit a grand slam! (And then the Rangers ruined it because that’s what they do when nice things happen.)

Up Next: The third game of this four game set will feature Martin Perez against...wait, Edwin Jackson is still alive? First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 pm CT so I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
