Up until the bottom of the 8th inning last night, the Rangers game was almost perfect. Dustin Nippert had given the team five shutout innings, Neftali Feliz looked otherwordly in his major league debut and the Rangers were up 2-0. The only thing that could have made things better would have been a better offensive [...]

G103: Rangers take series with 4-2 win on Sunday
It figures. The Rangers play four against Seattle. They win three of the four. Guess which one I attended in person? Of course, the loss.
Sunday was a bounceback day on many accounts. Scott Feldman bounced back from his disastrous start a week ago and pitched well. Seven innings, five hits, two runs, 4K, 2BB, and 101 pitches. Got the win. Barely (more on that later)...
Texas offers up to 75 percent discount on tickets
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- The Texas Rangers, who have cut several staff members from their front office and may be sold, are offering a ticket discount for weekday games in August and September as they try to capture their first AL West title in 10 years.
All's quiet on the western front
The Rangers and A's are underway in Oakland, though you'd never know it by the crowd. Very quiet, like they're at an art gallery instead of a ballpark.
No score in bottom of second. Rangers' Dustin Nippert worked out of a little jam in the bottom of the first.
Omar Vizquel, who had been playing in place of Kinsler, gets a night off and so we've got Joaquin Arias...

Rough start for Padilla, Rangers, who trail, 2-1
Another tough start for the Rangers in Oakland.
Vicente Padilla had a rough first inning, giving up two runs, two hits, including a two-run homer to Scott Hairston, and hitting a batter. Rangers got a run back in the top of the second as Josh Hamilton doubled and scored on a single to left by Taylor Teagarden, who's Saltalamacchia a night off behind the plate.
Feliz delights Texas Rangers with his off-speed pitches
OAKLAND, Calif. — The remarkable major league debut of Neftali Feliz was still resonating Tuesday afternoon at McAfee Coliseum, but the right-hander’s stuff isn’t the only thing that left a favorable impression.
Feliz means "Happy" in Texas
No Texas Ranger has ever won an American League Cy Young Award. Oh, Fergie Jenkins finished a distant second to Catfish Hunter back in 1974, but more usually, even when a guy like Little Ricky Helling won 20 games in 1998, he didn't receive a single vote -- Jay fans may remember that as a Roger Clemens unanimous Cy year.Well, I am here to tell you that all that is about to change...
Texas Rangers don’t add to their pitching staff
OAKLAND, Calif. — The big news Monday was that the Texas Rangers did not make a roster move to help keep their pitching staff together as they trudge through the most serious rash of injuries this season.
Texas Rangers cut ticket prices for Monday-Thursday games
Some of the smallest crowds for any major league team come in late August and September, after the new school year starts and children are doing homework instead of watching baseball.
Ludwick honored

season Tuesday when the National League announced him as its July Player of the
Month.

The Cowlishaw game treks to the Bay area
Hayden's mom is the big winner for Sunday with a remarkable prediction of IP: 7, H: 5, R: 2, ER: 2, BB: 2, K: 3, Pitches: 103. Just one K and two pitches off, wow! luda had the seven innings and was remarkably close overall himself. No one had Francisco coming in first. dr_waller, Clay, Asher, Hayden's mom, Travis in Waco, luda and Daniel Ellen all had the pen blanking Seattle...
Wow, what a game that was last night
Some thoughts
• Fantastic debut by Neftali Feliz, two perfect innings with four strikeouts and not one piece of solid contact. His first outing was a sign that he could in fact make an impact in this pen down the stretch, if the team can just hang in there.
• Another poor offensive game might have obscured it, but Josh Hamilton reached three times versus a tough lefty. Good...
