Texas is a big state so there needs to be some clarification with being a “Texas Sports Fan”. Let’s just say that about 90% of Texas sports fans are included in this miserable Monday. The Houston Texans and University of Texas fans get a free pass on this one. Everybody else… All aboard this sh$tty, miserable Monday morning train after a total disaster sports weekend….
Let us begin with college…. Texas Tech may have had the biggest upset of the year in college football when they beat Oklahoma in Norman 2 weekends ago. They moved up to #19 in the polls and had mediocre Iowa State come to town on Saturday. The result; a 41-7 TOTAL disaster loss. Talk about let down game. That’s a huge loss for Tech. For those of you who are Baylor fans, well things aren’t any better for you. Baylor had a chance to make some noise against undefeated Oklahoma State. Instead, they got absolutely rocked for the second straight weekend. Baylor had high expectations this year, but now stand at 4-3 (1-3 Bi...

The World Series that very few folks outside of Missouri and Texas wanted to see turned out to be incredibly entertaining. Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers on an outstanding Series and season.
The most memorable moment for me was seeing both, the exhilaration and anticipation on the face of MVP David Freese as he approached home plate after...

Deja Vu: Figuring Out Neftali Feliz's Role
October is over and that means it is officially time for the Rangers to move forward with their offseason work toward building their 2012 roster.
One of the first questions they need to figure out is what role Neftali Feliz will fill on the pitching staff in 2012. Last year saw the team vacillating between using Feliz as a starter or a closer all the way through Spring Training...

Unlike the t-shirts, blog posts proclaiming a team to be "World Champions" can't be shipped off to impoverished countries. What actually happens to these poor, unwanted stories? Nobody knows. Some think that they resort to a life of crime, while others believe that they simply waste away, simply longing to be read by someone... anyone.This is one of those posts, and...

Rangers have no timetable with pitcher Wilson
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers are already starting to think about how to get to another World Series.
“We’ve got a very motivated group right now,” general manager Jon Daniels said Monday, three days after the Rangers’ second consecutive season-ending loss in a World Series. “In the clubhouse...

Rangers pick up RHP Lewis' $3.25M option (AP)
The two-time American League champion Texas Rangers have made their first offseason move, picking up the 2012 club option for right-hander Colby Lewis. Lewis will get $3.25 million next season, which will be his third back with the Rangers since returning from Japan. The move was made Monday, three days after the Rangers ended their second consecutive season with a loss in the World Series.
The Painful Act of Moving Forward
One strike.
That's how close the Rangers were to their first World Series title. And they got there twice.
It was hard to think of anything but that one strike as Game Seven rolled to its conclusion on Friday night. Even when the Rangers jumped out to a 2-0 lead, it felt like they were battling more than just the Cardinals on the field. The hangover from Game Six never really...

The Texas Rangers could be on the brink of something special.
Yes, they are still working on their long streak of never winning a World Series championship, but they have been to two straight and just lost a 7-game series to the St. Louis Cardinals.
And the way this team is constructed, there could be more trips to the World Series in their near future.
It's true, the World Series...
2011 Texas Rangers = 1995 Cleveland Indians
The baseball season is now over. The St. Louis Cardinals are the World Champions. The Texas Rangers are not. On paper, the Rangers looked like the better team. Their offense was second to none in the Major Leagues. Up and down the Texas lineup were guys that hit for average and power. They had speed and on-base guys at the top, and run producers all the way down. Their bullpen offered...
