Jimmy Trania of Sports Illustrated just tweeted out this video that depicts a pair of people who are among the worst kind of fans at a baseball game: adults who go crazy over balls into the stands, and deprive children of a fun moment.
Really? I mean, really? The young child is bawling his eyes out while his parents (or siblings, whatever) try to console him, and you're sitting there laughing because you got the ball and he didn't? The subsequent replay showing the grown adult laughing about getting the ball that was clearly intended for the child is just pathetic.
If the fans involved were frat boy/valley girl types, maybe I could understand the behavior a little bit. But the man involved is clearly up there in years, and really should know better. He was probably showing off to his younger female companion trying to gain some man-cred or something.
Have no fear though, fans. Traina later tweeted that another fan (not those fans...another one) ended up giving the child...

Feliz started Saturday in Game 2 of a doubleheader in Detroit and will be available in the bullpen for the next few games, including Wednesday's series finale against New York.

Moreland comes alive for the first time
ARLINGTON, Texas One sure way to keep from hitting the ball right at people is to hit it over the fence. That's the tactic the Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland took Wednesday night to break out of a slump.
Moreland sent a blast 410 feet over the right field wall in the sixth inning of a 7-3 win over the Yankees. The homer was his second hit of the night to break out of...

So I had the very fine pleasure of watching Yu Darvish turn a very good Yankee lineup, in a very good hitters' park, into absolute meek hamburger last night, as the Rangers beat the Yankees 2-0.Darvish went 8.1 innings, giving way only to the one double play pitch of Joe Nathan to finish things off, and never looked like he was doing anything difficult. And sure, it's April...

When it comes to people I’m an optimist in that I believe that in their hearts most folks are good and decent people. Then something like this comes along and I realize that there are those among us that have zero class or decency and I go right back to questioning humanity.
A little overdramatic? Probably, but when you watch this video and see why this little guy is crying...

I was really looking forward to Scott Feldman’s spot start tonight. The guy has a lot of haters, but I am not among them. I may be one of the only people who owns a Feldman shirsey. Sure, he’s not an ace, but he’s done some mighty fine pitching for the Rangers over the years (as well as some bad pitching … but oh well). I am a Feldman fan. And I probably always...

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish arrived in Texas a star. Tuesday night against the New York Yankees, he looked like one. Darvish, the Rangers' high-priced Japanese import, delivered the best outing of his young career, befuddling the Yankees in Texas' 2-0 victory before a sellout crowd of 47,085 at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. The Yankees couldn't do much against...
