Okay, there are a ton of questions related to this GIF, but we’ll try to break it down. We’re not sure if it passes the sniff test.

The top half of the bat wound up back in the Rangers’ dugout, the bat was passed to Yu Darvish, and for some reason, he...

Game 2012.75: Tigers at Rangers
36-38, 3rd place, 3 games behind CWS
Dombrowski said today that “he did not think that 2B is going to be the reason why we win or lose the division.” Was this an endorsement of Santiago? Santiago’s hitting .286 in June and as long as Ramon gets the majority of the ABs, then I agree with DD. Despite that, Tigers 2B are hitting .202 this season, which is why Lowrie remains a...

Phillies player voted as 2011 Astros MVP
As a Houstonian, I enjoy the occasional mockery of how horrible and nonexistent the Houston Astros franchise has become since the great Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio took their cleats home for good. In 2011, the team reach brand new all-time lows with the worst record, and everything, in all of the MLB this season. An all-time low season just got worst this morning when the...

Anyone Else Not Excited for the World Series?
Usually when you’re not excited to see the World Series it’s because a team you’ve been rooting for isn’t in it. I’m a Yankees fan so I’ll admit that I pretty much lost interest after the bombers lost to the Tigers in the ALDS.
But seriously, outside of Texas and St. Louis is there going to be anyone who really cares about watching this thing? OK, I’ll give...

ESPN makes the Cardinals W.S. Appearance more Sexy (Pic)
Someone sent this to my E-mail early this morning. Hopefully this means ESPN is returning to their more jock-oriented mentality as a business, rather than their new school work-oriented mentaliy as a business. At least ESPN fans know that an ESPN headline writer still remembers the good times with Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann, when "those guys had all the fun."...
Rangers' quality goes beyond starting pitching
Texas' second World Series ticket in as many seasons was punched by a 15-5 victory over the Tigers, a Game 6 victory in an ALCS fueled by a dominant bullpen, a one-man wrecking crew in series MVP Nelson Cruz and some timely hits sprinkled along the way.
