Whie Vicente Padilla has been a pretty decent pitcher this year, I don't think anyone expected him to beat John Lackey. This is a guy that normally beats us (at least it feels that way). So I think it was rather a big surprise when the Rangers unloaded on Lackey, especially after the way we wer......

OK, last night we beat John Lackey. Tonight we're up against Ervin Santana, another pitcher who we never seem to be able to beat. Couldn't pull that off twice, could we? Yes we could. In another surprising turn of events, the Rangers beat the Angels 8-4 behind Scott "We're reducing your work......

After the first two games in this series, Rangers fans (at least the ones still watching) got excited, we beat the two best pitchers the Angels had. Could we three peat that? No, the local team went out there and reminded you that they're the Texas Rangers and not the Anaheim Angels. Joe Sa......

This game was pretty much evenly matched for quite awhile. Was 1-1 after 2, 3-3 after two, and then a pile of zeroes. The A's put up a run in the seventh, and then we retook the lead, retook second place as well. Dustin Nippert took the hill today, and was "meh". I've written how surprised I ......

In the final game of the season against Oakland, we got out the whipping sticks and trashed 'em, 14-4. The Texas scoring got started with a big three run home run for Hank Blalock, who has homers now in like three or four games in a row. We pushed across two more runs in the fourth with sever......

When you're doing recaps for games a week after they happen, and you see the same score two days in a row, it always makes you think, "Now wait, that can't be right". Not near impossible, but the same score two days in a row to the same team usually doesn't happen. That's what happened here. ......

The Rangers lost a good performance by Kevin Millwood in this one. Kevin went seven innings, allowed just two earned runs (one unearned). Few too many hits (eight), and just one walk. Six strikeouts. Pretty good performance. He's actually been pretty decent since his last stint on the DL. ......

Whenever I see a score like this, I am reminded of a game I've spoken of a few times over the years on this site. The Phillies / Cubs game from the late 70's where the Phils beat the Cubs 23-22. You'd think 13 runs would be enough to win the game. Not this time. First off, I had tickets to th......

Vicente Padilla got into the seventh, but really didn't pitch that well. His official line was 6 innings pitched, seven hits, five earned runs, and three walks. Not terribly great. Also gave up a two run home run to Garret Anderson. On top of that, he did throw two wild pitches. Offensivel......

Caught the commentary on the Josh Hamilton book the other night watching the game, and looked into it. It's coming out on October 16th, and is apparently more of Josh's personal life story. The book is available for pre-order from Amazon.com. Click on the book cover here to get to Amazon.com'......

I don't have time to write a full commentary, but even if I did, I wouldn't have wanted to....

No time to write about this still, but a huge win in the bottom of the ninth sounds great. Wish I would have seen it. :(...
