Given Andruw Jones has filed for free agency, and the Rangers have said he's not coming back, I can officially categorize this news story as "Former Rangers News". Anyway, I decided to check into his money situation, given he had a quite strange salary situation in 2009...

The first batch of items for the off season have happened.
Marlon Byrd: On the first day of free-agent eligibility, Marlon Byrd filed. No surprise there, he probably deserves a decent paycheck. As we all know, there's been a lot of noise about him wanting to stay, but whether...

Well, Rudy Jaramillo's successor has been named, and it's not Rusty Greer. It's Clint Hurdle. I don't know a lot about Clint Hurdle, but if you read the article on the Rangers site about him, there's this quote..
the importance of a team-first mentality

The Rest of the World Series

Well, I never wrote specific commentaries for the rest of the games of the World Series for two reasons. Well, first, I had family in town to visit for my son's Baptism, which was this past Saturday. With them in town, I didn't have much time to write, and then on the last...
WS G2: Yankees bounce back against Phillies, win 3-1

Normally, I don't write about games the Yankees win, but this is the World Series, I kind of have to. :)
Game two of the World Series goes to the Yankees. To be honest, I figured the teams would leave the Bronx tied. Obviously, I would have preferred my Phillies take 2-0, but...
WS G1: Lee & Utley take down Yankees, 6-1

OK, my Phillies are back in the World Series. Against the Yankees. Back when the playoffs started, I kind of thought it would be these two. Even went so far as to predict the Yankees would take it in six, because I didn't think the Phillies would have enough after Cliff Lee to...

Saw on ESPN tonight that the Cubs are going to announce in the morning that they've hired Rudy Jaramillo to be their hitting coach.
Story here. Bet you a lot is made about how Rudy is the way out of the Milton Bradley situation.
And then there was none....

The picture above is what a lot of people consider the best coaching staff the Rangers have had, because it's (for the most part) the one that led us to the playoffs in the 90's. The last direct link to that era is now gone. As you have to have known already before you read...

I meant to do this the day the playoffs started, but I forgot. We're three days in, but I'm doing them anyway. Yeah, I'm doing them based on the fact that all the series have two games played now. Sue me. :)

That's it. The 11th season I've had this site up for has ended. It ended like so many others have ended. With a loss. I have to confess though. It was a game of lasts.
Last game for Hank Blalock as a Ranger (is there anyone who REALLY believes he's coming back? Bueller...
G161: Rangers drop close game, 2-1 to Seattle
October 04, 2009 by
Ranger Fans

First off, I actually watched this game. Figured with just a couple left, I should watch at least one. The Rangers didn't actually pitch too bad here. The offense couldn't come through - which was the big story of 2009. We could pitch, but didn't always hit.
Tommy Hunter...
G159: Millwood pitches well in 11-3 win

I don't ever want John Lackey as a Ranger. Because we seem to tee off on him a lot, he's a guy who is very good for everyone, but not with us. The Angels, having clinched, only had him in for two innings, but we had four hits and two runs on that, both came on Chris Davis&...

Didn't see any of this game, as I had TiVo problems. I actually wanted to, as there's only three left including this one. Saturday night I'm having some friends over for the Stars season opener, and then Sunday is football.
We clinched second place with this game, and...
G158: Rangers shut out AGAIN, 5-0

Ranger Fans

Well, the late September version of the Texas Rangers showed up again. They led off the game with a Julio Borbon single. That was it. There was nothing else to our offense, except for a few walks. The Angels pitching staff (five of 'em) one hit the Rangers.
Figures.
G157: Rangers lost to Angels, 5-2

The Rangers lost to the Anaheim Angels (yeah, screw you Arte Moreno, that's a stupid name you thought up, the one you inherited was way better) on Tuesday, 5-2. They were formally eliminated from all possible playoff scenarios with that loss.
That is all.
G154: 11 run 5th leads to 15-3 thrashing of Rays

I was planning on skipping this game. I had some other family stuff going on. However, I tuned in at the bottom of the fifth, and had a minute or two, so I peeked in. Picked the right time, that's for sure.
The Rangers were losing 3-1 at the time I peeked in, and I have to say...
G155: Rangers blow home finale, 7-6

The final home game of the Rangers 2009 season ended pretty poorly.
We were actually winning 5-0 going into the 8th inning. Brandon McCarthy was pitching quite well, actually. 7.2 IP, 6 hits, only two runs, neither of which were earned. Then the bullpen stunk up the joint. In fact...
G156: It's over. Rangers don't even show up, lose 11-0

On a day where the Rangers could formally be eliminated from the AL West chase, as well as the Wild Card chase, they deliver a big stinking pile of.. you get the point.
That was bad. The only thing that has mathematically allowed the Rangers to have a feeble chance at still making...
G153: Rangers top Tampa on Friday, 8-3

What are the highlights here?
Gabe Kapler hit a solo home run. No wait, that would have been a highlight 9 years ago, but he did hit a home run in this game. The home run the mattered here was Ian Kinsler's, his 30th, which made him a 30/30 guy. The only other person to do that...

Hank Blalock had two doubles and a home run. It helped. We needed it, too. All of it. Barely squeaked out a run. I didn't see any of the game, I was playing Animal Crossing with my daughter on the Wii, then put the kids to bed, and well, I had already given up on the season anyway...

I didn't watch any of this game, but I did hear some of it while driving around. Yesterday I went to the Stars exhibition game, and before that I picked up the couple of friends I went with early, and we went out to dinner. Because of that, I had the Rangers game on.

I didn't watch any of this game, to be perfectly honest.
I got a new BluRay set in from Amazon today, it was Season 2 of the original Star Trek series. I immediately sat down to watch "The Doomsday Machine", probably one of the most iconic episodes of the original Star...

I spent most of this game working on one of my other websites. I had the game on the radio, but it was background noise. I did, however also have the MLB Gameday thing up in another Firefox tab, when I'd peek in from time to time, but I wasn't paying attention for the most...
G148: Rangers lose again 10-5, I don't really care

The Rangers lost. I barely peeked at the game. I was busy watching the Eagles - Saints game at the time. Then at 3PM I watched the Steelers - Bears game. Both my Pennsylvania teams lost. That's a drag.
However, in the evening, the Cowboys lost, which really REALLY brought me...
