Darvish gives up one run in loss
Where, oh where has the Rangers offense gone? I feel like they used it all in the Detroit series. Or something. All I know is I want it back.
Yu Darvish pitched six frames, and the only Oakland run was a home run by Yeonis Cespedes. Honestly, Darvish wasn’t his sharpest tonight, but he was still good enough for a win. If only he’d had a little offense to help him out.
Unfortunately...

Watch Miguel Cabrera’s three home runs against the Rangers
Even though the Detroit Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers, 11-8, Miguel Cabrera put on quite a show at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Cabrera finished 4-4 on the night (one intentional walk) and also hitting three long balls back-to-back-to-back.
It’s either Cabrera or Albert Pujols for the best hitter in our era. I’d have to side with Cabby.

Rangers outslug Tigers to win series
OK, so I lied to you on Thursday night. I told you I’d be back on Saturday, and I decided to go out instead. But I did read about the game and love that Elvis Andrus had a five-hit night. Then again, I generally love Elvis Andrus. So, there’s that.
For tonight’s game, I somehow persuaded a friend to go watch it with me at a local establishment. We knew weather was...
