64-66 – Rangers remain buns with the bats, fall 3-0 to Angels
The Texas Rangers did not score but the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers were honoring the 1996 club tonight. A lot can change in 30 years, apparently. Unlike this year’s team, the ‘96ers are a version of this franchise that I hold near and dear to my heart, so hopefully the players who […]

Thoughts on a 2-1 Rangers win
Rangers 2, Angels 1
64-65 – Rangers wait until the last moment to beat Angels 2-1 in 10
The Texas Rangers scored two runs while the Anaheim Angels scored one run in ten innings.

The win also featured deGrom’s 2,000th strikeout. Jeff Wilson writes that the milestone wasn’t the most important part of the night for the Rangers’ ace. Elsewhere […]
Thoughts on a 2-0 Rangers win
Rangers 2, Nationals 0
63-65 – Elder stars help Rangers eke out 2-0 win over Nationals
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Washington Nationals did not score any runs. The Rangers didn’t have a hit with RISP all evening despite ten chances and they also left eight on base, signifying ample opportunities that did not bear fruit. Were it any other night, we would perhaps be bemoaning these facts. […]

Thursday Trivia Time
Its a Thursday afternoon, and everyone is all grouchy after last night’s loss. Seems like a good time to offer up a trivia question. Once again, a couple of rules… 1 — Put a spoiler over your answer in the comments. 2 — Don’t go digging around on baseball sites to try to discover the […]

Thoughts on a 6-0 Rangers loss
Nationals 6, Rangers 0
62-65 – Rangers still aren’t very good, lose 6-0 to Nationals
The Texas Rangers didn’t score a run but the Washington Nationals scored six runs. Everything that was fun and nice and enjoyable about last night’s game was immediately extinguished by tonight’s game.
