60-61 – Rangers lose to Biblically accurate Angels
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Anaheim Angels scored five runs. I’m a big baseball fan so when I see or meet anyone I always tell them, “If you ever get the chance, you gotta see George Klassen pitch.” He’s one of the greatest of all time and it’s a privilege and a […]

Angels 3, Rangers 2
60-60 – Rangers slink back to .500 with another loss to Angels
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the Anaheim Angels scored three runs. The Rangers had two paths they could take tonight.

Thoughts on a 10-5 Rangers loss
Orioles 10, Rangers 5
59-59 – Rangers battered by birds in 10-5 finale loss to Baltimore
The Texas Rangers scored five runs but the Baltimore Orioles scored ten runs. Put that broom away, Herbie. There will be no sweeping today.
