Walk-Off Vengeance: Vazquez Homer Powers Rangers To 13-12 Victory Over M?s
2008-05-13 10:31:00
There were no immediately detectable traces of hostility, vindictiveness or animosity lingering in the air between the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Monday evening. There was, however, one hell of an exceedingly frustrating, yet ultimately edifying ballgame. The night could not have conceivably begun much worse for starter Vicente Padilla, ...

Rangers Quote(s) Of The Week: Tom Grieve Edition
2008-05-13 01:28:00
What, you were honestly expecting something else in this week’s space? Dream on! “That pitch to Sexson wasn’t even close to hitting him. But I guess when you’re hitting .209, and you can’t drive in any runs, you’re going to try and take it out on the pitcher.” “If Kason Gabbard’s going to hit anybody, he’s going ...

Mother?s Day Letdown: Ponson, Rangers Fall To A?s 12-6
2008-05-12 09:56:00
Last Wednesday, I submitted that the very foundation of Sidney Ponson’s early success was built not upon the strength of glittering strikeout rates or impeccable control, but rather an unsustainably low fly ball rate, coupled with the good fortune of not having surrendered a home run through his first three starts (spanning 20.1 innings) of ...

Where are you going, where have you been? The Texas Rangers bullpen, thoroughly beset by exhaustion after being forced to record 25 outs in Saturday evening’s narrow 6-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics, received a much-needed insurance policy on Sunday. His name? Doug Mathis. The 24-year-old sinkerballer’s contract was purchased from Triple-A Oklahoma before the Mother’s Day series ...

This is Brandon Boggs ’s world - and we are all very privileged to live here.

Tensions Flare As Rangers Win Fourth Consecutive Series

Perhaps the most infuriating aspect of the Texas Rangers ’ 5-0 drubbing of the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field on Thursday evening - which marked their seventh victory in nine games and quietly edged their season record to 16-20, the closest the club has been to the .500 threshold since April 19th - is that buried ...

On Richie Sexson, Kason Gabbard, And Outright Idiocy
2008-05-09 07:17:00
A few things: ? I try very, very hard to steer clear of personal attacks directed towards anybody associated with the great game of baseball, but I’ll make a special exception in this case. Richie Sexson is a gutless, spineless, piece of trash. Because I am so heated, I’ll allow a (semi)-neutral third party - namely, the ...

Padilla Delivers Gem In 2-0 Rangers Win; Broussard On His Way Out?
2008-05-08 10:57:00
Erik Bedard was predictably fantastic. Vicente Padilla was better. There are few things more enjoyable to the die-hard baseball fan than a brisk, well-pitched game from the hometown hero, particularly when coupled with flawless defense and just enough run support to bring home the win. I suppose it goes without saying, then, that Wednesday evening’s game was really, ...

Millwood Implodes In 7-3 Rangers Defeat

It became painfully evident less than 10 pitches into Kevin Millwood’s Monday evening start in Seattle that he had nothing to offer. It only took a few more disheartening innings to realize that Millwood was not to receive anything in return from his offense against the Mariners’ Jarrod Washburn, whom methodically dismantled his opposition for six ...
