Ron On The Rocks? Washington, Rangers Drop Heartbreaker In Boston
2008-04-21 07:50:00 Of all the miserable, sickening gut-punches the Texas Rangers have dealt to my person over the years, today’s late-game blow to the kidneys easily ranks among the worst I’ve ever sustained. There is no positive way to spin what we witnessed this afternoon. Up 5-0 after six innings, the Rangers systematically choked away a seemingly commanding ...

Rangers Quote Of The Week: 4/20 Edition
2008-04-20 11:10:00 I thought long and hard about making an off-color joke here concerning the relationship between today’s date and Rex Hudler’s - erm - rather infamous 2003 arrest, but I’ll allow your imagination to do the heavy lifting.

Manny?s Late-Inning Blast Stuns Rangers In 5-3 Loss
2008-04-20 10:24:00 From a purely selfish and potentially illogical standpoint, I far prefer the blowout loss to the close, late-inning defeat. Certainly, the latter is better in a variety of different respects; a close defeat more often than not indicates that the starting pitcher survived relatively deep into the game (no less than five innings, in other words), ...

Mendoza, Rangers Grounded By Red Sox In Blowout Fashion
2008-04-19 08:06:00 Boston 11, Texas 3. Truth be told, Friday evening’s contest in front of a post-World War II Fenway Park record crowd of 37,902 wasn’t particularly kind to the Rangers in any way, shape or fashion. But then again, few eight-run losses are kind. After surrendering just a single earned run - albeit, on eight hits and three walks ... More About: Fashion , Mendoza

2008-04-17 09:21:00 It was a game that somehow rolled maddening frustration, heart-stopping theatrics and inescapable joy all into a single, not-so-compact four hour and 53 minute package.

Jennings Flounders In Rangers? Fourth Consecutive Loss
