Texas Rangers

But pitching problems started with Wandy’s difficulty in locating in the first - a 4 pitch walk to The Riot, then a double to DLee in the LF corner (and good play by Clank getting the throw in to hold Riot at third, by the way - see, when he makes a good play, I notice…) then a HBP, then DeRosa do...

Both recent bullpen melt-downs have something in common, fielding errors coupled with bad pitching. The relievers are not showing much composure when the players behind them make a mistake. I would expect a rookie like Arrendondo to have trouble maintaining concentration but he will ma...

Even though the A’s got off to a great start and even had a strong run differential, it was clear to those watching the team that the A’s margin for error was relatively small. The offense has been dramatically inconsistent this season, so any slump from the pitching staff was bound to result...

Final USMNT Roster, amended Saturday: M- Freddy Adu (SL Benfica), DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Maurice Edu (Toronto FC), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Eddie Lewis (Derby County), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids)

The program does not, however, condone the pre-meditated use of a batting helmet as a mound-charging weapon, as Mariners first baseman Richie Sexson employed at the close of MLB’s Week 6 against the Rangers. The guys ask “If there’s room for fighting in baseball, where is it?”

It will be game time for us in the next 25 or some minutes as we take on the Rangers in their home opener. Right now, as we all know, we are 5-1, riding high on a five game winning streak and first in the AL East; meanwhile, the Rangers are 3-3 in the AL [...]

“The Pitch” puts these questions and more to Lone Star Ball author Adam Morris in an attempt to gauge the root of the Rangers’ inability to reach October. The guys also cover the mystery of Hank Blalock, the difficulty of pitching in Arlington and some trades still in the mix for Texas.

By Doug Fischer It was a day of celebration in New York, as the Giants had their ticker tape parade, for multi-sport fans the cheers quickly became jeers, as the Rangers fell to the Kings 4-2 at the Garden. The good news for the Rangers, we didn’t lose that much ground tonight, the Islanders and Bruins lost, h...

By Doug Fischer My Three Stars: 3- Zach Parise (G) 1- Chris Drury (2G) Honorable Mentions* NYR- Scott Gomez (G) For the second time in as many nights, the Rangers were able to bring their style of hockey on the road picking up 4 much needed points along the way. Today’s success came from several factors.

By DJ Abisalih 3- BOS Glen Metropolit New York, NY- Prior to their weekend home-and-home series, the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers were knotted up with 49 points a piece. On Saturday afternoon, the Bruins snuck away with a 4-3 win in a shootout to take a one point lead on their foes from New York. On Sunda...

By Doug Fischer Honorable Mention will go to the whole team for this great effort… Especially Dubinsky who had 3 helpers, 11 Rangers were in the points column. Toronto was the 4th least penalized team in the NHL, so how’d they do, 11 penalties. The Rangers had their way in this one… If only Rozsival would ever...

By Jeff Kallman Here’s one thought: That contract, out of which he opted. Caple makes a point of reminding us that the Texas Rangers had a winning record the season after A-Rude departed but none since. But he didn’t address the point that one major reason just might have been that the burden of his contract o...

By Pizza Cutter Perhaps the Rangers should follow the lead of the Angels.  They should become the Arlington Rangers.  Then the Dallas Rangers.  Then the Dallas Rangers of Arlington.  Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it.  As the thirty part series of team reviews (in reverse alphabetical order!) continues, le...

By DJ Abisalih Although neither team could find the twine during regulation or overtime, it wasn’t for a lack of chances. Fernandez and New York’s Henrik Lundqvist both made key saves to keep the game scoreless. Fernandez ended up with 26 saves, while Lundqvist registered 19.
