Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers (in a losing performance Wednesday night at The Ballpark in Arlington): Flatter than a flitter....
The Texas Rangers lost ground this weekend in their effort to get into the postseason playoffs. It's probably my fault. I bought playoff tickets Saturday morning. My bad....
Among the Texas Rangers personnel listed in today's injury update, I was surprised to see this one: Rangers owner Tom Hicks had hip replacement surgery Wednesday. While they're in the area, could doctors also do a wallet transplant?...
The Texas Rangers played some great, playoff-feel baseball games against the Boston Red Sox this weekend. They won two of the three games in fine form. And the other? Well, it was one of the most sickening, crushing, heartbreaking games...
Since I posted a photo yesterday of my older granddaughter at a Rangers game, I have to be fair and include one today of the younger. That's Maggie Blow, who turned 1 on June 11. She was cheering for the...
In all my years of going to Rangers game, I've had foul balls land all around my seat. But I've never had one come right at me -- until last night. And naturally, when a foul ball finally came my...
Could it be? Our own, humble Texas Rangers are so hot that thieves are stealing team merch? I remember when they couldn't give the stuff away. Way back last year....
I dunno, the Carrollton lady who was asked to turn her "Yankees Suck" t-shirt inside-out at the ballpark probably has a point in characterizing the shirt as the sort of low-key fan-razzing that goes on at every game. I get...
...and the winner is --- Cowboys Stadium! Huh? I'm trying to figure out which moniker is less intriguing or inspiring or imaginative: The Ballpark in Arlington or Cowboys Stadium? And does this mean that there wasn't a big corporate sponsor...
Fellow baseball fans, let's just take a moment to savor. Our Rangers are in first place....
It doesn't take much for Dallas sports fans, including myself, to get the "this-is-our-year" fever. My cohorts are absolutely giddy about the Rangers starting the season 3-0 (the score's 11-3 Texas in the fifth inning of today's game). And I'll...
Brandon Young, 23, threw his main squeeze, Dericka Kitts, 32, a curveball, bending down on one knee and asking her to marry him. Dericka fell for the pitch! Now the baseball-loving couple are plotting a summer wedding in Jamaica, after...
That dang Steve Blow is where I should be today. Here's his report from Rangers Ballpark in Arlington: Former president George W. Bush may be unpopular in some places, but the ovation was long and loud as he took the...
So I was saying the other day that a late-season freeze is bound to come once I get my tomatoes planted. My other surefire weather prediction: Chilly and breezy for the Rangers' opening day. And, alas, sometimes both my weather...
I went to the Rangers-Mariners game last night. I had trouble watching the scoreboard because I was so preoccupied with the stadium thermometer. It was five minutes till 8 when the temperature finally dropped below 100. Paid $7 for a...
DMN colleague Gary Jacobson wrote an intriguing story today about how the Texas Rangers are faring in this rough economy. The Rangers -- heretofore known as Next Decade's Champion (don't want to get your hopes up too high) -- are...
Rangers outfielder Milton Bradley, explaining his attempted visit to the Kansas City broadcast booth: "I'm extremely complex. I'm not easy to understand." Remember that line, kids, after your next tantrum....
Rangers closer C.J. Young is a freewheeling kind of character. Based on a quote today, I'm thinking he may have some of Yogi Berra's flair for words. He said he's not worried about allowing six runs in less than two...
I used free tickets to go to last night's Texas Rangers game. And I still feel cheated....
Eric Celeste over on D's FrontBurner has this funny: It's the home opener for YOUR Texas Rangers, and, thankfully, there's construction on I-30! To celebrate this event, it appears the Morning News asked the team's All-Star shortstop to pen this...
