Rangers plowed under at home

Posted on October 23, 2011 | Comments Off on Rangers plowed under at home

That Rangers loss tonight by 16-7 was mind blowing. Shades of San Francisco in 2010. Oh my. Leaving me with a few heretical thoughts:

Like everybody else, I like Josh Hamilton. But how about sitting him? His injury obviously is keeping him from running and probably from hitting as well. Just lucky he can field. So far, anyhow.

How about intentionally walking Pujols henceforth? How many home runs do you want him to hit? Especially with runners on base? Walk him, please.

Can we stop with the errors (Ian, Elvis?), and get some power hitting back?

How about kicking that 1B ref out of the park for his obvious bad call? It started a Card rally that never stopped. They kicked out the stupid kid who threw the ball into the outfield, which was correct. Now the ref, if you please.

Not that Wash, or the commenters at BBTIA, would agree with No. 1, but what the hey, it’s time to drop the sentiment and get real.

Rangers sweep the All-Stars

Mr. Boy had to regretfully go to bed before the eighth inning, so he missed seeing the game drag on through fifteen innings and the Rangers’ Michael Young finally put it away, 4-3, with an RBI. Neat. After Hamilton’s record-breaking, homer-hitting performance the other night, Young’s ending the game for the AL’s twelfth victory in a row, kept the focus where we wanted it, on the Rangers. Now let their pitching improve (please, Lord) and may their second half of the season be as sweet!

Mr. Boy had his hero worship more than confirmed last night watching Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton hit a record twenty-eight HRs in the first round of the All-Stars Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium–thirteen in a row! JH finished with thirty-six homers, although he didn’t win the thing, which is explained here. But the night was his as the stadium crowd chanted his name. Me and Mr. B. will be looking for Josh and the other Ranger All-Stars–Milton Bradley, Ian Kinsler, and Michael Young–in tonight’s game.

Hamilton, Bradley, Kinsler & Young

Posted on July 7, 2008 | Comments Off on Hamilton, Bradley, Kinsler & Young

Might sound like a law firm but these guys are the top four hitters of the Texas Rangers, and Mr. B. was thrilled to discover this morning on the way to day camp that they’re all new AL all-stars.
