Rangers Beat Jays in 14

A few years ago my friends and I were headed to a comedy club and when we were almost there, one realized he'd left his wallet and ID back at the place. We had to go back and get it, making us late for the show.

Not that there was anything comical about last night's game, but Broussard would be my ID-less friend (and Benoit would be the one no one wanted to come but came anyway).

I hate walks, but another thing I beginning to hate more is allowing batters to get to a full count with two outs. It seems like this happens all the time by Ranger pitchers which allows the baserunners to run on the pitch.

And now Blalock's back is bad again. I'm anxious to see what's next in line at 3rd because even though I have been happy with Hank's play so far, I'm nervous about his long-term health.

Kason Gabbard. Please don't get pissed that the team squandered your performance. Don't get upset because it's going to happen again...and again...and...you get the point. Hmmmm, maybe this is why pitchers don't want to come to Texas.

Official Apology



Sorry Kenny. Didn't know it was going to turn out to be a blood clot. I honestly do feel bad. Get healthy soon.

As for Los Rangers, I'm taking this terrible rain as a bad omen. First game back in town, and I'm ready to get in the bath tub and cover up with a matress. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow.

With opening day this weekend, I hae heard some crazy talk on the radio but the nuttiest may have come from our own Newberg. On an interview with The Ticket's Ben and Skin, I heard Newberg compare Blalock to George Brett. Are you kidding me? Some nonsense about getting back to what got him to the majors and hitting the other way. Sorry. Hank never has been able to go opposite field, and I've never been a fan of his because of that very reason. Sorry about that George. People get a little insane this time of year.
