World Series Game 4
Having returned home, the Rangers won on Saturday and seemed to energize a World Series that had opened in lopsided fashion. But after losing to the San Francisco Giants, 4-0, on Sunday, the Rangers find themselves in a Texas-size hole. With a superb outing by the 21-year-old rookie Madison Bumgarner, the Giants took a commanding [...]
Madison Bumgarner
The unlikeliness of it all. One year ago, Madison Bumgarner was a pitching prospect without a fastball. His velocity wasn’t just down, it was Rueterian. And as he was always known as a one-pitch pitcher — the changeup and breaking ball were so raw that they barely warranted a mention — so the red flags [...]
Mega Millions Winning Numbers
The numbers in the Wednesday multi-state Mega Millions draw were 2, 7, 18, 32, 53 and the Mega number was 18. The estimated jackpot was $101 million. If no tickets were sold with all six numbers, the jackpot for the next drawing, scheduled for Tuesday, will rise to $118 million, a California Lottery official said. [...]
Arlington TX
ARLINGTON — High above Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, on a night when rain threatened to spoil the biggest night in Texas Rangers history, a breeze from the south blew steadily. The flags atop the home-run porch in right field were waving proudly late Friday, including the rookie of the bunch. It reads: 2010 American League [...]
Nolan Ryan
ARLINGTON, Texas — Rangers president and part-owner Nolan Ryan looked around Rangers Ballpark in Arlington as if trying to burn the memory of Friday’s Game 6 win in his mind. Ryan saw a club — his club — advance to its first World Series in franchise history. And he watched as 51,404 cheered and enjoyed [...]
World Series 2010 Schedule
A winner in the American League Championship Series of Major League Baseball (MLB) has been finalized already after Texas Rangers beat defending champions New York Yankees at a score of 6-1 Friday night. It was a big leap for the Rangers as this was their first time in their 50 years as a franchise to [...]
Josh Hamilton Story
The Texas Rangers did what was once-considered impossible: they beat the upstart New York Yankees 6 to 1 to earn the right to play in the franchise’s first World Series in its history. The win was a story of the play of ALCS Series MVP Outfielder John Hamilton and Pitcher Colby Lewis. Hamilton and Lewis [...]
Colby Lewis
East Asia has long been a place to look toward for wisdom and truth. Some of the world’s greatest thinkers – Confucius, Sun-Tzu, Miyamoto Musashi – created earth-shattering philosophies that changed the way people thought about religion, war and even life itself. Colby Lewis did not travel to Japan in to discover a new outlook [...]
World Series 2010
The 2010 World Series schedule is available. The ALCS and NLCS pennant winners and the 2010 World Series schedule will determine who is the best baseball player this year. In the ALCS, the Yankees trail the Rangers, but they won and now they are back in Texas tomorrow, where one win at the home field [...]
Cliff Lee Baffles
In the sixth inning of tonight’s 8-0 Rangers’ Game 3 win over the Yankees, Yankee Stadium was louder than it’s been all season. With the Yankees’ casual cruise through the regular season and one ALDS game against the Twins that was wrapped up in the fourth inning, the fanbase had forgotten what it was like [...]
Edwin Jackson Pitches No Hitter
Diamondbacks pitcher Edwin Jackson hurled a no-hitter, but he was from perfect. Jackson completed the no-hitter with eight walks and just six strike outs, while throwing 149 pitches. Jackson did not relish in the fact that it was his former team that was no-hit, but merely a coincidence. Jackson is the fourth pitcher to throw [...]
