Are you kidding me!

Make it 16-14...is there a hitter right now anywhere hotter than Marlon Byrd?!?!?!?!?

19 - 17 Final... Wow... what a pitchers duel. Put down Marlon Byrd as the player of the week after one game... lol

Can you say WHIFFLE BALL?

Can you say slow pitch softball?

Ohhhh, I thought it was an unfinished ping-pong game.

Well... look on the bright side. The Rangers have a better field goal kicker. The Red Sox kicker missed two extra points after touchdowns or the score wudda be 21. At least ours made a field goal...

Its good to see that the Rangers seemed to have solved their problems by firing the pitching coach!

FCBarcelona - Watching the Rangers on a bad day is better than watching s o c c e r on any day.

P.S. Welcome to hsbaseballweb!

Thank you for the welcome cheapseats! I should have known European football wouldnt be the most popular of topics when I posted that I was a s-o-c-c-e-r fan on my about me and it edited it out.

However, I will try to keep my posts strickly about baseball, no matter how much I disagree with your position on the real football.

FC, it has been a running joke on the site about the sport of Commie Football. Though my daughter was a college scholarship athlete in that discipline, somehow the visual of a sport where nobody uses their hands and run around with no apparent purpose is somehow offensive to people who love baseball and the inherent domination of hand to eye co-ordination of baseball.

I am personally somehow offended at the apparent one-sided defensive rules in Commie Football. If you lose your man and get free it is off sides? How about making the defenders play defense. Interesting concept. If they would change the rule, maybe the scoring would increase and it would not be a snoozefest.

As the great Jack Sharp put it..."any game where you can score by hitting the ball with your head is not a sport, it's an activity."

Bighit -

Congrats to you and your boy! Great write up!Yea!!!!

That's awesome Bighit -- congratulations to Eric!

My roommate in college was a huge s****r fan, and I never gave him the time of day. Spring break of my freshman year, I visted him and his family in London, England (He was from overseas). He took me to see an Arsenal game in London and I've loved the game ever since. The spanish league is much more free flowing and asthetically pleasing. The passing is beautiful, and there are more goals generally than the English leagueIf I was starting to watch s****r, the Spanish league woud not be a bad place to start!

I think people in America dont like s****r for the same reason people in England dont care for baseball: they havent been exposed to it enough. If you havent played it or watched it significantly, its hard to appreciate the intricacies of both games that make them beautiful.

FC...well said...both my sons are baseball players AND huge Arsenal fans.

Harrison pitched a great 8 inning shut out against Tampa Bay tonight! Defensive play of the game was an amazing snag over the wall by Hamilton in center. That was the closest TB came to scoring. Kinsler ended up being the only needed run when he hit the game's first pitch into the left field seats.

It was fun again!

Actually it was the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning. I thought you knew that since you were sitting beside me at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Pay attention, woman!

You really love to live dangerously don't you tychco!!

tycho... I think my dog has extra room in his doghouse if you need a place to stay for awhile...

How about Hamilton getting intentionally walked last night with the bases loaded? Don't see often.

If it isn't for that quote above, I will be in the doghouse for something, so keep it open for me...

I read in Forbes (at least I think it was Forbes), that Rangers fans are the most loyal in baseball, even more than Cubs fans
