CJ Wilson went the full 9 tonight versus the Mariners, while giving up only 1 earned run and fanning 12. The Rangers won 5-2. The defensive woes continued for the team and for Andrus, who committed his 8th error of the season.
Neftali Feliz and Tommy Hunter both pitched for AA Frisco. Feliz w... Comment - Like

Before the 2010 ALCS, the Rangers, Mariners, and Expos/Senators franchises were the 3 teams to never make it to the World Series. You can cross the Rangers off that list.
Previous Rangers postseason history was ’96, ’98, and the ’99 seasons. All three ALDS series were vs. the Yankees, and... Comment - Like

If you were going to tell me before the game that Tommy Hunter was going to go 3 1/3 innings and give up 3 runs, I’d say the Rangers would be be in big time trouble. However, those would be the only 3 runs the Yankees would score while the Rangers would score in the 6th, 7th, and 9th innings. ... Comment - Like

Game 2 (Sat): Colby Lewis vs. Phil Hughes
Game 3 (Mon): Cliff Lee vs. Andy Pettitte

Just in case you didn’t already know, here is the Claw and Antlers explained for the Texas Rangers:
The Claw:
The claw was developed by minor league player Esteban German of the Texas Rangers. It’s basically an air high five to the dugout from a player on base who gets a hit.

Thought it was kinda cool how spread out baseball is through the United States so I found this map that shows all the MLB teams. I circled the 8 teams in the postseason in 2010. The distance from San Francisco, CA to Bronx, New York is about 2900 miles. Comment - Like

Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 to claim their first World Cup title. Andres Iniesta scored in the 116th minute to score the game’s only goal. Fourteen yellow cards and a lack of goals made for a slow game. I thought both nations deserved a Cup so I was happy either way. Spain is no... Comment - Like

Spain lost 1-0 to Switzerland today in the World Cup. Quite a shocker, considering the Spanish are favored by many to take it all this Cup. It’s hard to say Spain played bad – they dominated possession with 74% and had more shots and shots on goal than the Swiss did. However, Swiss... Comment - Like
