Walk-off Home Run - Rangers Win Game 1


GO RANGERS!!!

HELLO WIN COLUMN!!!! Rangers beat the Angles in Game 1, 5-6! (are you dancing in your PJ's??? you should be!!!) 

 The majority of the Angles runs came in the 2nd inning when our infielders had a few mental breakdowns and had a record 4 Errors! This is not a good statistic to have... they tied some record in Rangers history for the amount of Errors in this game... boo! 

 HOWEVER... WE WON!!! They were able to pull themselves out of the slump after being down 2 runs going into the 3rd inning. 

 ~ A.J. Pierzynski (catcher - guy who catches the ball behind home plate) - had two hits an an RBI! He hasn't done much in the past month... so if he plans to come alive in the last 4 games of the regular season and give us Playoff hopes... game on! 

 ~ Joe Nathan (closing pitcher - same position as that Mariano Rivera guy I told you about yesterday) - His job is to NEVER... EVER allow runs. Bring the heat! Throw fast balls higher than 95 mph! Be lights out! Tonight... he did just that! Nathan has been clutch for the Rangers for a while - he had a few bad games, but hopefully he's back in action as well! He got us the W... we'll take it! 

 ~ Jurickson Profar - this dude... he came in to "pinch hit" - This means that if he comes in the game... Ian Kinsler (our starting 2nd baseman) would not be allowed to go back into the game if they went into extra innings. They're tied 5-5 in the bottom of the 9th - Profar enters the game for the first time tonight and is the lead-off batter (first batter to start that inning)... he GOES YARD!!!! ("going yard" - means he hit a home run)!!!! Walk-off means he won the game by scoring the winning run and he can literally walk off the field after!!! There's so much more to tell you about Profar - but you need to know this is his first full season with the Rangers!!! Future is bright! 

 **Talk about it!!! I know we're still one game behind Cleveland, but I really like our chances tomorrow night against CJ Wilson and the Angels line-up! They held Hamilton off tonight, which is a good thing for us!** 

 **If you're watching the Indians vs. Twins or Rays vs. Yankees - cheer for the Twins and Yankees! We need the Cleveland Indians and the Tampa Bay Rays to lose their next 3 games for us to secure a spot in the playoffs!**

Game 2 - tomorrow night... 

Texas Rangers Pitching Line-up:

SEPTEMBER 27, 7:05 PM CT
ALEXI OGANDO - ERA 2.93
Alexi is matched up with CJ Wilson (pitcher for LA) - CJ used to pitch for the Rangers - and as far as I'm concerned - we are able to get inside his head every time he pitches here! IF you're at the GAME (which I will be) - cheer loudly - but don't be rude!!! :) 
SEPTEMBER 28, 7:05 PM CT
DEREK HOLLAND - ERA 3.33
Angels Pitcher - Garrett Richards - ERA 4.09
SEPTEMBER 29, 2:05 PM CT
YU DARVISH - ERA 2.82 - CLUTCH!
Angels Pitcher - Jason Vargas - ERA 4.01

Buy a ticket to one of the last games - and do NOT boo Josh Hamilton! Have some class people! And even if you're not going to a game... you should wear Rangers gear to work tomorrow! Show some pride!! 

Random Info:
~ In NFL news... San Francisco beat the St. Louis Rams tonight... badly! Not looking good if you're a Rams fan... or a Sam Bradford fan. But it felt great for a fan of Fantasy Football, who just so happens to have Colin Kaepernick in one of her Fantasy leagues... :)

All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again.

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 2 ~ Texas Rangers ~ Subway Series, Matt Harvey

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-0  (wins - losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles  - We won!!! Y'all. Everyone is injured. Yes, we won, but it was still as chaotic as it was against the Giants in Week 1.  Injuries... to our Starters...  Quarterback - Tony Romo is out with a collarbone fracture. For probably 8 weeks. He doesn't need surgery, which is a good thing!! He had this same injury in 2010, caused by the Giants. So, he needs to be a little more careful vs. the Eagles and Giants.  Tight End - Jason Witten is probable for this week with two ankle sprains and a sprained knee. He has proven he is one of the toughest guys ... EVER. He will most likely play through the pain, but if he wants to take a rest vs. the Atlanta Falcons this week, I'm okay with that.  Wide Receiver  -  Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot . He had surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. If we go 6 weeks, the Cowboys have a BYE Week in Week 6, so technica...
