Link to the story   This seems to make a lot of sense, and I'm all for it for selfish reasons. The only time I go see the Express now is when they play OKC. It would help the Rangers' fan base in...

For my fellow Austin Rangers fans who are frustrated by the flakiness of Time Warner: I made a discovery two days ago. I have the DTV box instead of cable. I get a few channels (ABC, NBC, CBS,...

In two weeks I'm making the drive up I-35 for a weekend in Dallas. I'm taking my girlfriend, who has a pretty negative opinion of Big D, so I want to show her a good time. Fortunately, I have lined...

I found this article to be intersting. Particularly because it shows that even Mr. Sabermetrics is influenced a bit by emotion when thinking about a player:http://www.slate.com/id/2184797/B...

I hope this guy makes it. Now that Edinson is out of the system, I think he has the best name of any player in the Rangers system, which is saying something given the presence of a catcher named...

Anyone else going? I'm going to head out of here shortly to head down. People have started to really hate on it and complain about it in Austin, but I always have a blast. The White Stripes...

This may or may not be diary worthy, but I just surfed over to Shroom's Farm Probs site and was blown away. I hadn't seen the site in a while, and I was impressed with what he's done with it. It's...

We'll have to wait another year for the showdown with Joey Chestnut:http://tinyurl.com/2bvznlJaw pain. How the mighty have fallen. Now what am I going to do with my 4th of July? Without competitive...

So, just got a confirmation from the Blue Glove Lefty: The sick-azz pitch that he struck Eric Chavez out on last night was a gyroball. If you recall, the pitch looked like a low-90s heater, but...

According to Jeff at Lookout Landing.Now, we all know Jeff's irrational Michael Young hatred is well established, perhaps surpassed only by our own Cahill and Martin (Kidding!!!). I was a little...

Looking at Adam and Ben's nifty Al West Standings on the left of the blog, I'm reminded how much I really hate all the other teams in the AL West. I think I hate every AL West team more than any...

This was going to be a comment, but I figured it was substantial enough to merit a diary.Two points of info on Young and Tex:Michael Young's batting average on balls in play is a shocking .174...

Apparently CJ Wilson's myspace page has been deactivated. Anyone know anything? I wonder if it has to do with his post about pending free agents (in which he hilariously begged management not to...

Question for the collective knowledge of LSB:Does anyone know if the the bid for negotiating rights with DM would count toward a team's liability in determining that team's luxury tax?        ...

According to the IHT, the Seibu Lions will be posting DM, so it's now up to JD and Hicks to outbid the Yankees et al for negotiating rights for his services.http://tinyurl.com/gcubqI've seen him...

Ok, which trade was worse:Sori for Wilk, Sledge, GalaraggaorYoung, Gonzalez, Termel Sledge for Eaton, Otsuka, and random catching prospect.You are encouraged to support your answer with some...

I apologize in advance if this diary is frivolous.When Kameron Loe went on the DL, I was in Europe and I missed the whole thing. What happened to him? Now it appears to be assumed that Loe will...

Now that the Rangers have finished laying the smack down on the O's and we've solved the Middle East crisis, here's another terribly pressing issue for the Lone Star Ball community: Ranger entrance...

Well, I'm back from Germany (along with the US squad). I was pretty bummed about having to come back and go to work after two weeks of nothing but soccer, beer, and European women. But, I was...

Given the debate that has occurred here recently, I thought I'd share this article on Slate.com about steroids. No evidence is offerred by against Pujols, Giambi, or Clemens, but the author's point...
