    Three walk-offs for the Rangers three nights in a row (and they sweep the Angels).

    Say it ain't so!

    The Rangers are awesome. Are we obliged to root for them since this is a Texas team?

    At what point does Jose Fernandez start getting some serious national attention?

    20 years old and a top 5 pitcher in baseball already.

    Stros and Marlins did some nice pickin in mid-first round 2011.

    I've never seen a player assimilate to his surroundings so quickly.

    Garza apologizes for rant

    All I want to say is I let my competitive spirit cross outside the lines, and that shouldn't happen. I let my passion, my fire carry over, and that's not how this game should be played. And for that I apologize to the Sogards for anything that was said through my Twitter. That's all I have. I regret what happened, and I'm just looking forward to a great game today.

    As much as I dont like Dallas...Cuban is totally spot on with his assessment of the ARod situation. Secondly, Selig is a total scumbag...especially letting the biggest dou.che bag off Scott-free in Braun...

    Secondly, there is no doubt, Selig moved head over heels to prevent Cuban from buying the Rangers or the Cubs...That was intentional...and this rip was personal.

    Man, what's the deal with the braves constantly beaning a 20 year old? you'd think an org with their history would be above that. pretty classy fans too...cheering fastballs at Harper's head. **** the braves! Can they just not be good for once?

    Anyway , disappointing season for the Nats. =/
