Going tonight

Posted by Joe Siegler on September 23, 2011 at 3:31 pm

I’m going to Friday night’s Rangers game. I’ll be setting a new low in number of games attended (that isn’t a zero, I didn’t go to any in 1994 or 1995). This will be my SECOND game of the season.
Extended unemployment really saps your casual spending money big time. :(
Still, there’s a shot they could clinch tonight. I’m hoping Chuck puts on the Angels game on the Jumbotron after the fireworks so we can see them lose and we’d clinch. :)

I’m behind again

Posted by Joe Siegler on September 6, 2011 at 12:58 pm

Seems this having to watch/listen to games at real time is affecting me more than I anticipated. I’m missing weeks at a time here.
Will get caught up again soon, hopefully. :)
I miss Fox Sports Southwest!

Texas Rangers iPod playlist

Posted by Joe Siegler on August 20, 2011 at 2:15 pm

Hey Texas Rangers fans.. What would you pick for a Texas Rangers specific playlist of songs? My list of iTunes tracks is woefully inadequate for the Rangers, but I’m having problems coming up with more than the three I have.
The three I have are:
Johnny Cash – Ring of Fire
Little Texas – God Blessed Texas
Merle Haggard – That’s the Way Baseball Go
Brother Cane – And Fools Shine On
That last one was a song the Rangers used to play a lot during their “take the field” music during the 1998 season.
The only other thing I can think of is the Texas Rangers specific version of “Talkin’ Baseball” by Terry Cashman, but I’ve never been able to find that to purchase online. Tkx for suggestions.
If you have any suggestions, drop me a line. Tkx.

G126: Rangers homer their way to win in Chicago, 7-4

Posted by Joe Siegler on August 20, 2011 at 1:36 pm http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_08_19_texmlb_chamlb_1&mode=wrap>MLB.com Recap

Early on, I thought we were in trouble.
Matt Harrison was anything but sharp. He gave up four runs in this game, two of them in the first inning. A third in the second inning, and the final one in the fifth. That he was even out there in the fifth to give up that last one was a bit of a surprise to me. He was totally ineffective.
Jake Peavy, on the other hand was pretty dominant through the lineup in the first three innings. In fact, other than walk to Mike Napoli in the second inning, Peavy would have gotten through 1-9 perfectly, 9 up 9 down. Peavy actually started into the fourth inning like that, too. First two guys down.
Then the wheels fell off. Michael Young singled sharply into left field for the Rangers first hit of the game. Was a clean hit, too. OK, that was done, but it seemed like that hit took all the air out of Peavy oddly enough. Nelson Cruz followed that up with a double down the left field line, scoring Michael Young. OK, we’re on the board. Napoli walked again for the second time in the game. It set the stage for Mitch Moreland, and in a swing that reminded me of Hank Blalock’s shot against Eric Gagne here some years ago in the All Star game, Mitch jacked one out to right center field for a three run home run, giving us the lead.
After the home run, Peavy settled down a bit. 1-2-3 in the fifth, but the sixth.. nope. Josh Hamilton had an epic at bat in the sixth. It went ten pitches, and he fouled off something like five or six pitches in a row. Forget the exact number, but it was at least five of them. On the tenth pitch of the bat, he tattoed one that was a total no doubter off the bat. The right fielder looked a bit, but barely moved. Went 3/4 of the way up the crowd in right. Solo home run, and a great battle. Mike Napoli also singled this inning, at least personally earning his base with his bat this time. Mitch Moreland followed it with his second home run of the game and his fourth & fifth RBI’s of the night. As I have Moreland on a couple of my fantasy teams, that was a good night for me.
That was the end of the scoring, the White Sox didn’t do anything in their last four frames, and the Rangers didn’t add any more. But it was over, anyway.
Tateyama had come on in the fifth inning, and put out not a huge fire, but picked up Matt Harrison. Tateyama was quite good this night. 2.2 innings pitched, the only thing he allowed was a single walk.
Mike Adams & Neftali Feliz also pitched perfect innings too – one each. The pen was rock solid tonight, showing it’s much improved variant since the trading deadline.
This was a solid win, one I think we needed after the disappointment of the walkoff in Anaheim the night before. Feeling good about the rest of this series.

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
