• Well, that was quick.  Right
  after I posted this morning about finding the 2004 TV schedule, I found it
  right away.  I’ve now updated my 2004
  Schedule Pages with the information.

• Indeed, there are 7 games that are
  listed as "TBA", and with the announcement that 155 Ranger games will be
  carried on TV this year, instead of the usual 162, the 7 I found with no
  listed TV info would match up with that.  The 7 dates are May 2, May 22,
  Jun 26, Sep 12, Sep 19, Sep 23, Oct 2.   However, some of these are
  also scheduled national games.  May 2nd is an ESPN game and May 22nd is a
  Fox Saturday Game of the Week.  The remaining 5 games are not scheduled,
  and I find it odd that 4 of those 5 are all in September.

• I just noticed that the spring
  training broadcast schedule has been posted, so I’ve updated my
  2004 Spring Training Schedule page with
  that info.  Two spring training games are on TV this year.  Wish
  there’d be more, though.  :)

• Hicks now says that this report is
  inaccurate and has denied talks.  MY HEAD HURTS!

• It was reported today that the
  Arod trade talks with Boston are back on.  What a shocker. 
  Discuss it here.  
  ESPN’s site is running a new poll about the Arod trade talks –
  
  go vote.

• It’s reported this morning that
  the Rangers have signed Kenny Rogers (2 yrs)
  and Jeff Nelson (1 yr).  Nelson is
  expected to be announced on Monday, while Kenny on Tuesday.   No
  word yet as to who will be dropped from the 40 man roster to accommodate these
  signings.  Details &
  discussions here.

• IF/OF Eric Young signed to a 1
  year contract today – details &
  discussion here.

We finally signed Mark Teixeira – details & discussion here.
Chris Michalak claimed off waivers from Toronto – details & discussion here.
There’s a nice article on Ruben Sierra up on the MLB site – check it out.

Danny Kolb was called up from AAA after Saturday night’s game. Why we didn’t dump Pat Mahomes at the same time, I don’t know.

Hey – some cool stuff last night! A home run by Cal in his last at bat in Texas (kudos to the woman who caught the ball and isn’t selling it).. The first four game home sweep EVER at TBIA.. Our first four game winning streak of the season.. Happened with a 9-7 win last night.
However, it wasn’t all good – Ruben Sierra hurt himself, and has to go on the DL. Details.

Andres Galarraga was traded to the Giants today for three minor leaguers (Chris Magruder, Erasmo Ramirez, & Todd Ozias).
