So, since the Rangers did this without A-Rod, does this exist as evidence of the "Ewing Theory"? Professional Red Sox fan Bill Simmons, please respond.

The sad part, well the other sad part, was that their starting pitcher got the loss, and allowed the fewest runs of all the O's pitchers in that game.

Rangers reliever Wes Littleton worked three scoreless innings and got credit for a save. Somewhere, former Texas closer Mitch Williams wishes it was always that easy, between shots of scotch.

not to go all Tim "I sound like Marge Simpson with laryngitis" Kurkijan on you---but MY favorite part of the whole slugfest: The Rangers raised their batting average four points---in the 125th game of the year!!

"The Sun, the only professional team that calls a casino home, open up the WNBA playoffs Thursday against the red-hot Fever. Hey, did you know that the Sun used to be the Orlando Miracle, before the Magic sold the team to the Mohegan Indian tribe? Of course you did. Good thing for the Sun they didn't sell them to ESPN -- because then they'd be called the Blowhards. Am I right haters? "
