Prince Fielder Eats It
Prince Fielder rounded third base and fell in Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers. Everyone laughed at him. Even Prince had to laugh at himself. What a day....
Jim Knox Celebrates Rangers' Korean Night By Breaking Board With Head
We’re big fans of Texas Rangers sideline guy Jim Knox, and tonight Knoxie presented his latest stunt: teaming with the Taekwondo Association of Texas to celebrate Korean Night at the ballpark in Arlington with some board-breaking....
Joey Gallo Is Already Raking
Rangers third baseman Joey Gallo made his major league debut tonight, and I can already tell that he is going to be one of my favorite baseball players. Basically, every time he comes to the plate, Gallo swings as hard as he possibly can. This results in a ludicrous number of strikeouts, but an equa...
Mats Zuccarello's Injury Turned Out To Be Terrifying
The Rangers season might have gone very differently if they hadn’t lost fifth-leading scorer Mats Zuccarello in the last game of the opening round against Pittsburgh. The Rangers winger was struck in the head with a slapshot, left the game, and never returned....
Josh Hamilton Is Feeling Right At Home
The Red Sox dared Josh Hamilton to beat them. With two outs in the ninth and the tying run on third, John Farrell issued an intentional walk to Prince Fielder to bring up the pinch-hitting Hamilton. It’s an old baseball adage to never put the winning run on base, but when the choice is Fielder (havi...
A Tale Of Two Goalies In Game 7
Henrik Lundqvist isn’t supposed to lose Game 7. And to be fair, New York’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay last night was in no way Lundqvist’s fault. For two periods New York’s attack was ineffectual, and its defense allowed the Lightning to get off a number of quality shots. Lundqvist saved them all. Even t...
Prince Fielder Foul Ball Leaves Woman Covered In Nacho Cheese
This happened during yesterday’s game between the Red Sox and Rangers, and it is further proof that hot dogs should always be the food of choice at baseball games....
The Rangers Finally Found A Scoring Line
For the first half of this series, it was all about the Lightning’s “Triplets” line. Last night, as Ben Bishop was chased and Henrik Lundqvist withstood a barrage long enough to ensure this series would go seven, it was the Rangers’ turn to ice a line that was categorically dominant....
Derick Brassard Scores Hat Trick As Rangers Force Game 7
Derick Brassard made sure that the Rangers’ season didn’t end tonight. He scored three and assisted two of New York’s seven goals, as they blew out the Lightning 7-3 to force a Game 7, which will be played Friday at Madison Square Garden....
Lightning Shut Out Rangers In Game 5 To Take 3-2 Series Lead
Ben Bishop made 26 saves and the Tampa Bay Lightning rode their goalie to a 2-0 win over the New York Rangers on Sunday night. ...
Lightning Goalie Ben Bishop Takes Puck To The Testicles Before Game 5
Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop briefly left the ice before his biggest game of the season after absorbing a warmup shot right in the nuts. ...
Josh Hamilton, who was called up by the Texas Rangers after a 12-game stint in the minors, will start for the team against the Cleveland Indians tomorrow. He will play left field and likely bat fifth. “We’re going to open our arms and give him a great big hug and welcome him,” Rangers manager Jeff B...
The Lightning Won't Be Stopped
The Lightning appear to own Henrik Lundqvist. The Rangers goalie has now given up six goals in back-to-back games, and of six games this season in which he’s allowed five or more goals, the last four have come against Tampa Bay. This is not to suggest that the usually dependable Lundqvist has some p...
The Ben Bishop Save That Brought Some Sanity To The Lightning's Win
So rarely does a four-goal game have such an obviously pivotal moment as did last night’s 6-2 Lightning win to even their series with the Rangers at a game apiece. Rather than the laugher the score suggests, it was, for most of its runtime, a tense, thrilling game: maybe the fastest and most wide-op...
Lightning Score Rare 3-On-5 Shorthanded Goal
Hockey fans watching tonight’s Eastern Conference Final Game 2 got a very rare treat: a three-on-five double shorthanded goal by Tampa Bay’s Tyler Johnson, whose breakaway score came only after video replay overturned the on-ice “no goal” call....
Leroy Fer Rocket Goal Puts QPR Up 2-1
Disaster struck for relegation-fighting Newcastle as QPR’s Leroy Fer launched an intercontinental missile to put the Magpies down 2-1:...
The Rangers Are Built To Just Get By
Again it came down to one game, one goal, and again the Rangers escaped by the skin of their teeth. When Derek Stepan slotted home a traffic-stopped puck that landed right at his feet, the Rangers had won their sixth consecutive Game 7, all in the last four seasons, tying an NHL record...
What's Better Than Hitting A Walk-Off Grand Slam? Stealing One Away.
Rangers outfielder Leonys Martin came to the plate with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning during yesterday’s game against the Astros, and proceeded to whack what appeared to be a walk-off grand slam. Martin was probably feeling preeeeetty good about himself as he ran toward first b...
Adrian Beltre Gets Helmet Stolen, Scares Teammate Half To Death
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre hit a solo homer against the A’s yesterday. As usual, his baseball life partner, Elvis Andrus, was there to mess with him when he returned to the dugout. ...
