Report: Yu Darvish Is Officially For Sale
Rangers ace Yu Darvish is 30 years old, will be a free agent after this season, and is pitching at the high level he always does when healthy for a team that’s lost more than it’s won, all of which has made him a pretty obvious candidate to get moved before this month’s trade deadline. Now, accordin...
Orioles Score Six Runs Before Recording Their First Out
The Rangers’ gamble on Tyson Ross—who missed all of last year with shoulder inflammation and entered this year recovering from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome—hasn’t paid off too well as of yet. It really, really, really didn’t pay off tonight....
The Rangers Lost A Game Because Of The Punk-Ass Sun
With the scored tied at three in the bottom of the ninth, Rangers reliever Jason Grilli was in a bases-loaded, two-out jam. If he could get Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain out, the Rangers would escape to extra innings and keep their hopes at winning the game alive. Grilli got Cain to hit a catchable...
Here's 20 Seconds Of Profoundly Terrible Soccer
Remember this 1993 Premier League match between Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City? Me neither, but an Italian magazine broke it down and deemed a portion of it as the worst 20 seconds of soccer ever....

Adrian Beltre Humbled By Incredibly Slow Pitch
Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, whose habit of falling to one knee while batting is second only to his absolute hatred of having his head touched in a ranking of Adrian Beltre quirks, did not expect a 61-mph pitch from Red Sox reliever Fernando Abad in Wednesday’s game. The result was a powerfu...
Cleveland Falls Behind 9-2, Erupts For 15-9 Comeback Win
The Rangers gave Cole Hamels a very, very comfortable cushion of run support in his return from a two-month stint on the disabled list. Elvis Andrus hit two home runs, Adrian Beltre and Joey Gallo each added another, and Texas had a 9-2 lead after the top of the fourth inning....
Astros Pillage Rangers Bullpen, Romp Through Nine-Run Inning
The Rangers started the sixth inning with Jeremy Jeffress on the mound. Two home runs, a single and a hit by pitch later, he was replaced by Tony Barnette. Two walks and two singles later, he was replaced by Dillon Gee. It was only then, after allowing five runs, that the Rangers finally managed to ...
Rougned Odor Fall Down Go Boom
The Rangers have just four hits and a single run against the hapless Blue Jays this afternoon, and an illustration of their offensive struggles can be seen in Rougned Odor’s sixth-inning at-bat—in which the Texas infielder swings so hard he falls down trying to get out of the batter’s box....
Red Sox Strike Out 20 After Four-K Ninth Inning, Tie Major-League Record
Behind perhaps the least marquee starter in their rotation in Drew Pomeranz, the Red Sox struck out 20 batters tonight to tie a major-league record....
The Rangers Are Rolling
Two weeks ago, the Texas Rangers were dead-last in the AL West. (Yeah, behind even Oakland.) Now, they’re in second place—still solidly behind the best-in-baseball Houston Astros, but holding onto a ten-game winning streak and the fifth-best record in the American League scarcely a fortnight after t...
The Complete Guide To Understanding Darts<em></em>
Although none of us will ever be in the same supreme physical shape as professional darts players, we can still watch them with envy. Why aren’t they aiming for the bullseye? Is that a referee or the town crier? Is anyone in the crowd driving home?...
Joey Gallo Foul Ball Bonks Fan In Head
Joey Gallo’s known for crushing it, and the Rangers slugger nearly tallied up another dinger with this bomb that landed just wide of the foul pole—and directly into one fan’s noggin. ...
The Sabres Will "Host" The Rangers In The NYC Winter Classic For A Specific Tax Purpose
The NHL announced Tuesday that the Sabres and Rangers will play the 2018 NHL Winter Classic at the Mets’ stadium in Queens. Despite the fact that the Sabres reside hundreds of miles away in Buffalo while the Rangers are only a borough away, the Sabres will be the “home team.” The NHL said that the d...
Erik Karlsson Put The Senators On His Back
If you want a measure of how valuable defenseman Erik Karlsson is to the Ottawa Senators, all you need to do is look at how much they use him....
Ottawa Takes 3-2 Series Lead On Kyle Turris Overtime Goal<em></em>
Jimmy Vesey’s heroics did not hold up as Ottawa tied up the Rangers with 90 seconds remaining in regulation and then scored 6:28 into overtime as Kyle Turris scored his third career playoff OT goal to give the Senators a 5-4 win and a 3-2 series lead....
Rangers Go Ahead On Wild Shot Initially Not Ruled A Goal
The Rangers took a 4-3 third-period lead over the Senators in dramatic fashion, with a Jimmy Vesey goal very nearly robbed by Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson. Though initially not ruled a goal, a review showed that Anderson didn’t get the puck in his glove until it had already crossed the goal line:...
The Rangers Are Too Much And Too Fast For The "Kanata Wall"
The Senators are not a fast team, or at least that’s not how they want to play. They are a team designed to win close, low-scoring games, and they’ve generally done so with an effective defense designed by coach Guy Boucher to funnel everything to the sides of the ice. But the Rangers are barging st...
In Praise Of A Perfect Helper
The Rangers’s 4-1 pummeling of the Senators in Game 3 was maybe the most expected thing in the world. New York is almost certainly the better team to begin with in this series, and has played like the better team for long stretches of it. Here’s a stat: Still down 2-1 after last night’s win, the Ran...
The Rangers And Astros Had A Little Beef And A Little Brawl
Ahead of an intra-Texas series between the first-place Astros and the last-place Rangers, Astros third baseman Alex Bregman had this to say Sunday night:...
