Loading tweets...Friday night, TBS scored huge numbers for their coverage of the 2010 American League Championship Series between my Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees. TBS did particularly well in the Dallas market earning a 21.9 rating (13.9 rating in NYC), but I have a feeling that given the choice most Rangers would prefer to …

Why Baseball Needs the Rangers to Win
For nearly fifty years, the Texas Rangers have been mired in baseball futility. Dating back to the 1961 inception of the “new” Washington Senators, and continuing through their relocation to Arlington, the Rangers have pieced together only four post-season appearances (all in the expanded eight team format) and up until Tuesday’s win against Tampa Bay, …

The Continuing Story of Dugout Ron
The theater of the absurd surrounding the Ron Washington’s ride on the “white horse,” continues to evolve into one of the strangest, most wheels-off sports story, in the history of Dallas, which considering the Dallas Cowboys, says a lot. Randy Galloway, a favorite target of Geoausch.Com, wrote a piece for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this …

Ron Washington v. Josh Hamilton
As the local sports talk shows begin to go heavy into Ron Washington talk, some of Washington’s defenders are starting to emerge. One of the more popular arguments among Wash’s defenders is to bring up Josh Hamilton–the Texas Rangers’ star outfielder who has had his own well documented struggles with drug abuse in the past, …

What's the Deal With Ron Washington
The news is breaking that Texas Rangers’ manager Ron Washington has either admitted to using cocaine, tested positive for cocaine use or both, depending on what source you read. Either way, it appears evident that Ron Washington used cocaine while serving as the leader of this ball club. As a lifelong Rangers’ fan, I am …

Are Pro Athletes Too Friendly With One Another?
The New York Knicks defeated my beloved Mavericks 128-94 tonight. A 34-point loss is probably one of the more curious ways to end a 13 game winning, but after we handed the Knicks their worst loss ever at Madison Square Garden in January, I knew they would be looking for a revenge. Streaks are made …

Congratulations Andre Dawson!
I spent a lot of summer afternoons in the 80′s watching Chicago Cubs baseball on WGN. It didn’t take long for Andre Dawson to become my favorite baseball player. During that same time period, I began to amass a sizable baseball card collection and focused heavily on collecting any and all Dawson cards and memorabilia. …

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the New York Yankees
I hate(d) the Yankees, beginning with their corners, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez, two self absorbed cancers, linked by a common agent, Scott Boras, and committed only to him and their bank accounts. My hatred doesn’t stop there. This is an organization that has won 26 World Series, put over 30 players into the Baseball …

A Tale of Two Outfielders: Cruz v. Murphy
Last year, David Murphy emerged as a rising star in the Texas Rangers organization. The Josh Hamilton, “prodigal son” story overshadowed Murphy’s achievements for the majority of the season, but his stats don’t lie. Murphy hit .275, with 15 homers, 28 doubles and a .321 on-base percentage in his first full season in the majors. …
