It's Time! <---(Rangers' season mantra)

Hopefully, Hamilton will be a-okay after the weekend series against the Angels.

Go Rangers!  I hope they're still playing when I arrive in the Metroplex in a couple of weeks.

At least I don't have to hear the Red Sux Nation whine about their season, considering they're still stuck firmly to Tom Brady's jock.

Sadly, when January rolls around it'll be DOUBLY worse having to listen to them bitch about the Red Sox AND the Patriots.

It's Reds time, my friends.  Votto leading the way!!

I will be rooting for the Rangers in the American League, though.  I love Nolan Ryan and what he's done with the franchise.  I'm saying Reds in five games over the Rangers.

Price threw a lot of pitches in the 1st as well.  Almost all fastballs too.  Wear the young lefty out, Rangers!

Cruz just went yard on Price. Rangers up 3.

ETA: Molina went yard too and Rangers got out of the bottom of the 4th. Rangers up 4.

A no-no for Halladay.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bbn_nlds_reds_phillies

I'm so pleased that I bought the MLB radio package yesterday, otherwise I couldn't have heard the Rangers AND the Halladay no-hitter.  The best $2.49 I've spent EVAH!

Yes
I remember when he was with Montreal. He did not speak much English and played a Gameboy all the time they said. I think he is one of the best players. He used to be able to swing at anything and hit it out of the park. How is he this year? I am thinking not playing much, injuries?

He is doing great now that he DH's pretty much exclusively. He played about 10 games or so in RF during the regular season with Cruz being on the DL so much.

Watching Phillies-Reds now. I hope their embarrassment over being no-hit the other night has faded.

Lead off homer by Phillips sure helps! They are up 2-0 now and I will say they win 3-1.
