I was out of town today, but i heard the boys swept the Tigers.

Rangers swept behind 2 Gallo dingers.

Death by Gallo, gotta love it

And that's how you come off IR.

Indeed!

Hey hey hey now! Drew Smyly is still sucking in the minors, livelyly.

But he is no longer on the 40 man.

Split 2 games with the Rays so far

Finished the month of June with a solid 18-11 record; next up is 4 big games at home vs the California Anaheim Angels.

.548 record is 7th in MLB, 5th in the AL. I feel like we have some people like Jesse Chavez coming through that were unexpected. Pretty solid first half of baseball.

Minor on the bump for the first game against the Angels.

Congrats to our Rangers All-Stars:

Hunter Pence - starting DH
Joey Gallo - reserve OF
Mike Minor - starting picher?

No game tonight vs. Angels in Arlington, pitcher Tyler Skaggs passed away this morning, wow, sad.

Sad for Tyler and his family. No cause of death has been released but no foul play is suspected.

Had tickets for tonight.

Losing streak sucks; need to break it on the 4th

Middle of the 5th, Rangers lead 6-2

Great!!!!!! I am so tired of losing.

Rougie Odor finally breaking out of a funk - he's got 2 HR tonight, Rangers lead 9-2 thru 7

Damn the twinkies

Victory Sweet Victory, going to the break on a good note.

Halfway thru the Team of Texas is proving their doubters wrong; way ahead of pre-season expectations.
