Heroes - Josh Hamilton, Clay Council to Star Tonight
I very rarely stray from hockey talk on this blog, but I'm making an exception for this article. There is a local hero doing the right thing tonight and it deserves recognition. Several years ago Josh Hamilton made a promise to his American Legion batting practice coach back while he was still in...

Last Josh Hamilton book giveaway post
So, thanks to all who participated in the "guess what number I'm thinking of" contest yesterday... I thought about various numbers that had Rangers meaning, or something else like "42," but feared those would be too obvious. So I decided to nerd it up and picked "pi to the e." Which is...
More Josh Hamilton book giveaway
Okay, I've decided to give books to Ed Coffin and Mateo_Leg, based on the responses to yesterday's request. We've got one more book left to give away. And this is how we are going to do it... I'm thinking of a number. Whoever guesses closest, wins. Guesses close at 10 p.m. Don't guess unless...
More Josh Hamilton book giveaway
Okay, yesterday we did a post about the Josh Hamilton book, and I invited folks to do a post about why they should get a free copy of it from me (well, from the publisher, but you know what I mean)... I've decided that the winner is Future Pants, although there were many quality choices. I'm sure...
Giving away the new Josh Hamilton book
So, the publishers of the new Josh Hamilton book have sent me a free copy to read and review. I haven't done that yet (for those who are interested, I'm currently reading Anathem). However, I plan to in the next week or so, and to post a review. The publishers also, though, have offered to make...
Last day of the season stuff
The Rangers will finish up either 79-83 or 80-82 this year. Either result is better than what I think most folks expected this year. And it would be nice if the Rangers could sweep Anaheim to finish up the season. Evan Grant says that, finally, Scott Feldman is out of the rotation, after a solid...
Monday a.m. things
18 games left -- 9 at home, 9 on the road. Rough outing for Brandon McCarthy, after three pretty good starts. McCarthy wasn't terrible, but he didn't have great command, and the BoSox made him pay. McCarthy says he didn't have a solid day, stuff-wise, and needs to do a better job in those...
Sunday a.m. things
Texas is 4 1/2 games up on Oakland now, with 19 to go (20 to go for the A's). They need to go 10-9 to hit the 80-82 record I predicted before the season, and 11-8 to finish at .500. As I think everyone knows since finishing first in the West in 1999, they've yet to finish higher than 3rd, and...
Neyer on Beasticon I making history
Rob Neyer talks about last night's intentional walk to Hamilton: Gee, I thought this would have been bigger news. It's not every day -- or for that matter every decade -- that a batter is intentionally walked with the bases loaded. By my count, it's now happened five times: Nap Lajoie in 1901, Mel...
