Is the President still a Rangers' fan?

[txroadkill]

If he is he’s the only one left!

I listened to the game in and out of the car all evening.

Kinda blew it off when down 0-3, enjoyed the lead when it came.

Local talking heads were laughing about beating the 26-7 lashing that Baltimore gave the stRangers years ago. No one expected anything close to this.

Hope that they saved a few runs for the nightcap.

[The Lumster]

Typical Rangers - now watch em score 4 runs total in the next six games.

Global Warming. Isn’t every 100 year old record that’s broken the result of GW?

[Intolerant in NJ]

At least it takes the spotlight off of the Phillies’ 15-3 loss to the Dodgers......

[SkyDancer]

Reads like a football score .... the Hawks got beat by Green Bay 48 to 13 ..... but then there’s seven points per score (counting field goal) which would have been equivalent to about 6 to 1 which doesn’t sound all that bad .....

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Now there’s a ball game!...no time to take a wizz!

[dfwgator]

The Rangers are slipping, they’ve only scored 9 runs in the nightcap.

[barker]

Just glad they didn’t do this when they played my Royals.

For Royals fans, times they are a changin’. The signs are all there and it’s going to be exciting to be a Royals fan.

[dfwgator]

What is the record for most runs by one team in a doubleheader? The Rangers have 39, so that’s got to be real close.

I was present as an eager 9 year old at one of the most amazing games ever, when the Reds beat the Phillies 19-17:

This is the feather in Angelo’s cap. 10 straight years the O’s havent been able to play even .500 ball after meddling; spending millions on mediocrities, now culminating in this humiliation against an awful Rangers team. If he had any dignity whatsoever he’d take the elevator to the top of Alka Seltzer Clock and take a swan dive head first into the Chesapeake Bay Inner Harbor... A totally pathetic owner and team.

[Norman Bates]

I just got back from both games...

MELTDOWN!!!

[Brimack34]

The funny thing is Texas did all the scoring in 4 out of 9 innings.

[One_who_hopes_to_know]

My boss had two tickets to a Rangers game. He left them on the dashboard of his car which was in a parking garage.

When he returned ...

You guessed it ... the windshield was broken ...

And alongside his two Ranger tickets ... someone left two more.
