Let’s Go Rangers! Let’s Go Rangers!
C.J. Maximum Wage I couldn’t take McCarver/Buck duo anymore, so I clicked over to the MLB International broadcast for Game 5 of the World Series.

“Tommy The Swami” MLB Playoffs and NFL Picks
The Swami’s college football selections have gone the way of the Boston Braves – who are even more extinct than their “successors” the Atlanta Braves, and the Boston Red Sox.

Rangers Rotation Set for Playoffs
It’s tough to admit you’re wrong, but I am. Derek Holland is officially a “not ready for primetime pitcher” this season.

Remember Coach Carlisle’s actions after [...]
