Yeah - I swear there was more interest in the beach balls and the "wave" at Dodger Stadium on Sunday than the game.... Can't say TX is much better. They don't clap or stand here until the JumboTron tells them to... And don't get me started on the Dot Race.

Has Albert gone deep as an LAAofA yet? I've been on vaca and unplugged...

I was at the game in Houston when Craig Biggio hit his 3000th. (Not quite on the level of a no-no but very exciting all the same...) They passed out posters after and mine is still hanging in my office. We had to go to Houston to get my daughter a visa and decided to take in a game at the Juice Box. He was 3 hits away. My daughter said "Wouldn't it be great if he did it tonight?" I said " You know how hard it is to get 3 hits in one game?" He got 5 hits that night. Plus it was a comeback walk-off win. One of the most exciting games I've ever been to. Oh, and they beat the Rockies. Sorry Mook.

You're a lucky dog.

He didn't do much in the game we saw at Dodger Stadium but he sure LOOKS like a ball player. He made a very good catch against the center field wall. Later he threw from shallow center to home and it was a bit offline and not really even close. I'm not sure a perfect throw would have gotten the out. Anyway - good afternoon at Chavez Ravine. Place has changed a bit in the last 30 years but still has it's old charms. Good crowd - but most of them were only interested in the beach balls and shouting "MVP" every time Kemp came to the plate.

The Nats are bringing up Bryce Harper and he's making his MLB debut this weekend in LA. And I'm going to be at Dodger Stadium Sunday. Pretty exciting for this baseball rat. Full scouting report will follow next week. Is he worth the hype?

Uh oh. Delmon Young was just arrested in NYC for assault.... Too late to get Binge back?

I didn't say it wasn't justified. I was just saying that I was sorry to see him go. He's been a solid player for the Tigers for a long time. He changed position like I change socks - anything for the team. He was never a "tools" guy but he always seemed to play above his skill level - especially when it counted. Oh, and the Tigers will still have to pay the rest of his contract - whether he plays for them or not. Gotta love those MLB contracts!

I would never presume to try to "out misery" a Sox fan. New England has a long and glorious history of epic failures. However - the pain should be a bit tempered for you considering '04 and '07. You must admit - what happened with the Rangers in the 2011 WS was right up there with Bucky Bleeping Dent and Aaron Bleeping Boone. Not to mention Mookie Wilson. In fact - we will always refer to him as David Freaking Freeze.

All I know is that it takes losing to truly appreciate winning. Maybe that's why Yankee fans can be so annoying.

Big deal. The Rangers did that in the World Series.

You and the Red Sox, both.

The Tigers just released Brandon Inge. Love that guy....

Sometimes "it's early" is the only thing you can say.

Remember the offseason when Prince and Albert were both still available? I was SO excited that the Rangers would get ONE of those guys for first base. They currently have 2 homers. Combined. Mitch Moreland has 2 homers. And he's only a platoon 1st baseman. This game will kill ya.....

Can anyone stop the Rangers? Wow!

Red Sox fans: Please put down the gun and step away from the ledge. After all - it's just a game.

It's over! Perfect game number 20!

Phillip Humber perfect for the Chi Sox vs. Mariners. One more out to go!

Perfect game - 2 outs in the ninth. Turn on FOX now!

BTW: Feel free to return-in-kind when the Rangers go 6 and 20 in August and fall out of the race....

I know it's immature, Dylan, but I just had to share:

Oh, boy - do the RedSox stink right now.

Careful, now. I'm 49, too. I haven't had prune juice in MONTHS. I also can't get out of a soft chair without groaning. J.Moyer is amazing!

Ha! My hair is just starting to grow back after the 2011 WS. Baseball - a great game for bald men.
