It's time for my annual (poorly parodied) Rangers Christmas carol. This year's inspiration is "We Need a Little Christmas." Enjoy. Or roll your eyes. Whichever works for you. Push play on this video (the "Glee" version was the closest to my lyrics) and read along ... We Need Some Rangers...

Ever since the bidding ended on Dec. 14, fans have been waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting to find out who won the rights to negotiate with Japanese-Iranian pitching phenomenon Yu Darvish. Yep. Just the RIGHTS TO NEGOTIATE. It's strange how Japan does baseball business, but...

Dear C.J. Wilson, First of all, thank you for the 16 wins in the 2011 season. You might not have had great success in October, but I will not overlook the effort you gave to make sure the Rangers were indeed playing in October for a second straight year. Also,...

According to MLB.com, Bud Selig is a hero. When he became commissioner in 1992, Major League Baseball was a $1 billion a year business. Baseball had revenues of over $7 billion in 2011. The sport is at an all time high for popularity. But are the changes that have been...

It's been said time and time again, but it can't be said enough. Jon Daniels is a ninja. I feel like I've been pretty good at monitoring the MLB trade rumors. But tonight, out of nowhere, T.R. Sullivan tweeted that the Rangers had signed Joe Nathan. What? Where did that...

Bud Selig may make the owners very rich, but he sure has screwed everything else up! He has successfully ruined the playoffs. Here is what that buffoon has done to America's favorite pastime: 1. Rain Games: Remember when the tarp went over the field at the first sight of rain?...

Prior to the start of the 2011 baseball season, I made a few predictions. It's time to see how many came true. #1. Chase Utley will start fewer than one-third of the games (54-games) Wrong: Quite the oppositte. Utley played in 103-games, missing just 59, ironically, roughly one-third of the...

I appear to be in a minority among my Rangers fan friends. And not just because I don't live in Texas. I'm in the minority because I don't view the 2011 season as a disappointment. Sure, the last two games (or really just Game 6) of the World Series were...

As Game 6 of the Series drew to what appeared to be its close, I got very excited. It wasn't so much that I was cheering against my friend and his team but I had predicted the Rangers would win and I like to be right. Beyond that, though, there...

It's hard to know what to say after a World Series like that. For the second year in a row, the Rangers failed to bring the big trophy back to Arlington. As I watched last night, I had a sense of peace. Far more than I had during Game 6....
