So Trump is celebrating the head of the world's largest Communist Party, while trying to shut down the First Amendment rights of the free press. What a great week for America.

Looks like the Rangers scorebug hasn’t been resuscitated yet.

It feels like the Rangers have been hanging around, two games back since the last time it was under 100º.

The Dallas Cowboys just signed Von Miller. He'll be playing Ancient Linebacker.

So the Rangers twitch in their sleep?

My biggest complaint with BZZR is the lack of video controls to rewind, stop and FForward the video stream. When a batted ball hits the jungle gym overhead in Tampa, I want to check it out.

Wouldn't it be cool if a giant flash mob showed up one evening and a couple of hundred people dumped boxes of tea in the Reflecting Pool? Just a thought. It's not like storming the Capitol or anything.

As a guy who grew up with this music, I don't know which is weirder - that soccer fans sing Country Roads or that baseball fans sing Sweet Caroline. I can't wait for hockey fans to discover Afternoon Delight.

Three weeks ago I spent a large amount of money for good seats to tonight’s Ranger game and I feel like I mistakenly ordered a case of turnip popsicles.

This is the first Nascar race I can recall in 20 years that doesn’t have the name Busch on the pylon.

Apparently, all the Rangers need do to score more at the Globe is seal the roof shut and pump out the oxygen until its about the same as Coors Field.

So, we need to address the blown save stat, eh?

Did Seager undergo a full-body MRI after that check by Foscue? We’re a month into the season and he hasn’t been on the injury list yet.

I blame Ted Turner for my baseball addiction. I paid for my own cable hookup as a kid so I could watch Skip, Ernie and Pete do WTBS Braves games. RIP Cap’n Ted

I am decently tired of this leave 10 on base and give up a half dozen or more game plan.

Is the audio on @victoryplustv.bsky.social Stars broadcast out of whack for anyone else? It so irks me that I'm paying for this technical fubar broadcast. Off to see it on the network.

Is it required that Myers take every shot he gets from the point?

A month into the season the Rangers are merely bobbing around .500. Which might be enough to keep up in the most meh division in baseball. Half of the games have been against the AL West. It'll be interesting in May when they start playing the rest of the League.

Perhaps change uniforms at the half inning?

A reminder to all Texas immigrants, Californians, Yankees... Today, April 21, is revered as San Jacinto Day. 190 years ago, Sam Houston and Texican forces caught Mexican emperor Santa Anna napping and freed the Republic to build Buccees and 15,000-seat high school football stadiums.

I've been driving for decades. Today, for the first time I can remember, I saw $4 gas in Texas. $4.09 off I-20 at the Big Horn Travel Center Shell station, exit 425. Fittingly, some folks might remember it from a Landman episode where Cooper gets gas.

What's the Draft Kings line on whether we're having chicken out TACOs after 8:00 eastern tonight? Or, since Iran has publicly ended negotiations, does that mean that Armageddon will be televised?

I recently heard a pod about ballpark sponsor names and how the Dodgers were finally giving in with the Uniglo deal. Leaving just a few - like Fenway and Wrigley. I'm like - uhm - guys - Wrigley was literally the first stadium with naming rights.

The Rangers should rightly play God Bless America at the stretch, because when they play like this and are only down 2, the good Lord is definitely involved.

I don’t keep up with rap music, so when I saw the headlines, I thought Pooh Shiesty was what was wrong with the Artemis toilet.

Trump going to the Supreme Court on April Fools Day is a joke that writes itself.

The administration asking for $200 billion for a war that's gonna "be over in a couple of weeks" vs. trying to cut NASA from getting $25 billion for a year's worth of work to go to the Moon, run a space station, and monitor planetary ecosystems, seems poorly prioritized.

That whole “beware the Ides of March” was for people like me - not a hoops fan and waiting eternity for Opening Day.

Team USA did a good job of showing the difference between baseball as a business and a children's game played for joy. Congrats to the joyous winners.

I am so tired of everything and cornflakes now being "AI Enabled" Stop it. I don't like wasting my time redoing the stuff you think you're redoing to make "better." It's not. It's boring, average and derivative.

In an anecdotal poll, I’m seeing a lot of Republicans looking to consider the Dem primary. Lopsided turnout numbers may terrify the GOP come March.

@lindaholmes.bsky.social Yes, Die Hard has a higher body count than the typical Hallmark movie, but they both end with the happy couple hugging it out to a Christmas tune, and isn't that what the season is all about?

When I was with the Rams a million years ago, there was a guy in the press box providing live stats as the game progressed. That person should be an official scorer like baseball. Tagging a receiver bobble that results in a INT as an error on the guy who missed the catch and not the QB.
