For the 2nd straight year, the Texas Rangers have made it to the World Series. Unlike last year, where unusually strong starting pitching and Cliff Lee’s dominating performance spurred the Rangers to postseason success, this year, the Rangers’ shut-down bullpen and monstrous bats, especially the bat of Nelson Cruz, have led them to another World Series.  Their opponent this...
After a 15-5 drumming of the Detroit Tigers on October 15, 2011, the Texas Rangers completed their defense of the American League title and returned to the World Series. Riding the most impressive display of power in playoff history, the Rangers allowed Nelson Cruz to carry their team to Fall Classic where they will face the St. Louis Cardinals....

A&M is, pending a lawsuit, headed to the SEC, Nebraska and Colorado have already left, and the two Oklahoma schools seem to be flirting with the Pac-12. While many have assumed that Texas...
On Saturday, September 3, the Oregon Ducks met LSU in the most highly anticipated college football matchup of Week 1. The teams traveled to Texas to play in the Death Star, the gargantuan structure that the god-like Jerry Jones created from nothing so that all may bask in his grandeur. Arriving four hours early, the purple and gold clad...
