#mlb +6
BOOOOOOO! It was a loud, soul-cleansing, turn-the-anger-up-to-11 boo. A boo that seemed to echo to Grand Prairie. If you listened, you could detect small hiccups, little stop-and-starts in which Rangers fans caught their collective breath. It sounded like a car that refuses to start: BOOOOOOOoooo … BOOOOOOOoooo … BOOOOOOOoooo. Bryan Curtis(via Grantland)

AL: Rangers-Orioles. "We went through the looking glass on the Orioles' season a long time ago. Nothing about this Baltimore team has made sense all year long, so why should it start now?" (Rany Jazayerli, Grantland)

NL: Braves-Cardinals. "OK, fine … Braves, only because Medlen has been about as unhittable on an inning-per-inning basis as any starter in the game this year."
(Jonah Keri, Grantland) Two good previews of MLB's first-ever Wild Card playoff game.
MLB: "The Playoffs Have Started" on 3/10/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#mlb +5
[The Yankees] have to win. Will Soriano be available? How quick of a hook do you have with Kuroda? The Rangers have to win. They throw Ryan Dempster against A.J. Griffin. The A's have to win. Will Melvin use Cook and Balfour for a fifth consecutive day? The Orioles know they have to win, just to have hope. The playoffs have definitely started. David Schoenfield(via ESPN.com) , heading into "Game 162" (2012 Edition) and a thrilling final set of games out of the AL West and East.

MORE: TIME FOR RANGERS TO PANIC? "Mostly [the Rangers-A's series] is a reminder that pennants aren't won on paper. The Rangers had eight All-Stars this season; the A's just one. The Rangers signed Roy Oswalt and traded for Dempster. The A's called up more rookies. The A's will start one of those rookies on Wednesday in Griffin. But when the Rangers dig in against him, they won't see a rookie: They'll see a rival." (Schoenfield, ESPN.com)

His reputation has certainly improved the past couple of years and his career numbers could eventually make his [Hall of Fame] case a hot debate. At the very least, we can at least start appreciating the excellence of one of the game's most underrated players of the past decade. David Schoenfield(via ESPN.com)
Saturday Read: S.I. On Josh Hamilton on 16/6/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#josh hamilton +6
It keeps getting bigger, doesn't it? This whole Josh Hamilton ... what? Situation? Dynamic? Phenomenon? Since he finally arrived in the big leagues five years ago he has been a package of such outsized talent and heartbreak, such staggering risk and reward, that the usual terms hardly did it justice. So what to call it now? SL Price(via Sports Illustrated) , from last week's SI cover story (just now released online), adding: "This latest iteration has expanded the whole Josh Hamilton thing to near-mythic proportions. Even the most hard-bitten baseball man, one who made his name striking out thousands and never, ever, backing off from a challenge, can't help but perform a purse-lipped version of genuflection.
MLB: Rangers Look Unstoppable on 15/5/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#mlb +5
With Hamilton at the peak of his game, the Rangers, too, have the look of a team that may be historic. Texas is destroying American League competition. This could be the best team since the 1998 Yankees. It has no weakness. Tom Verducci(via SI.com)
