Rangers off to good start against Verlander.  Kinsler double and Hamilton sac fly  makes it 1-0.  Now in 2nd inning.

Ranger offense finally gets going!  Man!  Did Andrus get from 2nd to home quick?

[quote name="HubTx" post="1079905" timestamp="1318354071"] Ok, I'll get it started lol.... We've played 6 weeks so far, who is THE BEST player in Southeast Texas???? Don't just give me a name, tell me why!!!! [/quote]  Best player meaning, who will star in college, or who will pile up the best stats in high school this year?

Vidor rolls.

Beating Verlander is big!  The rest of the Detroit staff is beatable.

Game time.  Get em Titans

Beltre just hit homer #3 on the day.    Rangers up 4-2 in the 8th.

saturday morning just around the corner.  I want an axis deer this weekend.

It would suck to be a Red Sox fan right about now.  That was horrible. 

I like Texas chances.  With longoria happy and healthy, Tampa is much improved, but I think Texas will score enough runs to pull it out.

High of 89, low of 58 in Junction Saturday.  I can live with that!

[/quote] That would be a limb.  Have you forgotten Katy?  By the way.  How did we rack up so many points?  Was it just a strong running game or was our backup QB able to throw?  Any stats yet for this one?

[quote name="Le Sgt Rey (French)" post="1064261" timestamp="1316832154"] Clack to spearman...Td wb [/quote]  Do we have a controversy brewing?

The Hill IS for real!

Ilike it.  We need more push and penetration from the D Line.

I thought Central had the better running game and better size. I like Central by 10.    Of course, I didn't get to see Green at QB
