My kid was born and I looked up to see Adolis rounding the bases on the TV in the room.  That's a good night

Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

Dave Raymond was just on the with Musers and said that the entire series with Houston is sold out this weekend. Probably been awhile that a (4-game, or any) series has been sold out. Doesn't hurt that it's Houston and over a long holiday weekend but that's still pretty impressive.

Looked it up to check, but was surprised to see the Yankees 4 games at Globe life field weren't sell outs. The first game was only 31K (40K capacity.) the other three were close enough that it probably were sell outs just not everyone showing up.

Most surprising player: Jonah Heim, Texas Rangers

If we told you before the season that the Rangers would have four of the 12 most valuable position players in the AL over the first half, you'd say, sure -- sounds like Marcus Semien, Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia are all doing what Texas hoped they would do. But who else is up there?

And indeed, Semien and Seager are the top two and Garcia has been excellent, ranking 12th in the AL by AXE. In a tie with Garcia, right behind Seager and Mike Trout, is Heim. Tell me you saw that one coming.

You didn't. No one did.

This is Heim's age-28 season, and before 2023, he had career totals of 776 plate appearances, a .214 batting average and 81 OPS+. His defensive metrics were good -- that's why the Rangers gave him 450 plate appearances in 2022 -- but his defense has gotten even better, and his bat has been a revelation this year (121 OPS+).

I wonder how the Dodgers series will do attendance wise. 

Dollar Dog Night, let's go!
