What the Rangers signing Roy Oswalt means: Darvish must be ace

I could get into a bit of analysis on the last few seasons Roy Oswalt pitched, and predict how that will translate into the 34-year-old making his 2012 debut in a few weeks wearing a Texas Rangers uniform, but it's more simple than that.

To me, the Rangers signing Oswalt this week told me one thing: It's Yu Darvish's time to take the reigns as the ace of this team.

Sunday night win over Angels completes memorable trip

Arlington, Texas - Apparently, the only way seven of my closest family members and friends would be able to sit together at Sunday night's Rangers-Angels game on ESPN was to sit high up in the stands. The game was sold out with an announced attendance of 46,669.

We just didn't know how far up in the stands we'd be until my dad showed his ticket to the usher for assistance.

"Alllll the way up to the top of the stairs," she said in a nice tone.

Four-ever: Josh Hamilton makes history with 4 HRs

I had every intention of Tuesday, May 8, being a normal night.

After I left work, I changed clothes, exercised for an hour, came home, showered, cooked some tilapia, and sat down to watch the Rangers take on the Orioles on mlb.tv streamed through AppleTV. Nothing too crazy going on here in Kansas City.

Turns out, it was one of the craziest baseball nights I have ever witnessed.
