I mean they scored 15 runs in the last two innings. That is unheard of in pros! It's one of those deals that you only see once in a lifetime.

The Rangers will never be a successful team until they do something about the Texas heat, a pitcher killer. Case in point, Chris Young; couldn't hack it in Arlington, but look at him in San Diego. [Of course, it could be the magic-in-the-air of San Diego living that's responsible too. Yay!! LOL] “Does this tell us more about the Rangers’ bats or the Orioles’ pitching staff?”

I hope it stays relevant for many years to come. Yes - there were numbers to had, but even the most focused people on obtaining numbers couldn't help but feel a little of God's Spirit swirling in that place. Freedom ran rampant.

I am glad that they will asking and seeking and sometimes messing up and sometimes being so dead on that it is scary. No, it can’t be answered at 18 but it has to start somewhere.

All those soon-to-be adults in one place contemplating God and direction. Their parents have said goodbye and now those choices are on their shoulders...who am I? who is God? who am I to God? where from here? I love it! Mike, I know what you mean.

It's been 25 years since qb was 18, and my memory of the AFC's Tuesday-night devotionals is fuzzy at best. Instead of thinking about the direction of my life, though, I'm pretty sure I was thinking about getting the directions and the keys to those coeds' hearts across the way, over there, in the moonlight under that live oak... lol, qb Oh, so *that* is what they were doing.

They continue, as always, to be going, far, far away from what one could honestly say resembles a solid major league franchise. As a long-suffering Rangers fan, this week has been a great example of what it means to love the Rangers. First, they let Santana treat them like a bunch of B-league intramural players; then, they turn around and deliver a historical whipping to the O's. How about some consistency guys? This, to me, is scandalous! Off with their heads! No…the Rangers are NOT coming.

But when the West Texas wind blows out the candles, do 1,000 students curse the wind as they sit in darkness? I think not. The Orioles and their fans, on the other hand, may have been doing some mighty cursing as the Rangers poured it on! 30-3! Not since 1897! Yowsa!
