Anyone have a link so I can listen to the game? The Fan's website has Stephen A. Smith on there. Or am I going to have to pay 19.95 to listen? That is for the whole season, just hacks me off that it is on the radio but you have to pay to listen on net. Thanks MLB.

You had to pay in the past to listen when on KRLD. The Fan's Web site just kept playing commercials when I logged in.

Yes but last year, I didn't care and was fine listening to the syndicated talk show they had on KRLD. Right now I'm glad I didn't shell out the money to listen to the crap they are throwing down today. Nolan Ryan predicted 92 wins this season. If you can't beat Toronto on opening day at home, 92 wins might be hard to reach.

Good grief man, you do realize that there are 162 games in a season, right? That's like saying if you can't score on the opening drive against Oregon State, going undefeated might be hard to reach.

Bottom of the ninth...tie game....bases loaded...

Rangers win 5-4 on a Saltalamacchia single.

Actually fairly entertaining "crap." Perhaps you should reconsider?

Oh, easy, man, easy! Heckfire, the Rangers are already 1.0869565217% there!

Nolan may have understated this team's potential!


:rolleyes: :biggrin:

What they play 162 games? I had no idea. Really. Thanks for that bit of information. I had no idea they played so many games.

Texas was getting no hit into the 7th ... nice rally.


Honestly, I don't know if Ron Washington is a good manager or not, but I don't think his Rangers have ever quit on him, even in one game. He must be doing something right.

i am at work and had to spend the first few innings searching around.

Found it on justin.tv by just searching rangers. Sometimes the streams are pretty bootleg like todays where the guy had literally put his camera close to the TV and filmed the game and streamed it. Usually though they have a decent hook up to make it look good as it will go straight from the feed to the computer.

Glad to help those in need.

You're right that the team doesn't quit but he is a terrible manager. He did something in the 9th yesterday that nearly drove me crazy. Vlad legged out an infield hit which put runners at the corners with 1 out. Instead of pinch-running for Vlad, he leaves him at first where a double play ends the game. I believe the only player left on the bench was Murph. I thought surely he'd put him in to run for Vlad as he's a far superior runner. Nope. Wash leaves him in and thankfully Cruz's double was so softly hit that Vlad could go to 3rd on the hit. It wasn't until then that Wash puts Murph in to run at 3rd. What in the world was he waiting for? For Arias's spot to come up and then put in Murph to hit? If Cruz had grounded into a double play Wash would have been torched and I would have been there lighting the match.

On the on-line thing...I've always just looked up an out of market affiliate to listen to the game. MLB might have nixed this by now but ever since they've been doing to the pay thing I've always looked up the ESPN affiliate from Tyler. There have been some occassions where they didn't broadcast the game and I've had to look up the OKC or Amarillo affiliate. Once I had to resort to something like Hobbs, NM or something like that. The audio was bad.
