Rangers In the World Series








After what seems like a lifetime of disappointments and broken hearts, a new crop of fired up baseball players have won the hearts of the Rangers faithful by carrying the team into the world series for the first time in the teams history.
What a game and what a series and to defeat the Yankees with Alex Rodriguez going down swinging just takes the cake.

Playoff Win














































































The Texas Rangers took another early lead in game two of the American League Championship Series. After watching the lead in game one disappear in the eighth inning, no one was comfortable especially when Darren Oliver came in as a reliever. He came thru and the team notched their first ever home playoff win in ten tries.

This is Mr. Diva


My dog Kimo is getting a little big headed these days. He went to a fashion shoot with me and was gonna hang out in the car, maybe march around and chase some cows. Who knew that he would walk himself right into being a character model.
As skittish as he is around people I really did not think he would stand next to a strange girl in high dollar fashion and look comfortable. There he was, sitting on the toolbox of a pickup truck and looking like he owned it. He even snuck past the model after a quick wade in the creek, I was just glad he didn't get his dirty paws on the expensive cloths.

Let Down












A lot of excitement at the American League Championship Series, an electric atmosphere, a Josh Hamilton homer and it all looked wonderful for the Texas Rangers. Taking a 5 to 0 lead over theNew York Yankees early in the game.
In the eighth inning however, the wheels came flying off and the Yankees won 6 to 5, and that hissing you hear is the Rangers fans balloon deflating.

Scary Baseball



The Tampa Bay Rays came to Arlington, I thought the Texas Rangers were going to do some celebrating but instead they faced some really scary situations. Batters really watching the fielders, and the Rays bats came to life in two separate games. One last chance to break the playoff curse.
