Texas Swing: Yu Impresses, Astros Score
The Rangers continue their hot start, finishing the week with a gem from Yu Darvish, and the Astros show us they aren't playing all that badly overall.
Texas Swing: Rangers Up, Astros Down
Our boys in Arlington have lost only one more game since last we spoke, going 5-1 to end the week at 9-2 overall, best in the majors along with the Dodgers. They swept the Twins in Minnesota and took a thunderous first game (18-3!!) from Boston on Tuesday night. They lead the AL West by 3.5 games over Seattle - wait...yeah, that's right - Seattle in the AL West. (Sorry, just had to check on what I was writing there!)
Texas Swing: The Young Season Begins
Greetings! Hope you are having a good first week of baseball. I know I am. It's weird for me to watch games knowing it has been six months since the last ones I watched. It doesn't feel like that long ago. Our Texas teams had a decent week in the major leagues. The Rangers opened the season by going 4-1 against the White Sox and Mariners, while the Astros notched their first winning record since 2009 by going 3-2 against the Rockies and the Braves.

Extra Extra: We Liked It Better On George Michael's Shirt
Gov. Perry wants you to "choose life" (license plates). Speaking of Perry, as of tomorrow afternoon he will be Texas' longest serving governor ever. And he can run again in 2010! This morning's fog blamed for at least 75 area accidents. Former Dallas mayor Ron Kirk to be named as US Trade Representative under Obama. More controversy in the Pedernales CoOp inquiry. Texas names its first Hispanic chief of the Texas Rangers; he's also the youngest ever. Caterpillar bringing a plant down to Seguin.
Genesis and Catastrophe
F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” ...(but) F. Scott never met our president.
