AJ, you watching the opening game tonight?
Another reason why the kids, they shouldn't be running around in the cold weather: Ian Kinsler is sick. He is out of the starting lineup with a fever. Ramon Vazquez will play second base and be the Rangers' first hitter of the 2008 season.
-- as per Evan Grant of the DMN.
Good gawd, it's starting already.
I still say the worst this thing gets the better.

Let's go M's! Wish I could be there!...
I wouldn't want to be there ... its fricken coooold!
But its raining up in Dallas area, so if it were here in TX instead of Seattle, the game likely would have been postponed. And that would piss me off so bad, I have been looking forward to the season getting started for awhile.
We're having tornado warnings up here in the Frisco/Carrollton/Plano area with a pretty strong storm going right through Arlington and heading right for me in Mesquite. No doubt the game would probably be postponed or at least seriously delayed if played here. Looks like my night will be watching the game hoping not to get blown away.
Now it looks like Ian is going to play after all, according to Jamey Newberg.
Wow, I jsut read that it was raining, I had no idea the conditions were so bad. Sorry to hear that and I hope you are safe.
If you are near Frisco, do you go to the RoughRiders games often? I try to make as many games when they come here to play the Missions.
Yeah, I was planning on it. I get off work in about 15 min. Hey, didn't those blonde twins you met last weekend say they loved watching the Rangers? Give them a call we can meet up at yours or my place. Call and let ne know
It is a little cold, but the weather is clear. It actually will be pretty nice for the series. Excellent weather for pitchers.
Excellent weather for a Michael Young home run

1-0 Rangers in the bottom of the 5th. Looks like a pitcher's duel in a pitcher's park.
Rangers should honestly be up by 3 or 4 runs with Bedard's lack of control.
Nice call.Excellent weather for a Michael Young home run
I've actually never been to a Rough Riders game, when I go to games I go to Rangers games. Arlington is actually about the same distance from me here in Mesquite as Frisco, although I did see a concert at that Dr. Pepper Park and it seems pretty nice for minor league ball.
Rangers started off well enough but not cashing in on the runners in scoring position killed them. Nice seeing them being pretty disciplined at the plate, but they're gonna have to turn those good counts into runs.
dammit this team SUCKS!
0-162 is on its way.
Just kidding
It's a knee-jerk reaction, I know, but I'm thinking our bullpen is going to be the weakest link this season.
Atleast they didnt lose 10-2.
this game seems like a carven copy of last season.
Are you ing kidding me?
Last season, Bedard K'd 15 Rangers in a single game. Today, he got chased after 5 innings because he had already thrown 30 pitches after one and the Rangers were patient as . Last year, MY had 9 home runs all season. He already has 1 after one game. And when was the last time Millwood threw five innings of shutout ball ... or even made it to the fifth inning?
A loss is a loss and I am not going to play the rah-rah role but ... one game against a guy who woulda won Cy Young last year had he not been shut down early, and you are proclaiming them a failure? This team is obviously quite different from last year's. Give them a ing chance.
not having Teixeira around has definitely lightened this team up and has them playing Ron Washington's style of ball. For the first game at least. I think this team is in good shape.
Same as last year so far. They need better pitching.
Bedard struggled during spring training so I wouldn't get excited about chasing him after 5 innings. Especially when you only scored 1 run off him.
Whew, Ranger fans....how GOOD does it feel to see Brad Wilkerson NOT in a Rangers uniform.
btw...Murphy is looking strong tonight, as does the pitching.
