I'm Going To Arlington!


I am heading to the Texas Rangers Baseball Game tonight against the division winning Los Angeles Angels.

The pitching matchup will be fantastic. Matt Harrison pitching for the Rangers against Jon Garland, who is pitching for the Angels.

Here's The scoop From Rangers.com:

TEX: LHP Matt Harrison (8-3, 5.06 ERA)
Harrison's shutout in his last start was the first by a Rangers rookie in five years. It took Harrison seven Major League starts to strike out more batters than he walked in a game, but since Aug. 16, he has 27 strikeouts and nine walks. Harrison earned his first career victory against the Angels in his debut, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk in seven innings.

LAA: RHP Jon Garland (14-8, 4.47 ERA)
Garland worked around another poor first inning to throw a quality start Saturday against the Mariners, yielding just two first-inning runs on six hits in six frames. Garland has given up nine first-inning runs on 14 hits in his last four starts, but he has not allowed a run in any other inning of his last two outings. Garland retired nine straight batters at one point on Saturday, and he did not give up a hit after the first until Ichiro Suzuki tripled in the fifth.

I will be sitting in the bleacher seats with a glove trying to catch one of these:

I will also try to get some autographs as well.

Every three years, I get the chance to head to a Baseball game. It's been three years since I've been to the Ballpark In Arligton.

Here's a summary of the Baseball games I have been to:
August 14, 2002: Cubs Vs Astros: Wrigley Field: Chicago
Astros Beat Cubs 4-3

August 31, 2002 Rangers Vs White Sox: Rangers Ballpark: Arlington
Rangers Beat White Sox 9-2. I ran the bases when the game was over.

I won't Be Blogging this weekend, but I will let all of you know how it went!
