First, the self-pimping announcement. I make my debut on what’s bound to be a stellar TV career on the Rangers pre- and post-game shows on FOX Sports Southwest. The show begins at 1:30 with the delightful Dana Larson hosting and the ebullient Emily Jones as the studio anchor. Jolly John Rhadigan, providing interviews, rounds out the crew. I am currently scared beyond my wildest dreams.
And now to the homer pool: Remember to be eligible for the free stuff you have to give me the first Ranger to homer, the inning and men on base. Count is first tie breaker. Distance is second.
Your Rangers lineup vs. Royals RHP Kyle Davies: 2B Ian Kinsler, 3B Michael Young (only Ranger with a homer vs. Davies), CF Josh Hamilton, DH Andruw Jones, 1B Hank Blalock, RF Nelson Cruz, LF David Murphy, C Taylor Teagarden, SS Elvis Andrus and pitching for the Rangers … RHP Vicente Padilla.
Remember: There is diving allowed at our pool!
