I'm such a sucker for baseball t-shirts, especially fun and unique ones like this!If you're a Rangers baseball fan you've probably already seen and hopefully bought this shirt, if you haven't, you're following the wrong people on twitter!!

Last Friday I went to my first Rangers game of the season with my best friend, Cassidy. Armed with our cameras, zoom lenses, and giveaway Texas Tech Ranger caps in right field, we spent some innings just snapping away. I really didn't think I had taken that many photos... until I uploaded them Saturday morning and saw almost 800 photos on my memory card.It was so worth it though.

Exactly one week ago, I was sitting in the same spot that I'm sitting in now. Exactly one week ago, I was writing this post. Happy Ranger moments. Exactly one week later, not so much. Not sure I appreciate the juxtaposition happening but it's happening either way.The Rangers were eliminated in one of the worst ways possible.I thought the baseball gods were being nice to us for once by letting Bush strikeout Bautista. It had that feeling of "wow it might not end too terribly after all."

The Texas Rangers won the American League West Division for the second year in a row and the fourth time in the last seven seasons. This 2016 team is special and has probably been the most fun to watch.

Much like April’s review, August is starting with an apology. So I have to admit, I wasn’t on the Lucroy (much deserved) bandwagon. *hides behind laptop* And much like with the signing of Desmond, JD has once again made me look pretty stupid.

Finally went to my first Ranger game of the 2016 season, yeah I know finally. I’m gonna be real with y’all for a minute here: I don’t always prefer going to games. Cue the gasps and shocks of horror.

In a move I kind of totally saw coming, John Daniels has proven me wrong once again. Leaving me saying, "What the hell do I know?" You win JD. You win.2016 JD vs Me Standings:JD: 2 Me: 0 (but let's be honest, it feels like -47) If you don't know what I'm talking about, take a look at this post and this post.

A little more than 24 hours left until the trade deadline and there has been a lot of talk and very little action when it comes to the Rangers and trades. And I'm not mad about it.The asking price for starting pitching is way too high. The minute a team starts asking for Mazara, I'm out. In my eyes, if the Rangers trade Mazara right now, that makes them sellers.

I'm not panicking just yet.I'm leaning towards concern if anything.The Rangers have had a lousy July. And that's definitely cause for concern but I'm not ready to hit the panic button just yet.If this was happening after the trade deadline, continues beyond them getting a starting pitcher at the trade deadline, or happened in September, I'd be hitting that panic button so hard.

If you follow me on twitter, you know I really love gifs. A lot.They're just way more fun than emojis or pictures. Easier to watch than a long video. Easier to express how you're feeling on Twitter than words. (Especially using gifs from the Office!) How can you not love gifs??

Two words: Trade. Deadline.(Also the All Star Break but whatever.)Actually the deadline is August 1st this year...Screw it. July is still the best month of baseball.(Well October baseball is actually pretty great too...) Ok. July is the best month of baseball outside the actual playing of baseball.Obviously this is all my opinion, but I love July.

We are officially half way through the season, another month has gone, so it's time for the monthly review.First off, can I self promote a previous blog post on another blog post or is that redundant? I'll do it anyway. As an overview of the 2016 Rangers, they're scary good.

Being a sports fan is hard. You try to be positive about everything your team does and just enjoy it. But there are definitely times when you yell at your TV out of frustration, shake your head, and think to yourself, "I'm not angry, just disappointed".When you’re a sports fan, you also notice all the different types of sports fans.

So far this season, I've recapped the Rangers at the end of each month. However, they're playing way too good to wait until July 1st to talk about them again.I think I've made it extremely obvious I love the Rangers. In general, they're just fun to watch. Even in 2014 when they lost 95 games, I actually enjoyed watching every game. Mostly for their antics than the actual statistical playing of baseball.

Let's talk about the All Star Game ballot, shall we? The team with the best record in the American League doesn't have one player in the top 3 for their position. As of writing this post (June 12th) Elvis is currently sitting at number 5 for shortstops. Other than that, the Rangers don't have anyone close to being a starter. No Beltre. No Desmond. No Odor. No Mazara. Rangers don't even have an outfielder in the top 15.

Another month of Rangers baseball in the books. And boy was it an interesting one. Yes, that punch will be talked about even though it's been talked about too death, I still have a lot to say about it. So here goes my thoughts and opinions about the Rangers May.
