Time for the big boy playoffs… The Rangers hosting the Yankees tonight is just going to be fantastic, with that atmosphere in Arlington and that lineup. As long as @str8edgeracer can keep the Yanks in the ballpark too…

Yankees vs. Rangers

Game 1

Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers – 18.25 seconds (Season average: 19.61 seconds): Huge start to the game for Josh Hamilton and Texas. Gotta love those quick Hamilton trots. Happy to see it happen on the big stage.

Robinson Cano, New York Yankees – 24.34 seconds (Season average: 22.11 seconds): The Yankees finally break through with a seventh-inning shot down the line. It’s 5-1 now. They still have a long way to go.

About Larry Granillo

Larry Granillo has been writing Wezen Ball since 2008 and has dealt with such touchy topics as Charlie Brown's baseball stats and Ferris Bueller's day off. In 2010, he got the bright idea to time every home run trot in baseball; he has been missing ever since.
