Can't recall the last time I recorded Rangers games -- '99, maybe? Nevertheless, even a few hours later Nelson Cruz's 10th-inning walk-off last night was a thrilling thing of beauty -- and towering enough to put the Rangers eight and a half up over both the A's and Angels, so...

Can't recall the last time I recorded Rangers games -- '99, maybe? Nevertheless, even a few hours later Nelson Cruz's 10th-inning walk-off last night was a thrilling thing of beauty -- and towering enough to put the Rangers eight and a half up over both the A's and Angels, so sad. Which I mention only to mention that from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. today, three of Your Texas Rangers will be manning Southwest Airlines gates at Love Field.

So if you're headed outta town and not flying out of Gates 3, 4 or 5 -- where Tommy "Big Game" Hunter, Darren Oliver and David Murphy will, per the release, "marshal in planes, make boarding announcements, take boarding passes, and welcoming departing and arriving passengers" -- you might want to cruise by and give 'em an attaboy. I mean, you do realize Hunter's unbeaten this season -- eight-and-freakin'-doughnut-hole. And: He's got a future in broadcasting.
