Rangers vs. Black Sox Preview


The Rangers (3-2) take on the North Side Black Sox (2-1) at Winnemac Park on Thursday, May 31. Both teams are riding a 1 game winning streak coming into Thursday's game.


Historically, the Rangers are 3-7 against the Sox club. Before 2004, when the Black Sox called themselves the White Sox, the Rangers were 0-4 against them. Since their name change in 2004, the Rangers and Black Sox are even at 3 games a piece.


In 2 games in 2006, the two clubs split the series. The Rangers won game 2 of the 2006 season series 17-3 on July 15. Eric Morrissey was the hero of that game going 3-4 with 3 RBIs at the plate to complement his 5 inning 4 hit performance on the hill. Morrissey recorded 9 strikeouts on his way to the victory.


Tomorrow's game will be the 150th game in Rangers history.


Neither club has announced their starting pitchers.
