RANGER PITCHER COUNT

We all know the Rangers like to drink beer. But just how much have they drank so far this season. According to receipts (except one) gathered at Gio's Bar and Grill, the Rangers have drank a total of 77 pitchers thus far. At their current pace, the Rangers are set to down 231 pitchers of sweet nectar by seasons end. Let's hope the boys can step up their game and eclipse the 300 mark.

6/6/10 DoubleHeader POSTPONED

Today's DoubleHeader vs. Browns has been POSTPONED due to unplayable field conditions.  A makeup date has not been announced.

Game 7 & 8 Preview : Rangers @ Browns DH - 6/6/10

The Rangers (4-2) and Browns (5-1) will square off in a doubleheader at Walther Lutheran High School in Maywood on Sunday, June 6.  First pitch is slated for 9:30 am.

The Rangers come into the game fresh off an 8-0 thrashing of the Vikings last Thursday night at Winnemac Park.  The Browns come into Sunday's action riding a 2 game winning streak, having defeated the 1st place Park Ridge Marlins last week at Grosche Field.  The Rangers slipped to 3rd place in the Washington Division with todays Athletics' sweep of the Hounds at Winnemac Park.  The Browns are currently in the top spot in the Daley Division.


The Rangers have matched their best start ever through 6 games.  The feat matches the 4-2 start in 2005, 2007 and 2009.  The Rangers made the playoffs in each of those years; including a trip to the CMBA championship in 2007.  The Rangers didn't get their 4th win until June 28 in 2008.

Walther Weakness The Rangers have struggled mightily at Walther Lutheran High School.  In 8 previous games at the Maywood venue, the Rangers have managed only 1 win.  That win came on June 21, 2009 against these Browns in a 10-5 victory.

What Can Brown Do For You In the lifetime series, the Rangers are 7-16 (.304) versus the Browns, but are 4-2 over the last 6.  The Rangers split the season series with the Browns in 2009.  The Rangers met the Browns in both of their first two playoff appearances (2004 and 2005).  The Browns won those series 2-0 and 2-1, respectively.

Double Your Pleasure  Sunday's twinbill will be the 8th doubleheader that the Rangers will have played in.  Over the previous 14 games, the Rangers are 8-6 in doubleheader action.  2009 marked the first and only time that the Rangers played in 2 doubleheaders in the same season; they went 3-1 in those games against the Aviators and Vikings.

Game 6 Preview : Vikings @ Rangers - 6/3/10

The Rangers will host the Vikings (1-4) in an Harold Washington Divisional clash on Wednesday, June 3rd at 5:50 pm at Winnemac Park on Chicago's North Side.

The Chicago Rangers come into the game riding a 2 game losing streak with a season record of 3-2.  In their last action, the Rangers lost a squeaker 1-0 to the Athletics (3-3) at Winnemac Park on 5/30.  Through Sundays games, the Rangers are in 2nd place behind the Park Ridge Marlins (6-0).


Viking Lore  The Rangers beat the Vikings earlier this year on Opening Day by a score of 8-4.  Over their 9 year history, the Rangers have played the Vikings more than any other opponent.  The Rangers hold a slight series edge in the historic 27 game series with a record of 14-13 (.519)

1 Is The Loneliest Number The Rangers' 1-0 loss to the Athletics marks only the 10th time in Ranger history that they have been shut out and only the 2nd time that they have been blanked 1-0.  The first and only other 1-0 shutout came way back on July 12, 2003 against the Cubs at Taft High School.  The Rangers have won only once by a score of 1-0 in a game against the Electrons back on July 22, 2006 at Winnemac Park.

Be Like Mike  Ranger rookie Mike Folan becomes the 5th "Mike" to play for the Chicago Rangers.  He joins LaRocco,  Huang, Wysopal and Kamradt as past and present Ranger Mikes.   The 5 Ranger "Mikes" join the 5 Ranger "Matts" (Swary, Jura, Brooks, Hall and Brannon) as the most popular Ranger first name.  Coincidentally, Folan becomes the first ever Ranger with a last name starting with the letter "F".
