"WEEKEND BENDERS" REDBIRDS Edition....RANGERS go Inter league and head to BASEBALL Town USA to take on the #1 SHOW in the SHOW...the CARDS of St. LOUIS....the Gateway to the West Baseball #TEXvsSTL #InterLeagueBiz

The Texas Rangers can't relax as they took three of four at home from the AL West Leading Oakland Athletics. Now they head to the Gateway Arch to go West but for a Three game Set with the #1 Show in the Show the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards took three of four from the North Siders of Chi City and they are a machine right now running ion all cylinders. Just think they also lost their 2012 Closer Jason Motte to Tommy John Surgery and they haven't skipped a beat. Card's Skip Mike Matheny's Hiring was a grand slam after Skip Tony LaRussa finally retired. This should be a good series and quite entertaining.
