Fell in love with the Texas Rangers stadium. Air conditioned! Bliss! And the standing-only section was amazing. Preferred them to our seats. Texas won two games over Yankees but lost the third night with Yankees avoiding the sweep with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning. #TexasRangers

I have VERY IMPORTANT news about the Supreme Court of Oklahoma:

What a game.
