The silver lining in the Texas Rangers' doubleheader Saturday against the Kansas City Royals is that neither team, nor the beat writers, had to leave Surprise Stadium.
However, a few writers were dead set against eating the Boston Market press meal for both games, so the between Cactus League tilts allowed for enough time to dine off campus.
The first game was the most newsworthy one of the day, and, in theory, the media could have played hooky from Game 2. Temptation, you're a son of a gun.
Alas, the potential for the unexpected kept us parked in the press box.
