Today,The ByrdMan is Killing The New York Yankees Articles we're glad that to acknowledge one of the most underrated sluggers in major league basbeall. Marlon Byrd - AKA "The ByrdMan" - is known throughout all of the Las Vegas Sportsbooks as an outstanding outfielder who always seems to come up BIG for the Texas Rangers.

This week, Marlon Byrd has been ON FIRE! One day after hitting a walk-off grand slam to beat the Yankees in Game 1, he hit went 3 for 4 with two stolen bases in an 8-6 Texas victory in Game 2.

Needless to say, the wiseguys have been all over the Texas Rangers and the OVER during this week's series with the New York Yankees. Afterall, the Texas Rangers own the New York Yankees this year with a 4-1 series advantage; and, the suffocating heat in Arlington Ballpark always seems to suck the life out of visiting teams around the 7th or 8th inning. 

But today, the Yankees clearly have the advantage in a pitching matchup between a 22 year old rookie and a 31 year old veteran.

Former Rangers pitcher Sidney Ponson (6-2 W-L, 4.23 ERA) takes the mound for the Yankees in a nationally televised game which will be broadcast on ESPN at 8:00 PM EST. Ponson pitched well against the Angels in a 1-0 loss; and, he will be looking to duplicate that effort against his former team, the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers will send former Triple AAA standout Tommie Hunter to the mound who is still looking for his first major league win. His first outing was a forgetful one. He allowed six runs in five innings pitched against Toronto; but, the Rangers found a way to win scoring three times in the 9th inning to defeat Toronto

With Sidney Ponson and the Yankees intent on winning this game, another come from behind victory appears very unlikely.

Unraveling the Enigma of Matter Waves

Unraveling the Enigma of Matter Waves

In the quest to understand the fundamental nature of our universe, the concept of matter waves stands as a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. This article delves into the historical experiments that sought to measure the elusive properties of electrons, and the philosophical and scientific implications of those findings. We'll explore the intricacies of Robert Millikan's oil drop experiment, the charge-to-mass ratio, and the broader context of mass-energy equivalence in the realm of subatomic particles.
Does The Atom Really Exist?

Does The Atom Really Exist?

According to recorded history, the atom concept was developed by the ancient Greeks and the mathematician Democritus. The Greeks are credited with the discovery of the atom and the atom concept. Essentially, an atom is an indivisible component of matter. Or ... it can be thought of as matter in its simplest form. Since it is a component of matter ... you would naturally think that it has mass. This is logical and intelligent reasoning.

Who or What Created The Universe?

I would like to thank Kristen Herde for her contribution to this post...I was going to respond to your two earlier questions regarding the Big Bang. I don't subscribe to the theory ... I have a different one...it's a little bit ahead of it's time .. so people probably won't take it seriously until years later. As far as the zones of infinite density and how did they get there ... they got there using an extrapolation technique (if that makes sense)... Scientists / Mathematicians just extrapolated backwards and figured that all the matter in the universe may have come from one point. They have no idea where it came from.
