Crazy. Just tuned into UNT football on TXA21 and...

DENTON (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – A Texas Rangers TV announcer off the air since his rambling comments during a June game will broadcast two college football matchups.

The University of North Texas said Wednesday that Dave Barnett will do play-by-play television coverage Saturday against Texas Southern and Nov. 10 vs. South Alabama.

Barnett is a 1979 graduate of North Texas, known then as North Texas State.

During the broadcast on Fox Sports Southwest Barnett said, Go ahead run… is at 5th on what Adams is insisting on calling a botched robbery. What actually happened was his henchmen took piece literally out of…”

Barnett’s role as the Rangers play-by-play announcer is being filled by Steve Busby for the remainder of the season. Barnett previously announced he was taking an indefinite leave of absence due to medical reasons.

Rangers spokesman John Blake says Barnett informed the club about the UNT commitment and the baseball team has no issues with it.

Barnett did not immediately respond to a message Wednesday.

No sense in watching this one anymore. Shields won't give up more than four.

I haven't been able to watch many games this season, does Oswalt always suck?

[BERT]

Anyone else tired of watching Kinsler yet as I am?

[SC457A]

Oh no... Roy's forearm is sore. I hope its DL for rest of the year for him.

This game sucks. NHRA races on.

Anyone else tired of watching Kinsler yet as I am?

Anyone else tired of watching Kinsler yet as I am?

Fuckin' aye! His head is NOT in the game.

[Mustangfreak]

Off to a good start already!

[Ted]

The magic number is officially at 19 as of right now. I hate to cheer on the Angels but a nice come from behind win tonight would be good.

Why did Olt take over for Beltre????

[Geor!]

Shoulder injury of some sort.


Adrian Beltre exits with left shoulder strain

Adrian Beltre has left tonight's game with a left shoulder strain.

It appeared that Beltre initially came down with the injury in the second inning when he made a diving stop on a sharp grounder by Cleveland Indians' designated hitter Russ Canzler in the second inning.

Beltre played through the fourth, and the television broadcast showed Beltre attempting to talk manager Ron Washington into letting him stay in the game.

Beltre went 1 for 1 with a two-run homer in the first inning, and drew a walk in the third inning.

Mike Olt replaced Beltre at third base.

Doesn't sound serious. Probably taking him out for precautions.

They must think it might be somewhat serious since it's now being reported that he'll have an MRI performed.
