Ian Kinsler and the best Second Baseman in baseball
Posted on 14 Apr 2012 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The man with the shaggy moptop, the stinging bat and the natural flair defensively at second base recently received a five-year $75 million extension from the Texas Rangers. Ian Kinsler is one of two second baseman in American League history that has gone 30-30 in a season — Alfonso Soriano is the other. Defensively, he's among the best at the position in the league. But Kinsler'...

The story of Game One was the left arm of Zach Britton, who dealt his lethal sinker on the Rangers for 7 2/3 innings to get ...

It’s Time Rangers, Texas finally off to the ALCS
Posted on 12 Oct 2010 by George Kouvalis.
They had to use history to make history but that's exactly what the Texas Rangers did in the 2010 ALDS to finally get the monkey off their backs and win their first playoff series in franchise history. Not one series in baseball history has seen the road team win every game of that series until this one. History be damned the Rangers did that and also won their first playoff series in the p...

Losses like last night are always hard to stomach but the Rangers appear to be headed in the right direction. Matt Harrison looked average to below average once again, and the back of rotation needs some help. Scott Feldman is back in the rotation because of an injury to Kris Benson, which seems like the direction the team should have gone day one. Kinsler's bat remains on fire and you ...

Much better
Posted on 16 Apr 2009 by Brian Hutton.
I turn to Comedy Central for my weekly dose of South Park and the Rangers' offense explodes. Ian Kinsler hits for the cycle and sets several club records. Nelson Cruz just missed his second grand slam of the game in the 8th inning, driving 2 runs in with a double instead. Just about everyone gets involved in the offense with the final of19-4 as the Rangers blow out the Orioles. The win ...

I turn it over to Comedy Central for my weekly South Park screening and the Rangers put up 10 runs. Nice to see the bats wake up after a few off games. Kinsler hits for the cycle and Nelson Cruz just missed his second Grand Slam, driving in 2 runs with a double in the 8th. Just about everyone got in on the action as the Rangers win 19-6. The Rangers have an off-day Thursday before opening a ...
