Rangers Add a Puma to their Club
According to my exhaustive research on big cats native to the Americas, the puma can be found in the Western U.S., in parts of Florida, in Vermont, and all over Central and South America. Arizona is out west of course, and yet I had never seen a puma there – until this spring training that [...]

A Rangers Blueprint for Success
Santiago Calatrava’s Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge over the Trinity River in Dallas may endure for years to come as a stalwart achievement in local architecture, but Jon Daniels’ blueprint of the Texas Rangers could be remembered just as fondly and for just as long. The fact that Daniels has been the Rangers general manager for [...]

Time Out with Josh Hamilton
FOX Sports Southwest’s John Rhadigan sat down recently with Josh Hamilton to talk about the Texas Ranger’s historic four home run game on May 8 in Baltimore.

Roy Oswalt provided Ranger fans with a glimpse of what they’re getting in their latest pitching gunslinger when he sauntered from the mound to the dugout after his first start in late June for his new team.

Justin Beiber has Nothing On Rangers’ Kinsler
Ian Kinsler’s popularity with the Rangers’ female fans — particularly the teeny bopper crowd and under — is a well known fact around the Rangers clubhouse.

Ryan Setting the Table for a Boras Ass-Kicking
Nolan Ryan will happily kick some ass for those that deserve it – just ask Robin Ventura. The Rangers’ president may not fight much anymore but there is no doubt he is targeting a nightmare super agent’s personal ass, that would be the backside of Scott Boras. Boras is already on the ropes as Ryan [...]

Josh Hamilton laughed at the post-game question – then replied “Why even ask?!” The question was not if Josh Hamilton was the best player in baseball, but his response would have been appropriate if it had been. Rather, the question after Sunday Night’s clinic was if Hambone wanted to talk about his mammoth home run [...]

There’s nothing quite like Opening Day at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. There is almost a guarantee of good weather, fan anticipation is at its highest level (next to the World Series, of course) and a good portion of the working community in DFW takes a skip day to bask in the sunshine and enjoy some [...]
