The Texas Rangers have arguably the best batting lineup in all of baseball. With the word “arguably” in that statement, it can’t be argued by any respectable baseball mind. Former Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson played against his old team for the first time over the weekend and had some kind words to say about his …

It’s finally here; the Texas Rangers host the Los Angeles Angels this weekend at the Ballpark in Arlington for a three-game series that’s sold out. The best part is the first game on Friday, in which Rangers rookie phenom Yu Darvish will take the mound to face the man he replaced in Texas – new …
