The Texas Rangers did what it would take to win the game last night they just wound up short. Despite Ian Kinslers two homeruns in the game, his first multihomer game the Rangers could not hold on for the win over the Chicago Cubs. The Rangers despite almost winning the game as a team combined for 13 strikeouts over the nine innings and just didn't look like the Rangers of old. On top of that the Rangers got bad news that Mark Teixeira may not be off the DL until after the all star break. Even more than that Sammy Sosa who was trying to make history at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington could got put the bat on the ball and he struck out 3 times in four at bats...it was UGLY. Sammy Sosa in an interview said that he does NOT swing like a girl but the truth of the matter is Don't say that when you strikeout 3 times in a game and don't even get on base. Don't get me wrong I like the fact that Sammy Sosa is in Texas but he needs to get the 600 hrs so that the media will get off his back and let this team do what they do best...PLAY BALL WITH NO DISTRACTIONS.

Ok I have received this question and will answer it again: Will Mark Teixeira be traded? Ok guys I am going to say this and say this one last time it is going to happen why because the Rangers want good pitching in return and the latest I read the Rangers were scouting the NY Yankees for some of their talent while the Yankees were doing likewise this last weekend in Cincinatti. The Rangers are in a situation now were they know that they don't want to lose TEX but they know that in the longrun it is going to get them something good in return for them and the Yankees are in the market for a first baseman the thing of the matter is the Rangers are scouting the young and talented already ML 21 yr old pitcher Carl Pavano...but he is on the DL. Now will the Rangers trade TEX we really don't know but all signs point to yes from what I can see and have read lately.

Be sure to watch the Rangers tonight as they take on the Chicago Cubs again and Sammy looks for number 600. The Rangers will send out the young and talented from what we know Kam Loe and he will be countered with the Cubs Jason Marquis. GOOD LUCK RANGERS AND GET ER DONE.
