Rangers Baseball Hats, Jerseys and Merchandise
In 2006 the Texas
Rangers finished the season at 80-82.The Texas Rangers are hoping
the addition of free agent all star Sammy
Sosa will help the Rangers to make a playoff run. For a playoff
run to happen for the 2007 Texas Rangers, they will need career years
from Sammy Sosa, Kevin Millwood, Michael Young, Kenny Lofton, and
a healthy Eric Gagne. It is possible for the Rangers to win the division,
but they will have to make it past the Oakland
A's and Angels. The wild card most likely
will not come from the AL West division in 2007. The AL East and AL
Central division are better baseball teams on paper in 2007.

Information
The team
is named after the name of Texas' law enforcement agency
The Rangers
have never appeared in the LCS or the World Series - They have
been the division champions four times in 1994, 1996, 1998 and
1999 - Their best season was in 199 when they won 95 games and
their worst season was in 1973 when they only won 57.
Their first
manager was the legendary Ted Williams who managed in Arlington
for only one year.
The Rangers
have gone through eighteen managers in 32 years.
Nolan Ryan
is their only retire number besides Jackie Robinson (his number
was retired for the league). When the Washington Senators moved
to Minnesota in 1961 and became known as the Twins, the city of
Washington was granted another franchise, which was also known
as the Senators. That team remained in Washington until 1971 when
it moved to Texas and became known as the Texas Rangers. The idea
of having a major league baseball team in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area had been around since 1962, but the American League team
owners denied Charley Finley to move his Kansas City A's to Dallas.
Along with them came manager Ted Williams, who became legendary
for his .406 batting average in one season and two time winner
of the triple crown. The Rangers are one of the two longest running
AL franchises still waiting to win their first pennant along with
the Anaheim Angels. They have, however, won four American League
West division titles all in the 1990s. The Rangers have enjoyed
a lot a talent over the years including Nolan Ryan, Gaylord Perry
and Ferguson Jenkins. Recently the the Rangers finished just three
games behind in the AL West division with 89 wins thanks to the
help from all-stars such as Michael Young Alfonso Soriano and
pitcher Kenny Rogers.
<p>The Rangers addressed their season-long first base issue Thursday by trading for Florida's Jorge Cantu and calling up Mitch Moreland from Class AAA Oklahoma City.</p>
<p>The Rangers agreed to send minor league pitchers Evan Reed and Omar Poveda to Florida for Cantu. Texas also received approximately $2.2 million in cash to offset the increase to the team's payroll. Reed projects as a reliever. Poveda has a high ceiling, but he has missed the entire season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.</p>
<p>Rangers first basemen, mostly Chris Davis and the recently traded Justin Smoak, entered Thursday with a composite .197 batting average this season. The only team in history to have its first base delegation hit under .200 was the 1991 Oakland A's (.199).</p> <p>"We were looking for the...
Roy Oswalt granted his own wish: He's now part of a pennant race. Miguel Tejada, Jorge Cantu and Matt Capps joined the mix, too. The trade wheel of fortune kept spinning Thursday with veterans-for-prospects deals that typically dot the stretch run. More swaps were expected before Saturday's 4 p.m.

Even after a little juggling within the core of their lineup, the Texas Rangers were hardly surprised to see those guys string together hits and drive in runs. The surprises came from the rest of the lineup. David Murphy hit a 431-foot home run, Taylor Teagardan hit his first homer of the season and Mitch Moreland had two hits in his major league debut, helping the Rangers beat the Oakland...

Jorge Cantu saw the light blinking on his cell phone when he got to his locker and knew it might finally be time. Then, he read the text message from his agent: He was headed for Texas. The AL West-leading Rangers added another bat for the playoff push, acquiring Cantu from the Florida Marlins on Thursday for two minor league pitchers.
For the second time this season the Texas Rangers are going to have to play without All-Star second baseman Ian Kinsler. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a strained left groin. The move came a day after Kinsler sat out a 3-1 loss to the Oakland A's. He started the season on the disabled list and missed the first 22 games with a high ankle sprain sustained in spring...
SAN FRANCISCO - People familiar with the situation say the Florida Marlins are working to finalize a trade that would send third baseman Jorge Cantu to the Texas Rangers.
Alex Rodriguez filed an objection to aspects of next week's auction of the Texas Rangers, saying he and other former players may not get the millions owed them. Rodriguez is due $24.9 million in deferred compensation six years after he was traded to the New York Yankees, and he tops the list of the unsecured creditors in the Rangers' bankruptcy case.
Trevor Cahill seems to save his best for the Texas Rangers. Cahill allowed two hits over eight innings, Kurt Suzuki homered and drove in two runs and the Oakland Athletics beat the Rangers 3-1 on Wednesday night. Cahill improved to 5-1 for his career against the Rangers, 2-0 with a 0.87 ERA in three starts at Rangers Ballpark, one of the toughest stadiums in the majors for pitchers.
Nelson Cruz made Cliff Lee feel better about a no-decision. Cruz's two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th lifted Texas to a 3-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night after Lee struck out a career-high 13 and scattered five hits in a nine-inning effort that failed to produce his 100th career win.
It was Tommy Hunter's turn, and he gave the Texas Rangers another solid pitching performance. Hunter worked into the seventh inning to remain unbeaten, Josh Hamilton drove in three runs and the Rangers edged the Los Angeles Angels 6-4 on Sunday night. AL West-leading Texas won three of four in the series to build a seven-game lead over the second-place Angels, who got a boost earlier in the day...
