While trade rumors continue to sizzle, Eddie Guardado
and C.J. Wilson contribute to a heartbreaking Texas Rangers
meltdown at U.S. Cellular Field.

ill-prepared Texas Rangers yet again with a quality start
- one that he was never supposed to make.
Dissecting the Texas Rangers' growing backstop conundrum; what

the Rangers?
The tie in the 2002 All-Star Game was
bad enough but if the 2008 All-Star Game had

"We're excited and ready to go," said newly
selected All-Star Ian Kinsler after a hard fought 11-10
win over the Baltimore Orioles. Kinsler, Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley will all make their first appearance in a Major League All-Star game joining teammate Michael Young who is headed to his fifth consecutive All-Star game. All four men were humble and honored...
