Hit me!

The Ranger can beat the Yankees. If I keep saying it, it can come true.

With two exceptions, the players need to continue their hitting from the ALDS with Tampa.





Elvis Andrus hit .333 (8/24) with 1 double, 2 runs scored, 1 RBI and 3 steals.



Nelson Cruz hit .400 (8/20) with 2 doubles, 3 homers, 5 runs scored, 3 RBIs and 1 steal.

Vladimir Guerrero hit .263 (5/19) with 1 double, 2 runs scored and 1 RBI.

Ian Kinsler hit .444 (8/18) with 3 homers, 5 runs scored and 6 RBIs. Ian was Crazy Good.

Bengie Molina hit .357 (5/14) with 1 homer, 1 run scored, two RBIs and a steal. We won't expect anymore steals, but the hits are nice.

If the Rangers want to beat the Yankees these next two guys have to step up.

Michael Young only hit .150 (3/20) with 1 homer, 1 run scored and 3 RBIs.

Josh Hamilton only hit .111 (2/18) with 1 run scored, 1 RBI and one steal. His defense was great, but we need the bat to come back.

Josh and Michael also struck out 12 times in 38 at-bats.

Here's hoping the Hamilton and Young join the hit parade and the other guys stay hot.

You know, at the plate.

Go Rangers!
