Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers evidently wasn’t the only one who had a little something extra riding on a week 1 NFL game. Last year’s MVP and R&B group Boyz II Men had an arrangement that if the Packers lost to the 49ers Rodgers would have to wear a San Francisco jersey this [...]

ARLINGTON, Texas Ian Kinsler really, really wanted a ball hit to him in his first-ever appearance at third base.
Kinsler took over the hot corner when both Adrian Beltre and Mike Olt went out with injuries in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Cleveland.
A career second baseman, Kinsler played the last two innings at third but never got a chance to handle the ball.

Adams felt it Tuesday night in the eighth inning against Cleveland. He allowed two runs in 23 of an inning. He said the muscle tightened up on him during the outing and gradually got worse. He said it felt like he was shot...

For the 10th time this season, Adrian Beltre and Josh Hamilton homered in the same game Wednesday night. The Texas Rangers can only hope it's not the last chance they get. While the Rangers beat the Cleveland Indians 5-2 on Wednesday to guarantee they'd lose no ground on teams pursuing them in the AL West and AL home-field advantage races, they did lose three players...

Harrison had a perfect game through three innings, a no-hitter through four and was in complete command heading to the sixth. Harrison appeared to either fatigue...

ARLINGTON, Texas Texas Rangers closer Joe Nathan had to pay off a bet Tuesday before the game against Cleveland.
He wasn't happy about it either.
Nathan, a diehard New York Giants fan, shagged fly balls in the outfield dressed from head to toe like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Nathan lost a bet to fellow reliever Mike Adams, who is a Cowboys season-ticket holder...

Texas Rangers closer Joe Nathan can do a pretty good impersonation of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
The pitcher and New York Giants fan had no choice.
Nathan paid off a bet with fellow reliever and Cowboys fan Mike Adams by donning a full Romo uniform, including pads and football cleats, during the Rangers' batting practice before Tuesday night's game against Cleveland...

Wearing full Cowboys gear -- everything from the jersey to pads -- was Rangers reliever Joe Nathan, who reportedly lost a bet on the Giants-Cowboys game with Mike Adams. Adams, who has Cowboys season tickets, is a huge fan and even keeps a Cowboys helmet in his locker...

Texas Rangers reliever Joe Nathan dressed up as Tony Romo in uniform during batting practice at Tuesday night’s game against the Indians. I say “in uniform” because for Nathan to dress up as casual attire Tony Romo would have only meant flipping his hat backward and throwing on a Starter shirt. Anyway, the stunt came about as a result of a bet that Nathan, a Giants fan, made...
