ARLINGTON — The Rangers have only one more day to enjoy one of the best months in club history.

ARLINGTON — Rangers owner Tom Hicks said Thursday morning he is willing to be flexible to what percentage of the ballclub he is willing to retain in any pending sale.

ARLINGTON — Rangers rookie pitcher Derek Holland came out determined to challenge the New York Yankees on Wednesday.
