<title>Kinsler Steals Bag And Game 2 For Rangers Posted By: icefire</title>
<description>Kinsler Steals Bag And Game 2 For Rangers When he reached first base in what looked like another loss, after the ball hed hit landed just over the shortstop and just in front of the outfielders, Ian Kinsler(notes) allowed himself a glance toward his dugout.

They wouldnt hold him now, would they? They couldnt, could they?

In almost all circumstances, Kinsler is left to his own guile on the basepaths. He is a base stealer, among the best in baseball. He goes when he believes he can go. Or should go.

Once in a while, though, the hand signal comes from the bench: Dont.

So, in Game 2 of the World Series, in the ninth inning, with nobody out and the St. Louis Cardinals closer on the mound and the leagues finest defensive catcher behind the plate, his duty was to look. He didnt want to know, but he had to look.

Nothing.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Football+shirts" rel="tag">Football shirts</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Retro+Football+Shirts" rel="tag">Retro Football Shirts</a>]]></description>

Fri, Apr 1 - Final Sat, Apr 2 - Final Sun, Apr 3 - Final

Despite winning a division title in 2010, there was a certain lament for theTwins as they played the entire second half of the season without Morneau andwere swept out of the division series for the second straight year after going94-68.

The 2006 AL MVP never fully recovered from being accidentally kneed in thehead by Blue Jays second baseman while sliding to break up adouble play in a July 7 game at Toronto, unable to be completely free ofpost-concussion symptoms. Morneau had been enjoying a stellar season, batting.345 with 18 homers and 56 RBIs in 81 games.

<title>Phillies-braves Preview  Posted By: nfl sports game</title>
<description>opened this season with one of the worst outings of his career,but appeared ready to move on almost immediately after the game was over.

Judging by his string of solid performances against the Atlanta Braves, thePhiladelphia Phillies left-hander could bounce back Sunday and record his firstwin at Turner Field in three seasons.
Fri, Apr 8 - Final Sat, Apr 9 - Final Sun, Apr 10 - Final

Hamels (0-1, 20.25 ERA) didnt make it out of the third inning in Tuesdays7-1 loss to the New York Mets - the Phillies first defeat this season - aftergiving up six runs, seven hits and two walks.

Its just something that happens, he said. You try to minimize it, but atthe same time, I take what I can from the game. Been there, done that. But atthe same time, it is frustrating. You dont want to have games like this,especially games to start the season.

Only once in his career has he recorded fewer outs while giving up moreruns, in an 11-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 24, 2006.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Football+shirts" rel="tag">Football shirts</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Wales+football+shirt" rel="tag">Wales football shirt</a>]]></description>

The Blue Jays scored four runs in the sixth to tie thegame, then rallied again after the Athletics took the lead in the top of the10th.

<title>Mariners-red Sox Preview  Posted By: icefire</title>
<description>The Boston Red Sox entered the season with one of the majors most toutedoffenses. They certainly werent planning on finishing April with fewer runsthan the Seattle Mariners.

To avoid that unlikely distinction, Boston must bounce back from aseries-opening defeat and beat the Mariners on Saturday night at Fenway Park.
Fri, Apr 29 - Final Sat, Apr 30 - Final Sun, May 1 - Final

The Red Sox (11-14) had the leagues second-most productive offense in 2010despite several key injuries, and they looked like a juggernaut after acquiringand in the offseason.

Seattle, meanwhile, had an extremely difficult time scoring last year,finishing with the fewest runs in a 162-game season since 1971.

But each team has 107 runs entering the months final game, and the Mariners(12-15) have plated 29 during a four-game winning streak.

Guys are getting on base and getting hits in key situations. Thats thebiggest thing, said first baseman who has 11 RBIs in his lastfive games. Its all about getting that hit with guys on base.

Boston has scored 15 runs while dropping three of four.<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Football+shirts" rel="tag">Football shirts</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Retro+Football+Shirts" rel="tag">Retro Football Shirts</a>]]></description>
