"I drove through some sort of a cyclone at 11 o'clock. It was the most exciting driving experience I've had on the streets. I was in my truck, going sideways and stuff." - AP

In regards to  playing after yesterday's game that didn't end till the early a.m. Kinsler had this to say:

"We've dealt with a lot worse. Go home, get your sleep, and get ready for the game. There's nothing special to it. It doesn't wear you out that bad. If anything, playing a day game in the sun wears you out a little bit, but as far as last night, it didn't have too much of an effect." - AP

The Rangers will have today off as they rest up for a 3 game series starting Friday night at 7 o'clock against the Kansas City Royals.
