Hamilton misses workout, but will be in Game 3 lineup

The Texas Rangers are feeling confident now that they're back home with a 1-1 split in the World Series. However, outfielder Josh Hamilton's groin injury remains a source of concern.

With the team's blessing, Hamilton skipped Friday's workout to get a little wholesale jerseys from chinabit extra rest. He's hitless in seven at-bats so far in the World Series, but manager Ron Washington insisted his star outfielder would be ready to go in Game 3. The Dallas Morning News notes that it's the second time in this year's playoffs that Hamilton has been allowed to skip a workout day.

Now that the series has shifted to the American League park, Hamiltoncheap nhl jerseys could also be used as a designated hitter. However that would likely keep lefty-swinging first-baseman Mitch Moreland out of the lineup. Moreland hit .266 with 15 homers against right-handed pitchers during the season -- the same number of home runs Hamilton hit against righties.

After sitting out the first two games in St. Louis, Moreland says he'snba jerseys cheap anxious to get back on the field. "BP (batting practice) has been going well. I felt good in there, made some adjustments," Moreland said yesterday. "I feel ready to go whenever he needs me."

Washington said he has already decided on his lineup -- NFL Jerseys Cheapand who will fill the DH, catcher and first base spots -- but he'll wait until today to announce it.

Craig had RBI singles as a pinch-hitter in both Game 1 and Game 2 in St. Louis -- and he figures to be La Russa's choice to fill the DH role in Texas.
