Two Ranger signings and an ankle sprain.

The Rangers have made two signings. It's been announced Joaquin Benoit signed a two-year extension to remain with the Rangers. It's also being reported Rudy Jaramillo has also signed a two-year extension to remain the hitting coach. Big, smart moves by the Rangers.

By the way, my right ankle is killing me right now. Gates and I were outside throwing the football around as usual when he lobbed one over my head. I turned to run for it and when I had my hands outreached, I stepped in a small hole in the ground. All of the weight of my body was on my ankle as it wrenched inward. As it happened I could hear a massive crunch as if bones were being shattered, but needless to say it was my ligaments being ripped apart. I hadn't experienced a pain like that in a very long time and as I lay on the ground writhing in pain I felt the warmth all around my ankle. I got up and with a little help from Gates made my way to our second floor apartment. I laid down and took off my shoe and sock and to my surprise there was nothing wrong with my ankle. Then I looked on the outer half of my foot and there was a huge ball protruding from the side of my ankle. I didn't know whether it meant my ankle was broken or not but just to be safe we made our way to the ER. I was processed in about an hour and have a pair of crutches now, which is making it very difficult to do the simplest tasks. I have to make two or three trips to the living room and/or my bedroom when I need to get a pillow, drink or my phone just because I can't carry it all and walk with my crutches at the same time. Hopefully in a couple of days I'll be good as new.

By the way, I didn't make the catch.
