ARLINGTON (105.3 THE FAN) — Rangers interim manager Tim Bogar didn’t want the job this way. But now that he’s got it, he doesn’t want to let it slip away.

“That was one of the most difficult days of my life, going in there right after Wash had talked to the team,” said Bogar with Shan & RJ on 105.3 The Fan, describing the day that Ron Washington resigned.

“As much as I didn’t want to have this job the way I got it, we have a job to do and let’s get after it. [The players] have done nothing but that. It’s awesome.”
