Rangers' Elvis Andrus completely fakes out left fielder to steal a run image

Elvis Andrus, you sly little Ranger.

In the fifth inning of Sunday's game between the Rangers and Mariners, Texas catcher Bobby Wilson hit a shallow fly ball to left field with Andrus on third base. Mariners outfielder Stefen Romero prepared to fire a throw home, but Andrus jogged down the line as though he had no intention of tagging up. Romero lazily tossed a lob to the infield — bad decision.

Andrus scored as part of a three-run inning for Texas, and the Rangers went on to grab a 3-2 victory.

Hopefully Romero learned his lesson. Never let your guard down around someone as smooth as Elvis.
