GO RANGERS !!! 67-61  2nd in AL West - .523, 4 games behind Houston Astros, 12.5 games behind the Kansas City Royals in 1st Place in the American League Our Home Record is 31-32 Our Road Record is 36-29 One stat that stands out to me is... we've scored 569 runs this season and allowed 594 runs, -25 difference. Every other team ahead of the Rangers has significantly more runs scored vs. runs allowed. Yankees +63, Royals +86, Astros +98, Blue Jays +186.  In order to make it to the Playoffs, much less win in the Playoffs, we have to start taking the lead and holding onto it!

We lost last night to the Seattle Mariners, with our Nelson Cruz, but have pulled out a big W today 11-3 in the 11th inning. ( see, we do have an Offense ) The Rangers scored 8 runs in the 11th inning... check this out... quite the opposite of the 21-5 loss I went to vs. the Yankees.  Last night was the second start of Cole Hamels , the pitcher we recently acquired from the Phillies . He hasn't had the best outings, but hopefully our guys and our bullpen can help him feel comfortable and our offense can keep giving him leads!  Nap is back!!! The Rangers season is somewhat random, yet subtle. Today was Napoli's first game back in Texas. Crazy thing is, we need a new catcher ( Chris Gimenez did grea
