strange possibilities for Rangers

[orangecat]

1. just saw an article, Josh should be back tomorrow. and
2. Rangers finish with a 7 game homestand.

Now, here is the weirdness, Minnesota has lost 3 in a row, rangers still have a chance to catch them, for best or 2nd best record in the league, and

the Red Sox, IF they win tonight against the Yankees, they have a mathematical chance to catch the Yankees and win the wild-card.

The more likely of the two is Boston catching NY. They have four games with each other left.

If Minnesota gets caught resting starters, etc, and is mired in a 7-8 game losing streak, it's gonnna be hard to turn it on again, so that's where the other possibility comes in.



Then if Boston wins their remaining games, and NY loses 2, I think that gives Boston the wild card.

The Yankees have a magic number of ONE to clinch a playoff spot. It's done.

We are FIVE behind Minnesota with 7 to play. It's over. We are starting Feldman and Harden this week and prepping our staff for the Division series. Let's kick some Yankee/Ray ***.

Yeah, I think we get the Yanks and the strategy to start resting the starters this week, especially the key pitchers is wise.

this is the 1rst time i've been excited about the chance of going past the 1rst round...pitching and defense are the premiums in playoffs and we didn't have that going for us in 96/98/99...now, if cliff is 1005, we can matchup w/ anyone....just need some breaks and clutch hits.

Woo, that signature pic was one of my 5 top all time moments of a lifetime...didn't have a voice for 2 weeks after that hit and TD.
