but they can only lose 104!

With the win on Thursday, only 103 losses are possible.

And with the win yesterday, they managed to reach 60 wins for the season!

Rangers lose season finale 6-0 and end year 60-102. Bad baseball from start to finish. I am not sanguine that next year will be any better.

Hopefully closer games, but I fear only moderately better.

^Viper, I think you're (unfortunately) correct. Rebuilding is a long-term process, and it's likely to take another two years for the top prospects at High A and AA to be ready to play at the Major-league level. Next season can be a little bit better - and if they get to 70-75 wins, I'd consider that an indicator in the right direction.
And the other indicator - will ownership open the checkbook for some key Free Agents next year? They might - but I'm thinking they would wait another year to give the prospects time to develop before they see what areas they need to spend money.
