GO RANGERS!!

By mark rogers
August 6, 2010

This is an unprecedented time in Texas Rangers baseball history.

It's August. We have a 10 game (TEN GAME) lead on the Angels.

We're 18 games over .500.

We have the best player in the league playing CF and batting third.

We acquired the best pitcher in the league earlier this summer.

We, yes WE, have a legitimate shot at winning the division and possibly playing in the ALCS.

This is exciting. I'll tell you what else is kind of weird - the fact that Cowboys training camp has started and I still care about the Rangers.

That hasn't happened since 1999...11 years ago.

Usually it's Rangers Time in the summer when nothing else is on, then in early August the Cowboys start practicing, college and high school games start, and the Rangers aren't given much more than a box score glance every morning.

Not this year. I'm actually staying up late to watch the West Coast games.

And I know this is a football blog, but the MLB playoffs are designed to favor a 3-man rotation, not a 5-man rotation.

I like Cliff Lee, CJ Wilson, and Tommy Hunter better than a lot of 3-man rotations in the AL right now.

Our set up men are on a ridiculous run (Darren O'Day has the longest active scoreless streak in the league at 23 1/3 innings), and we have the best closer in baseball.

Did I mention the double digit lead over the Angels (who are two games UNDER .500)??

Anyway, there is exactly 1/3 of the season left to play. A lot can still happen, but this sure is fun.

And might I say happy anniversary (on August 4th) to the Nolan Ryan/Robin Ventura beat down...what a great moment in sports.
