Texas Rangers Win Again, Issue a Press Release That'll Blow Your Mind

They've lost Michael Young (two weeks with a hammy) and now maybe even Josh Hamilton (left last night's game with back ouchie). But, give them credit, your Texas Rangers haven't lost hope.

And why should they?

Allow me to quickly clarify my position: I don't think the Rangers will make the playoffs, but I sure as hell hope they do. I've been a fan since watching Frank Howard whistle a homer out to center field in the first game ever played in Arlington. I want them to rally past the Red Sox and Angels. I just don't believe it's going to happen. (Accuse me of reverse psychology, maybe. But not of being an outright hater.)

Make sense?

Last night, however, was another step - actually, three - in the right direction. Rangers beat the Blue Jays while Boston and Anaheim lost. The Wild Card race is, shall we say, interesting?

And just lookie what appeared in my inbox yesterday afternoon. I hope you're sitting down ...
