Well, the PHAT lady is already warmed up her voice and sung her opening round of songs, as the Rangers have exited the playoff run. But even with that in mind, The Cubs won 21 straight at the end of the season to make the playoffs and go to the World Series… granted that was in 1935. The Cubs couldn’t do that again, at least not with Dusty Baker at the helm. Now, this should be the Rangers motto: “We have the players, we can make it happen.” They do have the players. This team is underperforming. They could all get HOT at the same time and create magic in Arlington. My hope is waning. But I still have some. Many are turning their heads to the upcoming football season. There is still a month of baseball to go for the Rangers and until they are “statically” eliminated, I cling like static electricity at a gas station.

1 Random Thoughts:
I fear you're right about the Rangers fading. Tis also true of the Diamondbacks. I guess I should be happy both teams were still in the running through August, but you're right - the Rangers have underachieved this season.
