Bottom-Dwellers

Now, this is what I enjoy about this time of year when the Rangers fall out of contention. I look at the suckfish or bottom-dwellers to see just how bad they can get. This years contenders?

Tampa Bay: 57-93
Kansas City: 58-92

Kansas City would need to go no better than 4-8 to hit triple in the loss column. The Rays on the other hand, would have to do better than 5-7 to avoid the triple in the loss column. Kansas City has played good baseball of late, winners of 6 of their last 10 and overall, their win percentage is .387, so chances are they can hit the .416 needed to skip the “disgrace” of a 100 loss season… not that 99 is anything to brag about, but still. It’s the little things in life, you know. Tampa needs to split the last twelve to avoid the 100 mark. Tampa has four games against the Yankee and two against the Red Sox. The other six games are against Baltimore and the Indians. I just can see them mustering up six wins against these four teams. The Yankees and Red Sox should be good for four losses easy. You know, Tampa could avoid a 100 loss season. But they are on an eight game losing streak, they are coming up cold against Baltimore and after they finish the series with Baltimore, and then they follow that with the Yankees and then Boston. HELLO LOSE COLUMN #100!

Maybe the Rangers will go back to a Red Uniform. I keep saying it… maybe they might here me someday…
