99 is a good number

for me to poop on

boo

Uh oh. If the Rangers move to second place, I will be totally lost on how to compute the magic number. Unless the math stays the same and the 1st place teams is just lower. Hmmm.

Better if they just sweep the dbacks and pads and have several games in hand going into the home then away series with the angles.

Oh, and I loved the Triumph reference, Ssigs.

83, same as the angels

Ungh, it's things like this that drive me nuts; the team sweeps the rays who came in hot, took 2 out of 3 from the angels but lose to the diamondbacks and padres. They gave up their 5 game lead in the division and are now tied with the angels and the m's are charging.

ssigman · July 6th, 2009, 09:14 AM

not good...glad you swept the rays...embarrassing they lost to the national league

NICKinDALLAS · July 6th, 2009, 10:06 AM

Next 7 games (in 7 days) are 3 @ anahiem and 4 @ seattle.

Agreed. Embarrassing.

However, in the "cup is half full" view; they are still contending and we've already made it through June and can't do any worse than 7 games back in the middle of July. We can stop now. This season is a success.

Chris Davis blows.

ssigman · July 7th, 2009, 02:21 PM

sad times when the team goal is to be in it in july and then nothing else matters

NICKinDALLAS · July 8th, 2009, 10:08 AM

81

The Rangers are just trying to counter balance the bar that the Cowboys have set. Cowboy fans expect an undefeated season and a Super Bowl every year, Ranger fans expect to be out of it by May.

Gutsy win by the boys last night putting up 6 in the 5th (mostly with 2 outs), pulling it back to deuce with the advantage tdb tonight.

ssigman · July 8th, 2009, 10:35 AM

and they are disappointed by both teams every year

NICKinDALLAS · July 8th, 2009, 10:46 AM

Right. "Some men you just can't reach."

NICKinDALLAS · July 8th, 2009, 10:43 PM

The angels are tossing fungos in the 5th. Rangers up 8-1 and Andruw Jones is 3 for 3 with 3 HR's, not bad.

ssigman · July 9th, 2009, 09:50 AM

games left before clinching?

NICKinDALLAS · July 10th, 2009, 09:34 AM

79

Heartbreaker of a loss last night as Tommy Hunter went toe to toe with m's felix hernandez. Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the 6th thanks to a wild pitch but could not hang on as CJ Wilson gives up a 3 run dinger in the 8th. No game for the angels last night so the lead is a 1/2 game for the kids right now.

ssigman · July 10th, 2009, 11:13 AM

tough loss...but losing to a #1 isn't a huge deal..its the ones where you lose to a cruddy starter that hurt

NICKinDALLAS · July 21st, 2009, 11:11 AM

2 1/2 back of the angels and 4 1/2 out of the wc.

Big wins the last two nights. Really need to take this series from the bosox. Taking the division looks to be the only route to the playoffs as the East is starting to pull away.
