We haven't had so much baseball fun around here since 2004. (Texas won 89 games that year and was eliminated in the 159th game of the season)
Time will tell about 2009.
However, the Rangers are proving all of the experts wrong.
They are 56-42 and only 2 and a half behind the Angels!
Why the success?
First, it's all of the young pitching. Give Mike Maddux a little credit here.
Second, the Rangers finally showed patience with their young pitchers, like Scott Feldman (26 yrs old and pitching great!) and closer C J Wilson who has been lights out in the 9th inning!
Third, Michael Young is off to another 200-hit season.
It will be fun in Texas! I can't wait for those games against LA and Seattle in September!
P.S. This is Ian Kinsler's beautiful triple from last night's game:
