Your Texas Rangers

Per BACM's request, I decided that a Rangers update was in order.

Going into the All-Star Game, the team was 4 games over .500, pretty surprising considering that their starting pitching and bullpen were lacking. It seems as though the Edinson Volquez/Josh Hamilton trade between the Rangers and the Reds has been mutually beneficial. Volquez is a 10 game winner and Josh Hamilton entered the All Star Game with 95 RBI's.

Josh Hamilton was dropping bombs in the Home Run Derby and the dude will remain crazy good if he can keep his mind on ball. If the Yankees want him (rumors warrant), they'll have to wait another 5 years...bitches.

The Rangers started their series with the Minnesota Twins yesterday and dropped both yesterday's game and today. Typical 2nd half Rangers meltdown? Remains to be seen. I'll be at a couple games in late July and Aug. 2nd so I'll post impressions post game.

Keep the faith and sign Milton Bradley, please.
