A pointless anecdote

So, for some reason, yesterday, I thought the Rangers started the day 6 games up on the A's.
Then the Rangers lost, in horrific fashion, and when I went to bed, the A's were up 3-2 on the Rays, in the 8th inning.
So I woke up this morning, and when I thought about the Rangers, I was all foul, because the Rangers were up just 5 games on the A's, and given how things were going, I felt like they were going to end up losing today, and Oakland would win again.
So in my mind, we were really just 4 games up on Oakland. And I started fretting that the Rangers would continue to struggle, and we'd have Suite Night at TBIA and the Rangers would hardly be up on Oakland in the West, or might even be tied or behind, and Suite Night would be all full of hate and mopiness and would suck.
Then, I checked last night's scores on my computer, and discovered that the A's lost.
Good news!
Then I looked at the standings, I realized I had been confused...Texas started yesterday up 7 on Oakland, not 6 up.
And then today, despite my forebiding sense of ill tidings, the Rangers won and Oakland lost. So now the Rangers are up 8 on the A's.
So, while the Rangers really just gained a game on Oakland, to me, it feels like the Rangers doubled their lead on Oakland, from 4 games to 8 games.
And there was a mantis.
So it is almost like the perfect day.

We wrote Time to Pretend our senior year of college, and the music was inspired by a praying mantis we had in our house. She laid eggs and it died, and we laid the egg case on this kinda model pirate ship on the mantle piece, and the eggs hatched and all these baby praying mantises were climbing up the rigging of the ship, and it was pretty crazy…uhm so the music was inspired by our praying mantis that liked to dance to the Clash

This is why it's not so ridiculous to call the division for the Rangers...
It’s really, really hard to come back with a deficit this large in a division this late in a season. You take a couple of steps forward as the second place team only to falter in one or two games as any team is prone to do, even hot charging teams, and you’re right back where you were only another week in the season has gone by.
Also, Mantis.

Exactly
With only 6+ weeks left in the season, what we’re looking at is that the A’s (or the Angels I guess) would have to pick up slightly more than a game a week. That requires them to play at a clip roughly .160 better than us.
Sure, some crappy week we might lose 2-3 games in the standings, but it’s just real hard to close that gap unless our wheels fly completely off.

LOL, there's a lot of that going around..
Seriously though, for those folks fretting our “fragile” lead, we were 8 games up over the Angels and 8.5 over the A’s on Aug 1, so no one has dented our lead AT ALL during our 8-10 August malaise.
Oh, by my math our Magic number has gone down 9 games in those 3(ish) weeks.

So...
The Rangers have gone 5-11 in the last 3 weeks or so.
Yet they still have an 8 game lead (I’m going to assume the Halos lose).
This team hasn’t looked good lately and has been without 2 key players, but they’re still going to be up 8 games. That has to make you feel great.

"The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance."-Socrates
Not quite
they’re only 5-9 in the last 14 (although they won the three games before that).
The Twins are a tough team, but I’ve got a feeling we can win 2 or 3 in this series.
Not to spoil too much, but I come up with the Rangers as slight favorites.
Less than two would be a statistical disappoint, not just an emotional one.
yep - didn't Newberg think Feldman was the most underrated and underappreciated Ranger last year
Colby Lewis is legit, yet he always gets 3rd billing on this team and has taken that title away from feldman imo. He’s been our most consistent starter. This can include Lee since he’s yet to be consistent
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
And if you asked Rangers fans and local media types to line up a playoff rotation, he'd probably get ranked 4th at best (behind Cliff, CJ, and Hunter)
Colbyashi is a #1 according to WAR. He’s criminally underrated.

OT: Paul Newman is such a selfish bum in "Hud", but what a great character
Jett Rink is still a legendary character as it is, but I would have loved to see the people behind “Hud” (McMurtry and then the writers of the screenplay) tackle Jett. I feel like that character could have been even better, because Jett and Hud have a lot in common.

OT: My girlfriend wants to get me drunk.
Now that that got your attention…somehow, through one year of college, I have yet to actually get drunk. I think this has much to do with the fact that, as of yet, I have yet to find a beer that I enjoy.
So…what do you fine connoisseurs of beer recommend as a good beer for the person who is new to drinking it?
I enjoy a good beer
but for getting drunk, two coronas will do it for me.

Everyone always talks bad about Zima. I liked it when I was in college. Like you the first time I got drunk was with Zima and then I moved on to Jack and Coke (or generic whiskey and Coke). These days I can’t stand whiskey and when I drink it’s mostly beer or margaritas.
Chimay

I have a story too!!
I was at Cliff Lee’s third start for the Rangers, I believe. It was against the Angels; in Arlington.
I brought K signs and sat way up in the third deck out in left field. I also had a sign which said “Cliff Lee Owns You” taped up. I was on tv for a few seconds.
I had a situation at one point, though. Me, knowing that Rangers fans are generally idiots, decided that for the 3rd K I would slide it down a ways and flip the K over, so that no baseball ignorant Texans would start something about it looking like “KKK” or something.
Wouldn’t you know it, the 3rd K happened and a few minutes later an African-American female security guard came up to me and started freaking out. Asking “what is this?” “what is the meaning of this?” Then she started touching the signs like she was about to untape them and rip em off, but I quickly began explaining myself. She backed off a bit and was like “i’m going to have to report this right now!” She got on her radio and was talking to the other security guards who had to explain to her exactly what I had said, and then they told her it was okay. She walked away.
It scared the daylights out of me, but it also made me laugh.

Huh, how'd you miss this?
Section 339 got the hookup for a suite, they dropped the heck outta the price for us, and then CHUCK G stopped by LSB and said he would swing by and say Hi.
Then he confirmed on Norm’s show a few days later that it really was him posting on LSB.

and it's on the night of our fantasy baseball draft...
so who all is in for the suite? how did we determine that?
