46-43, 3 games over .500, 1.5 games back of Oakland for 2nd place in the A.L. West. Not bad for a rebuilding team.
Evan Grant looks back at a grueling 28 day stretch chock full of road games that ended with yesterday's win at Baltimore, and during which they didn't lose any ground to the Angels. I still think that this is not a team that needs to be worried about the playoff hunt, though...even a sweep of Anaheim -- which is quite unlikely -- would leave the Rangers 3.5 games back.
Tim Cowlishaw has a Josh Hamilton column. Gil LeBreton has the rare S-T Rangers column that doesn't seek the firing of the Ranger manager or g.m., instead talking about the Ranger all-stars.
And Anthony Andro has some lengthy quotes from Milton Bradley, who is pretty emotional about being named to the All Star team.
