First Place Texas Rangers
WTF happened to their pitching? Good thing these c*cks are in a division that the Washington Nationals could be leading. I have never seen a team just turn it off so fast. Its almost like they have never recovered after getting rid of Padilla. Now that the Dodgers are out of the running, do you think they beg him back?

I used to think this team had what it took to be a good playoff team, especially after adding Lee, but now

I think it may be a big slump their in, and will turn it around. I really would like to see them do damage in the playoffs & take out the NY Yankees!

Still have Cliff they are just leaving him out there too long. Let him not have to go 9 every game. They have one of the best closers in baseball in Feliz, so just mix and match the 8th inning, stop leaving him out there to get tatted.

Colby Lewis is one of the best signings bringing him back from Japan

I also like CJ Wilson, he can bring it. But like Hunter, Holland, Feldman, Harden, all are garbage

Agree, I dont see why they feel the need to let Cliff go the distance every single game like he is Roy Halladay in Toronto. lol

I also agree that Harden and Hunter are POS and need to be cut. Hunter is undefeated on my bench but as soon as I start him, he doesnt make it past the 3rd inning. FML

Nope, the doubts started after Baltimore came in town and swept 4 games UGGG. Even then it was just their bats though. Everyone was cold and couldnt score runs. Now their pitching has crumbled and Cliff couldnt even hold a 6-1 lead against the Yankees.

7-1 really? I guess that's about the right price for that exacta, I don't hate Tex but I really like Bal with Showalter. 7-1 is so tempting, I have to find out what the real odds would be and do some cool quantitative capping for this but I may be interested in that wager
