Rangers Sweep Bosox
Are you starting to believe? The Sox were the hottest team in the AL coming into this series. I'm starting to drink the kool-aid...

RE:Rangers Sweep Bosox
Imust say I don't watch baseball nor have I in previous years but I find myself keeping up with the Rangers. I've watched most of there games on T.V. and as boring as I think baseball is they are exciting to watch. It's great to see something good come out of AROD leaving. Props to them.

I've watched about 2 games this season. They seem pretty good.

RE: Rangers Sweep Bosox
I am shocked. I thought this team had a nice future, but to this point it looks like that future is coming together faster than I thought. Much faster

RE:Rangers Sweep Bosox
I'm trying really, really hard not to get my hopes up, but I gotta tell you, yeah, I'm starting to believe a little. They are a lot of fun to watch, these young guys. Pitching has been remarkably lacking in suck. I'm so glad someone's doing good around here, since everything else is so depressing. They are such a nice, uplifting story to latch onto.

RE:Rangers Sweep Bosox
I've followed the Rangers damn near 20 years.. and I'm only 24! So no.. no Kool-Aid, no "believing" here yet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But, I'm enjoying this!!

RE: Rangers Sweep Bosox
I always follow the Rangers. And like Rhylan I am reserving my judgement for July/August timeframe.
But it sure is fun as hell right now.

RE:Rangers Sweep Bosox
It's pretty much impossible to not get your hopes up.
No, I don't think the Rangers will compete for a playoff spot, but that's not what this season is about for me. It's about seeing improvement in key areas such as pitching, the catcher spot, and center field.

RE: Rangers Sweep Bosox
They currently have the best record in Baseball. If they continue to beat up bad teams they will make playoffs.

RE: Rangers Sweep Bosox
I'd tap the break a bit on playoff talk. They have been great. It has been a great start, but I don't expect this team to hit .312 for the season, and I don't expect the tea ERA to hover close to 4 the entire season. I t hs been a terrific start, but everything has gone the Rangers way.

RE:Rangers Sweep Bosox
I'd be happy with .285 and 4.90 ERA

RE: Rangers Sweep Bosox
I love Gerald Laird at catcher. The guy is a ballplayer. You already know my thoughts on Hammerin' Hank Blalock and Laynce Nix. The pitching is good right now with RA, Snare, etc....
This team is just fun to watch right now.
