the rangers usually start the season off decent but as the summer rolls in the pitching shuts down.

the angels will win the division

i disagree... when have they had good starts in the last several years?  they have bad starts that they can't ever dig themselves out of, or if they ever get close, the angels have always had more firepower.

Man these guys are fun to watch!!!  There line-up is very dangerous and can explode at any time. (ask the Mariners)  I know this sounds crazy but the pitching staff is actually keeping them in games and giving them a chance to win.  Millwood and Padilla looked like All-Stars in each of their last outings.  If you haven't caught the RANGERS bug yet, go ahead and jump on the band wagon.  You won't be disappointed.

can you imagine if they hadn't traded Chris Young (2-1 for the padres), Andres Gallaraga (3-1, 3.07 ERA for Detroit), Edison Volquez (4-2, 3.27 ERA for Cincy), and there's another i can't think of right now.  they've also traded Adrian Gonzalez and Carlos Pena over the last couple of years, or their offense would be even more explosive.

The boys took it on the chin yesterday against oakland, 9-4.  Not a good outing for the pitching staff.  I knew the RANGERS traded away Young, Gallaraga, Volquez, and Gonzalez but had no clue that they also had and traded Carlos Pena.  When did this happen?  I'm still think the Volquez for Hambone trade was a catch 22.  Sure the RANGERS received a power hitting CF, but they sure could use the pitching that they lost in Volquez.

rangers have won 8 of 10, including a bunch of wins over Seattle who WAS leading the division.  they're currently up 1 1/2 games over the angels after two come from behind, walk-off wins in a row against the M's over the past two days!

not counting two two-game series that they've split with the A's, the rangers have won 5 straight series in a row, including sweeping the M's this week.  if they can keep this trend up and win their upcoming series with with angels, they'll increase their lead.

Rangers beat the Angels tonight!  Final was 10-8.  The Angels rallied for 5 in the 9th with 2 out, but the Rangers pulled it out.  The Rangers have won 5 in a row, 11 out of 13, and 15 out of 20.  That's some seriously good baseball, and they're doing it on the strength of some REALLY good starting pitching!

    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
