The Texas Rangers got off to a slow start this year and when many of you thought they were out of it I was right there saying don't give up on this team till the fat lady sings and she has NOT sung yet. The Rangers won eight of their last 8 series and really hung against some of the best in those series wins including Detroit and Chicago. Now here are some of the keys to their last few series wins.

The Rangers pitching for one has come alive and has been there to doom some of the best teams. The Rangers pitching got off to some really horrible start but in just the last month the Rangers have turned up the heat and now a team that was out of the race before it was even started...is now just 6 games out of third place and the way Oakland has started playing the Rangers will catch them...EASILY GUARANTEED. The main one pitcher that has turned the corner was Kameron Loe who at one time was looking like he was going to be sent back to Triple A but turned on the heat and was 4 wins and no losses and an ERA of under two in those four starts. The good thing is that that earned him the second start after the All Star break. He is NOT the only one the rest of the Rangers have stepped up and have done that in times in which Rangers starters went down. In just the first half of the season the Rangers have lost Blalock for most of the season, just lost Teixeira, lost Padilla, and have lost Kinsler for at least a couple of months. The good about that is that the Rangers have had Rangers step up in their spots and have really showed that their farm system is exactly what JD has said it is GOOD AND CAPABLE OF WINNING PLAYOFFS.

The Rangers did get some good news on Sunday when Teixeira ran and worked out with the team and then later said he was 100 percent and ready to get back out on the field and help  the team WIN. The Rangers are looking for him to hopefully return against the Angels and the first series after the break. The Rangers will look forward to his return and will be glad that his bat is back in the lineup.

Well good luck to Ron Washington and Michael Young tonight in the ALL STAR game and hopefully the GOOD GUYS CAN WIN IT AGAIN. Be sure to stay here the second half of the season something good is going to happen to this team I PROMISE>>>JUST WATCH!!! GOOD LUCK GUYS AND GET ER DONE.
