Are the rangers going to make the playoffs?

I don't know, but for what it's worth(nothing), I'm throwing my support behind them, now that the Rays are pretty much out of it. I think they need Holland to get hot, or atleast warm back up. I have a financial stake now too, with this...

Hopefully Davis gets really hot and helps push the Rangers into the playoffs.

I think they will pass the Angels in the West. The Halos bullpen is soooo brutal...

I voted no. I just cant see the Rangers starting pitchers keeping this up. Granted they do play them enough in the final weeks but I think the Angels will even up that record abit.

If they hadnt picked up Kazmir, I really would have had a problem picking.

The Angels pitching in general isn't as good as the Rangers, and they've always seemed to win when we do and lose when we do, and with them going to Boston and NY next week, I think we could be within 1-3 games with 7/10 games at the end against the Angels we'll have no problem winning 5-2.

I voted yes. I would also like to throw out there the Yanks do not want anything to do with either the Rangers or the Halos come playoff time.

I do not understand your statement, "I just cant see the Rangers starting pitchers keeping this up." If we were right efter the All-Star Break or something like that I would understand. But here it is with basically a month left and they really have not slowed down. I myself am a Huge Rangers fan and I am pulling for them to make it. I am not going to sit here and pretend that if they do not make the Playoffs that I will not be disappointed, but at the same time most people predicted that the Rangers would lose 90 games this year. Either way the future is looking very bright. I am so glad that I live here in Dallas and will be along for the ride.

Disagreed. I like the Yankees chances against the Rangers. As for the Angels, they always give the Yankees trouble, but if the season ended today, they'd be playing them in the ALCS (assuming both teams advance). In a 7 Gm series, I'll take the Yankees.

What dont you understand?

Feldman, Hunter, Holland, etc. Ive excluded Millwood, as I really like him.

Lackey, Kazmir, Weaver, etc. Ive excluded Saunders, as I like him as well.


I'll take the Angels top 3 in a must win game anytime, anywhere. Lets be honest, its going to be close and having Lackey/Kazmir is a HUGE advantage.

If I could choose any of the probable teams to make the playoffs in the AL to play, I would want to play the Angels. The top 3 starters can be good when they are on, but they are very inconsistent. The Angels bullpen is also the 2nd worst in baseball and among the worst of the last decade.
