Shawn McFarland writes about the fateful seventh inning yesterday that doomed the Texas Rangers to a sweep in a terrible road trip that might have changed how the Rangers do things at the deadline today.
Jeff Wilson writes that after getting swept to fall out of first place, the Rangers don’t look like a team that can afford to be buyers today.
Ken Rosenthal stirred things up yesterday by writing that with a loss on Sunday, the Rangers might do a full sell off pivot. The Rangers lost on Sunday so I guess we’ll see what happens today.
Today, among Rosenthal’s 14 questions to answer at the deadline, he ponders owner Ray Davis’ desire to rid himself of payroll ahead of the presumed lockout this winter. So yeah, thrilling times for fans of baseball and the Texas Rangers in particular.
And, I wish I had some better news to end this with but Sebastian Walcott hit the IL with a concussion after getting hit in the face when an errant throw which pretty much perfectly sums up this week as far as the Rangers go.
