Last night my beloved Texas Rangers completed a 3 game sweep of the division leading Oakland A’s in dramatic fashion. They came into the 3 game series 5 games behind Oakland with 13 to play. From anyone’s perspective, it was looking pretty hopeless.
Even after winning the first two, a loss in the 3rd game would still leave them 4 games out with 10 to play.
I tuned into the game last night (on mlb.com) in the 7th inning with the Rangers losing 3-2. The A’s scored in the top of the 9th to make it 4-2.
In the bottom of the 9th Hank Blalock hit an incredible Home Run to make it 4-3. Then, with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, David Delucci drove in the winning run!!!!
That’s 2 games out with 10 to play. It can happen.
I’ll keep you posted.
