Alright, this is officially really, really fun!
The Rangers took the brooms out again today and whacked Jon Garland and the White Sox over the head to the tune of 12-4. Mench, Tex and the Hammer launched big flys. The lineup banged out 16 hits. Chan Ho Park, aside from 4 walks, was exceptional.
The win streak now stands at 8 with consecutive sweeps of the Astros, Royals and the AL Central leading White Sox. On Tuesday, the Rangers begin a 3-game set in Detroit before moving on to Kansas City. It is critical to take the confidence of the 8-game win streak and the offensive prowess on the road. If there was a downfall of last year's 89-73 team, it was the inability to translate the potent offense of home to the road. The upcoming road trip to Detroit, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Florida is a statement road trip.
The Rangers now stand at 29-20 and either a half-game out or a half-game up (depending on the outcome of the Angels/Royals game this afternoon in the heart of the OC).
