The Texas Rangers have taken the last two weeks to completely quash the hopes and dreams of every fan of the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners.

Two four-game sweeps and the Athletics are 13 games out of first and the Mariners, 11.5. Neither are in the race any longer and I consider both to be out of the picture. They simply don't have good enough teams to keep up.

Next: The California Angels.

The Rangers and Angels begin a three-game set tonight in Los Angeles with the Angels a mere four games behind the Rangers for the division lead. It might be a one-game lead in four days or perhaps a seven-game lead. At worst, you hope the Ranger pick up or lose a game.

It's July. Not the end of the world for either team. A lot of baseball -- including seven games between the two in August -- to go.

Still, the Rangers can throw a massive punch the next three days. Just before playing seven at home. Make hay.

Wally Joyner, by the way: 2,060 hits, 409 doubles, 204 home runs. Never got more than 200 hits in a season, yet, had an extraordinary amount of extra-base hits.
