Busters Somehow -- which is quite remarkable -- we never got as high about a 12-game win streak compared to as low as everyone's getting about one loss. The problem, friends, isn't the Texas Rangers. It's you.
Step away from the ledge. It'll be OK.
The Rangers blew a five-run lead midway through last night's 9-8 loss to the California Angels. The loss put a halt to the 12-game win streak. At some point earlier this month, a suicide pact was passed around and people immediately started talk of the apocalypse.
For one, the tragedy that took place earlier this month at the Ballpark needs to be a big reason we quit throwing the word "doom" out there after a fucking loss. That just makes you look retarded and like a complete asshole.
Two, the Rangers weren't going to go undefeated the rest of the season. They were going to lose and it was going to happen one of two ways: They were going to get beaten into the ground or tripped up in a blown pitching assignment.
Derek Holland battled. He didn't have great stuff and yet he went out there and continued to get outs. That first inning would've gotten anyone's goat. He wasn't getting many swings and misses and the Angels -- a veteran ballclub -- fouled off two dozen pitches and they worked walks. Add on a bloop barely-fair single by Vernon Wells and that might have made all the difference (well ... it did make all the difference -- in a three-run first and possible getting out of trouble.
It's a game. One game. and if the Rangers miss the AL West by a game, we can look at that game and the 70 others they will lose this season and wonder "what if?"
We all need to get a hold of ourselves.
