If you would have told the BLUEDUDE that the Texas RANGERS are to lose 2010 AL MVP Josh HAMILTOn for about 30-40 GAMES I would have told you the RANGERS might be out of the RACE Early in the AL WEST.

Fast Forward to after All -Star BREAK.....the RANGERS were HOT before the Mid SUMMERS CLASSIC.....and they are still hot as they SWEEP another Series. This time the Victim being the M'S of SEATTLE.

The RANGERS haven't had the Big Offensive Outburst that had last year on their way to the RANGERS 1st ever FALL CLASSIC but the PITCHING has been the STory.

In the 11-Game Win Streak and 99 Innings the RANGERS Pitchers have held opponents to a .194 Batting AVG. and have struck out the Opposition 86 times to only 23 walks. That my friends will keep you at the Top of any RACE in the SHOW. RANGERS Pitching Coach Mike MADDUX, the OLDER Brother of former CUBS and BRAVES ACE Greg MADDUX, has done wonders with the STAFF and only in his 3rd year with the GROUP.

Now all of sudden the RANGERS have a 4-Game lead on the HALOS who haven't been playing that bad themselves. The RANGERS, with the 4th Best Record in the BIGS at 55-41 behind the Fightin' PHILS, CARMINES, and the Bronx BOMBERS, are in a good spot because OFFENSIVELY they will start to put up bigger numbers and that doesn't bode well for the rest of the American League Specifically the AL WEST.

Rangers SKIPPER Ron WASHINGTON has his Pitching in ORDER, has the EXPERIENCE from last year's run, has a HEALTHY HAMILTON for the Stretch run, and His CLUBHOUSE seems to be in order......WATCH OUT for the RANGERS in the AL.

NOTE**** BLUEDUDE'S Rangers 2011 W-L Projection...they will stay hot 95-67....will win the AL WEST by double digits
