A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #5.....Hold on HALOS....you have company....the BOYS from the BALLPARK in ARLINGTON...Skip WASH n the Boys...the RANGERS blazin' out the gate

I will admit the BLUEDUDE is even guilty of it...anointing the HALOS as the AL West Champ for 2012 because of the GATEWAY Arch Hammer...Albert and addition to the HALOS by subtracting from RANGERS in #1 CJ Wilson.

But after an 8-2 start and rolling through the Land of 10K LAKES and the TWIN-kies this weekend with a sweep...the RANGERS are a force to be reckon with again.

Skip Ron WASHINGTON aka WASH has been doing it ever since he has been the manager of the Rangers they have been solid in all facets. They picked up an expensive Import Yu DARVISH of Japan and he looks like a good one.

But it is not the pitching the Rangers are built on it's the Hitting and they have an abundance of that. Starting with EVERYONE loves JOSH Hamilton in Center a 5-Toll deluxe and when he is locked in the Rangers are as good as anyone in the show. Then throw in guys like Ian KINSLER (who just signed a 5-yr #75 million extension), Nelson CRUZ, Elvis ANDRUS, the VET Mike YOUNG, backstop Mike NAPOLI, and closer Joe NATHAN.....the Rangers might have the best 40 man roster in the BIGS in 2012.

At 5-2 at home and a having bought a broom and dust pan in the Twin Cities this past weekend to Sweep...the RANGERS are back at it again. And those Upstart HALOS...they are last in the AL West at 3-5 and a full 4 games back.

Rangers Owner Nolan Ryan and the Rangers Brass have done a wonderful job in keeping the Rangers in tact and adding a piece here and there not messing with that Clubhouse that Rangers players always talk about being Family and on the same page.

Next up for the RANGERS a trip to Fenway Park and the CARMINES who have all of a sudden caught fire and are 4-5 having won 3 in a row.

It will be another HOT Summer in Big D and nothing will be hotter than the Arlington, Texas and the Texas RANGERS.
