HALOS @ RANGERS...Texas Hardball put themselves in this Position but there is work to do and "HOPE" is in the Scoreboard..."WEEKEND BENDERS" RANGERS take care of your Business and let the RAWLINGS Hardball fall where it may #TEXASSizedHardball

The Rangers like the Tribe are in the midst of the most important Series in 2013 as it has come down to this. For the Rangers a late August and early September  Collapse allowed the Swingin' Athletics to swing their way to the AL West Crown and that is back to back for Team Black Hole Hardball. The Rangers made two huge moves that in hindsight still will work in the long-term but they needed a boost in the short-term. Those moves were getting RHP Matt Garza from the North Siders and Alex Rios from the South Siders. Now they face the Orange County Hardball as the "Spoiler Alert" is all over Arlington, Texas like Texas Summer Heat. Rangers you have to rise up like them Dirty Birds in the 404 and show some "Valentine" for this series.

LAA Hardball vs North TEX Hardball...from the Ballpark near Jerry's World

September 26, 2013 8:05pm ET
LAA Williams (9-10) vs TEX Garza (10-6)

September 27, 2013 8:05pm ET
LAA Wilson (17-7) vs TEX Ogando (7-4)

September 28, 2013 8:05pm ET
LAA Richards (7-7) vs TEX Holland (10-9)

September 29, 2013 3:05pm ET
LAA Vargas (9-7) vs TEX Darvish (13-9)

Can Garza and Ogando get the W's and put it in the hands for their Rangers one and two in Yu Darvish and Derek Holland? They will not have to face Halos #1 RHP Jared Weaver but face #2 and 17-game winner and Ex-Ranger CJ Wilson and that is not good. Rangers keep the Hardball away from that Halos "TnT" Dynamite in Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo as well as Josh "the Natural" Hamilton.
