I feel it slipping away...

Rangers swept out of NYC

The Rangers can only look ahead and try to do some damage control in Cleveland beginning Tuesday night. If Texas doesn't stabilize soon, it could find itself in a showdown with Seattle to avoid the American League West cellar.

There's still hope for the Mariners fans!

With King Felix, anything can happen. I'm still surprised the pitching held up this long, but with Rogers just coming back from suspension and Chris Young's nosedive, not even a great offense can keep up.

Well, they have 6 game lead over the last place Mariners...it's a race to stay out of the basement.

They took two of three from the Twinkies this weekend, and while that keeps them far from the cellar...it hurts the Twins pretty badly.

[Providence A's]

7 1/2 game lead over the Mariners now...

[themarinersmaniac]

Ah... We don't wanna beat the Rangers. We don't want them to have the higher draft pick.

[Providence A's]

I didn't think that was how the mlb draft worked (like the NFL)...hmmmm, did they change it recently?

[realmofotalk]

MLB changed the draft order to worst record like the NFL. KC would've gotten Upton under the old system.

thanks for the info...the Rangers goal now should be to finish .500 and right now they're 3 games below.

[Providence A's]

2 games below .500 now

[Fishercat]

Just a spoiler for the western teams at this point, not that surprising, just that they have to spoil something. A's have made this a good race, and at least the Sox have been able to beat the Angels.

[Providence A's]

Texas pitching helped us out last night...thanks guys

[Providence A's]

Teixeira killed us this weekend homering all 3 games

[Providence A's]

Let's go...beat the Angels!

[Providence A's]

of course by "beat the Angels" I meant get swept
