I’ve been trying not to write too much about the Rangers because I’m worried that I might jinx them.  It seems like every time that I get excited and start posting about them, they hit a rough streak.  So, I have been keeping quiet and not getting ahead of myself.  The Rangers have broken my heart a few times this season but they’ve made me cheer too.

I’m cheering right now.

Finally, we’re in first.  Our record isn’t great.  42-42.  .500.  But the last few games have got me excited.  We just swept the Blue Jays.  That’s a big deal for a Rangers fan.  The Rangers and the Blue Jays don’t exactly have the best histroy.

Even though Jose Bautista is no longer playing and Rougned Odor is no longer a Ranger, it’s impossible for me not to think of this wonderful moment whenever the Rangers play the Blue Jays.

The All-Star Game will take place on July 14th.  It’s always pointless to speculate too much about the playoffs until after the All-Star Game.  The Rangers are starting a series against the Guardians later today and who knows how that will go.  (The Guardians helped the Rangers move into first place by defeating the Mariners.  Thank you, Cleveland!)  But right now, I’m feeling good.

I love baseball.

Go Rangers!
