"2-2 count. Dellucci ready. Dotel comes home, Dellucci swings and HITS A SMASH TO RIGHT FIELD! DYE COMING ON...HE DIVES FOR IT; HE CAN'T GET IT! IT ROLLS ALL THE WAY TO THE WALL! MIKE YOUNG TROTS HOME, JORDAN ROUNDS THIRD, AND HE WILL SCORE AND GETS MOBBED AT THE PLATE! THE RANGERS HAVE SWEPT! THE RANGERS HAVE SWEPT! DAVID DELLUCCI DELIVERS A 2-OUT, 2-STRIKE DOUBLE TO BEAT THE A'S, 5-4!"
-Eric Nadel, the Voice of the Rangers
This team is somethin', ain't it?
It seems as if I'm the only one making topics about the MLB this season, and I think I have good reason. The A's should be scared for their lives right now, yet Barry Zito calls Eric Young's 3-run homer off of him in Wednesday's 5-3 Rangers win a "fluke." Learn when you're beaten, Barry. I hope that the Rangers fans in this series have taught the A's fans a little somethin' about how to be fans. The difference in the atmospheres from Network Associates Coliseum to Ameriquest Field was nothing but incredible. The Rangers virtually won this series thanks to us, and they admitted it themselves.
At any rate, now that I'm done with this EXTREMELY UBER-HYPER DANCE RANT THING, to the topic. <b>How is/are your teams(s) doing, now that there are ten games left in the MLB regular season? And this is more than just standings; this refers more or less to how the team is playing, and how they feel about their chances,</b>
Well, 2 games out with 10 left...they Rangers play Seattle for 6 of them, who they have owned this year, and then play Anaheim at home for 4. Before this series, I was virtually confident that the Rangers wouldn't make the playoffs, but not anymore. This sweep completely changed my mind. The A's and Angels are reeling, and the Rangers certainly appear to have God on their side or something. At this rate, they will make the playoffs. As long as Anaheim sweeps the A's, and we sweep the Mariners...it'll come down to a 4-game series against the Angels. The key to that is that it's in Arlington, and after what just occurred, everybody should be scared of playing in Arlington. We will be ready. I've watched atleast 150 games a season since 1997 for the Rangers, and the division titles in 96, 97, and 99....they were nothing like this. Nothing like this. This team is something special. This team is truly going to be phenomenal.
You can call Dellucci's Godfather play the most striking thing about the game, especially because Dellucci was in an 0-for-25 slump, and in his career against Octavio Dotel he was 0-4 with 3 strikeouts, but really...the A's walked Mark Teixeira 5 times (2 times intentionally, and the other 3 not unintentionally). That's nothing but pure cowardice. He's not Barry Bonds. The A's have done nothing but make him Barry Bonds. I think that shows ya just exactly what's running through their minds right now, even though they admit nothing. :D The atmosphere in Texas right now is utterly, utterly fantastic. Yesterday, every 6th period class was virtually cancelled, because every class watched the game instead. It's incredible.
Fear.
