Looking at the Rangers' starting pitchers shows you right there why they are so bad. These are AAA pitchers. Probably none were on the Arlington roster when they opened the season. Houston has a three-game lead (two in the loss column) and have a chance to lock the Rangers in the basement with a sweep.

Unless we put on a real spurt the final month, we'll have the #2 overall pick next year thanks to the Aiken f-up plus the #3, #4 or #5 depending on how Arlington, Colorado and Arizona do the rest of the way. To get the #1 overall would take an epic collapse similar to the end of last season when we closed on an 0-15 run.

Even with the Rangers in town, I bet the attendance is brutal since the Aggies, Texans and Cowboys are all playing tonight. There were under 15,000 last night.
