Wow, the Rangers just swept a doubleheader from the formerly 6-1 Orioles (sorry, Liz) and are a half game out of first at 5-4, having won two out of their first three series. Those two series wins were against the first place teams in two different divisions.
Yes, yes, it's early, but it was early last year when we SUCKED. You can't win a pennant in April, but you can definitely lose one, and we did that last April, digging such a deep hole with a horrible start.
Right now, we're getting much better starting pitching than we have any right to expect, and the hitting is average to above average, and we're winning some close games. It's nice. I would love it if they would still be competitive by the time I get a chance to take the two older boys to a game. What a concept, to watch a Ranger game in person that actually has some significance! Last time that happened, I got to watch us lose to the stupid Yankees in the playoffs.

Heh, Good show by the Rangers yesterday. It doesn't matter to me, the O's aren't supposed to do well at all this year, so for a week or so to have them doing well was a very nice thing. I don't expect the good to continue although there is a chance for just a little while longer since we're playing Tampa the next few days... :)
