Thanks to the Twins and the White Sox (and the Red Sox for allowing the Angels to sweep them) for taking consecutive series from the Rangers. With any luck, management will soon realize we have no chance to catch the Angels so we won't do anything stupid like trade away young, cheap players to rent a veteran who is likely not much better than what we've already got (unless he's a starting pitcher). Oakland was smarter than us and has been selling off stuff for a few weeks now despite being closer to the Angels than we were.
Locally, fans celebrated when we briefly crept into second place a couple of days ago, but it's small wonder when Oakland has given away their pitching. Oh sure, we'll go out there now and maybe take two out of three from them or even sweep them, but they've already given up on the season. I hope THEY sweep US, then nobody will be clamoring for trade deadline deals and in fact, we might be able to get rid of some of our older guys to further develop the farm system. Anyone want Padilla?
