Rangers poll flops


A grand total of one vote appeared on the latest poll to determine the cause for the Texas Rangers recent resurgence. A polling flop to be sure, much like the Rangers' performance since the poll's close.

However, that one vote did not come from the author of this blog. The lone participant chose the other option but did not specify his/her choice.

Personally, I tend to agree of the other selection. My reasoning leads me to believe that any team, over any given season, will have at least one hot streak. I think the Rangers were ready to prove eveyone wrong and gut out some victories. They played above themselves and now come crashing back to earth, led by closer C.J. Wilson.

Centerfielder Josh Hamilton may end up being a great player. Shortstop Michael Young is very good player. Past those two I do not see any other reason to get giddy over the nice run the Rangers seem to have finished off. Time will tell, but I simply do not see any greatness on this team right now that puts a spring in my step moving forward.
