ANTLERS AWAY!

It was antlers all the way last night and my beloved Rangers advance to the American League Championship Series! What an amazing display of base running ... even Bengie Molina got in on the action ... moose antlers! And claw to Cliff Lee for some of the greatest precision pitching I’ve seen from a Rangers’ pitcher in a long time.

And, so now we face the Yankees.

The team with its first postseason series win against the one with 27 championship titles; the team that had to win all its games on the road against the team that swept its opponent; the team with everyday guys, against the team with superstars who date movie stars; the team with Cliff, against the team that wanted Cliff (and still believes it will get him after the season)...

Watching the post-game shows on MLB, TBS, ESPN and FSN, the thing that really stood out for me was how much the Rangers love each other. I can’t imagine another clubhouse being this tight, this self-less...If you’ll remember, Josh Hamilton didn’t participate in the spraying celebration after wrapping up the AL West title in Oakland because of his battle with alcohol and drugs... So yesterday, the team made sure Josh was included... Click here or on the image to link to a video that speaks volumes about the team destined to be world champions ...
