Hello First Place!

How long will it last? Who knows. But we do know the Rangers got here with improved pitching. Only once in the last nine games, and only twice in the last thirteen, have the Rangers allowed the other team to score more than five runs. The rotation of Millwood, Padilla, McCarthy, Harrison, and Feldman looks exceptional. And with the addition of Kris Benson (for Luis Mendoza), there are now six reliable relievers for Ron Washington to call on (still don't trust Guardado's stuff). Elvis Andrus is becoming a web gem regular. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is shutting down the running game.

I know it's only May...but the A's, Angels and Mariners would like to have our record right now. Hello first place!
