Texas is putting on a show

Watching the Texas Rangers put a whopping on the New York Yankees in the past 2 games has been quite impressive. I personally thought it was going to be the Yankees bats which would ultimately win this series but they have been relatively none existent except for R.Cano who is batting over .400. From top to bottom the Rangers have a solid line up which is anchored by their 3-4-5 hitters. Hamilton is swinging the bat like he was prior to his injury at the end of the season. Guerrero is crushing everything he sees (and he swings at every pitch he sees). Finally Nelson Cruz is having a year to remember batting .333 in the post season. Oh and I almost forgot…. The Rangers have Cliff Lee and company who have been lights out for any line. If the Rangers can stay as hot as they are right now, I just can’t see they getting beat in any four game series.

MLB Interviews

Are Josh Hamilton and Cliff Lee interviewing for their new teams? With both of them crushing the Yankees and the Rays in the AL East, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees make a go at the two superstars. Just think of the pitching rotation: CC, Lee, Burnett, and Hughes. Also this is what the line up could look like: Jeter, Crawford, Hamilton, Teixeira, A-Rod, Cano, Swisher, Berkman, Cervelli (I am assuming the Yankees sign Carl Crawford from the Tampa Bay Rays). That line up would scare any pitcher regardless of how many wins they had the year before. Although I don’t know if the Yankees are going to shell out $20 million plus for Hamilton and Lee (and around $15 million for Crawford) but it would make for the most impressive batting lineup in baseball history!
