Texas Rangers, Managed By 3x Title Winning Bruce Bochy, Up (2-0), (4-0) All Road Wins Thus Far In These ‘Offs

Tomorrow in #3 of their “div” series vs 101 wins/top A.L. seed, Baltimore (Orioles), which they lead (2-0) after a pair of road wins, the Texas Rangers, the team that has gone the longest without ever winning a title, will play at home for the first time since Sunday September 24th (16 days).

After a “that” day (ode to Marlo Thomas and underappreciated Linda B. as “That Girls”) win/sweep of Seattle (Mariners, by the way the only one of the 30 big league teams to have never made a World Series appearance), Texas had a magic # of 5 to win the A.L. West and become the A.L. “2” seed.

They did not get it, losing (1-0) on Sunday October 1, the final day of the so diminished baseball “reg.”

However, under manager, Bruce Bochy (40-17) in ‘offs tilts starting with the first of his 3 title seasons with the S.F. Giants in 2010 (Bochy’s record in Post-season with the San Diego Padres was (8-16) with a pennant in ’98 only to be swept in the subsequent World Series by a Yankees’ team that amassed 114 “reg” and the required 11 in post-season to win their 25th crown) Texas ripped both Tampa Bay and Baltimore in 2 road games apiece.

They eliminated the “2” seed, 99 wins/I am afraid never to be (never is a long time) Rays and lead the O’s (2-0) in the best of 5/”bast” with the next 2 tilts, the second if necessary, in Texas.
