Hey, the best part of being a terrible team is the ability to play spoiler, right?
The Rangers are looking to go to the postseason for the first time since 2012, when their hopes and dreams were crushed by the upstart A's. So, what better way to get some degree of hope back than by crushing the hopes and dreams again?
Minnesota is only one game back, and we've got the opportunity to give an entire fanbase flashbacks of their most painful season in recent memory. Who wouldn't take that opportunity???
Just like three years ago, the assault was led by upstarts and various detritus from other teams that found a home in Oakland.
