Hold everything, folks.
The Texas Rangers have won four consecutive games.
What in the world is going on? Wasn’t the season over as recently as Monday?
Just as knee-jerky as it is to call it quits on an MLB team’s season in May, it’s also knee-jerky to crown a team champions after a four-game winning streak in May that has pushed its record all the way to 17-20.
The point, which has been made here time and time again, is that the baseball season is so long — I mean, really, really long — that it’s a waste of time and energy to declare a talented team dead in May or to start booking hotel rooms for the postseason.
