Texas Rangers in tough spot

The Los Angeles Angels stirring win against the New York Yankees on Thursday night serves as a reminder of the difficult task the Rangers face annually in the American League West. The Angels may not be the most talented team in the majors, but they are the mentally toughest team. No matter how grim the situation is, and it was very grim for the Angels at times this season, they keep pushing ahead. That's a direct reflection of their manager: Mike Scioscia.
