The Texas Rangers are struggling. Though they remain in first place in their division (the American League West), their lead has shrunk to 2.5 games (from more than 10) over the Houston Astros. It should be a close race through the end of the season. Yesterday evening, Katherine and I went to the Ballpark in Arlington (about 10 miles from our house in Fort Worth) to cheer the boys to victory over the lowly Oakland Athletics. Alas, they lost, 6-4. This image shows the Rangers' mascot, Rangers Captain. He (or she) came to the third deck to give a girl some souvenirs. Click to enlarge.
