Hello, Ray.  Quoting your message to All:
 RS> Ok what do you all think about Texas vs. the Braves in the series. 
     Since you asked... I think Atlanta's pitching probably will get
     them there again (though I am pulling for Los Angeles), but Texas
     is a longshot.  The Rangers' traditional August collapse came a
     a month late this year, but it has finally arrived: they have lost
     eight of their last ten.  Seattle has made up seven games in eight
     days, and now is only two back.
 RS> Texas wins by 1 game.
     You just made a quantum leap from wishful thinking to dreaming!

     This sent me scurrying to the nodelist... why am I not surprised
     to find that the above BBS is in Redwater, TX?
     
     I'd like to see the Rangers get the "never-in-the-series" monkey
     off their backs, but I don't think that this is the year.
