Thanks, 'Nats!

Remember 2 weeks ago? Remember when the Detroit Tigers were the worst team in the history of Major League, Minor League, College, Highschool, and Little League baseball history because they had the audacity of starting 0-6?
Well, at the same time that Detroit Thug-city went 0-6, the Texas Rangers were 3-3, with some promising looking starting pitching. Since that 0-6 '8-Mile' start, the Tigers have gone 9-7, while the Rangers have gone 4-12.
That's right. Even though the Tigers were on the verge of being the first team since the Chicago 'Black'sox to being (metaphorically speaking) banned from the league all together, the Rangers have found a way to do what they do best, and sink lower than the lowest.
Worst team in the AL two weeks ago? The Tigers.
Team most likely to not make the playoffs two weeks ago? The Tigers.

Worst team in the AL now? The Rangers.
Team most likely to not make the playoffs now? The Rangers.
Team most likely to make me consider hanging myself, and would probably do so if it weren't for the fact that the Cowboys are a contender in the NFL again? The Rangers.
Most overrated team in their division? The Mavericks. (Just had to throw that in there.)

What all of this means is simple. The Rangers are the worst team in the AL, but only the SECOND worst team in the 'Bigs. Thank you, Washington Nationals. You have given us a reason to hope, and a reason to... well, actually the only thing you've given us is the privilege of saying we're not the worst team in Major League Baseball.......yet.
