Josh Hamilton

I'm just happy for the guy, he really turned his life around. He's had some setbacks, but don't we all! We need more guys like he is now in the game.

I know it's still very early, but so far the Rangers are [b:a50b581b08]leading the AL in runs scored[/b:a50b581b08] [i:a50b581b08]and[/i:a50b581b08] [b:a50b581b08]in runs allowed[/b:a50b581b08].

Did any of the great Yankee teams (or anybody else for that matter) ever accomplish such a feat over a full season?

[geekor]

Hey the Rangers keep making History!

Lewis gave up only 5 hits and had 12k's, of course ALL 5 hits were Home runs, the first to do that (5 hits all HR's and over 10 k's)

Maybe that's the reason why :P

Oh and Hamilton is good to watch, too bad it's only for 120 games a season.

Let's not forget about another astonishing feat which SHOULD wind up the hitter in the HOF:

Fernando Tatis' TWO GRAND SLAMS in one inning.

Cooperstown, here he comes!

That game was crazy. HRs to the first 3 hitters. Then retired 18 straight hitters. then 2 more HRs in the 7th.

That might have been fun to see. Did see one of the Boston hitters get 2 grand slams in same game at the ballpark in Arlington once. That was not fun to see. :(

Nolan Ryan is a talented leader. And Ron Washington is the perfect field general for that team and Ryan's style.

If Hamilton plays more than 120 games....I'm not sure how they don't win another pennant.

It's not even June yet, so keep your pants on, nexrad.

If you haven't heard, it gets mighty hawt round Dallas, and their teams have historically had a hard time with the grind of the season, come June, Joo-lie, and whatever that month after is... If I didn't know better, I'd accuse you of readin' too much ESPN.

As to any of the great Yankee teams doing this...

1936-1939. Yankees
Yeah.
Talk smack when you do it once, much less four years in a row.
1927 Yankees did it as well. Moore, Hoyt, Shocker went 1-2-3 in ERA in the AL.

1906 Cubs

I'm sure there are others.

Because the playoffs are a crapshoot.
q.v. 2011 World Series. 2001 World Series. Bartman Game. 1984 NLCS. And so on.

[macnole]

That's true.

PKB--I was just trying not to dash the fragile hopes and dreams yet.
