Is that 7 all-stars for the 2-time defending AL champs? What world do I live in where the Rangers place 7 players on the all-star team? Despite half the pitching staff on the DL, the Rangers stand 50-30 after 3 months. They keep bringing up new power arms for Maddux to play with. How great it is to live in the middle of a franchise's glory years! The radio guru's keep saying things like "most balanced team in the majors", "best organization in the majors", "best chemistry in the majors". Another thing I never thought I'd live long enough to see was the Rangers being the envy of baseball.

74 and Counting
So I guess we have to commemorate win number 74 for our friend Tiger. At age 36 and in year number 16 on tour (I think that's right) Tiger goes past Jack and closes to within 8 of the Snead record. At this point Tiger will at worst finish 2nd in the history of the game in both wins and majors. But, is there another run possible? Twice before we've seen him change swings and then go on a tear. Do the 3 wins in the first half of 2012 signal one final push in his late 30's? I heard mention today that even now his career win % is 27% of all tournaments entered. Easily the highest ever. If nothing else, his "comeback" will make the tour more interesting over the next few years.
