You'd be less inclined to think that if you had watched them over the entire season. As awesome as their best moments are, their bad moments are just as mind-numbingly...unnecessary. And you never know which will show up when, especially when it comes to pitching, starting and relief. And afaic, pitching is the bottom line - you get it and you win, you don't and you gotta get lucky. There's often enough times when I'd rather be lucky than good, but the postseason is not one of them, although luck is always welcome!
Besides, if we haven't clinched the division before the last three games of the season vs the Angels in Anaheim, there's no guaranty that we even make the playoffs. Magic number currently at 19 with 21 games left, and the schedule still favors the Angels (although next weekend, they have the Yankees for three), so even though it looks good now, if everything over every game went according to how it looked before it was actually over, the Rangers could easily have 10 more wins than they currently do, and then I would feel pretty good about agreeing with your speculation. But that's not the way baseball go... or maybe it is...
On a significantly more confident note, kudos to Adrian Beltre for getting career hit 2000 today. Having both him and Michael Young on the same team was expected to create some problems (and easily could have). But both men's professionalism, maturity, and overall skill sets have ended up bring out the best in both, and quite often enough, in the team. Here's hoping that the possibility of both reaching - or at least getting entertainingly close to - 3000 in Rangers uniforms ends up being at least semi-plausible in the face of age, hamstring issues, and roster/payroll realities.
I am seriously of the opinion that the Orioles should have been shut down for the season effective September 1. That such a consistently ineffective organization be allowed to affect the outcome of so many teams' seasons is not an idea about which I can find even a hint of favor.
Of course I jest, but only because it's not a viable business proposition...
