I counted the Rangers out weeks ago (I swore I wrote about it, but it must have been an illusion), but this series at Oakland was a chance to get back in it. Sweep and you&#8217;re a game or two out. To blow a lead in the first game of the series, with your &#8220;ace&#8221; on the mound in the 10th is ridiculous.
