Since this has been so fun the past two years, let’s count down.
↵With Sunday’s victory, the 2012 Texas Rangers squad enters the top 10 in franchise win totals. They tie the ’78, ’76, and ’09 squads with 87.
↵That’s what’s fun these days. Before the Ron Washington era, 87 wins was a big deal, but this team has 16 more games with a chance to improve on that total.
↵The next three wins will each move them up to 7th, 6th, and 4th, respectively, and a .625 winning percentage the rest of the way would give them a new franchise high water mark of 97.
