Around baseball this weekend, you have the Brewers potentially closing out the NL Central race against St. Louis while the Cardinals try to wrap up a Wild Card spot, the Padres clinging to their postseason lives against San Francisco, and the Mariners and Athletics, both of whom are seeing their playoff hopes fading fast, playing each other in a huge series.
And then you have the 55-97 Texas Rangers visiting the 48-104 Baltimore Orioles in the “Oh, God, this season is still going?” Classic.
It is still going, for 10 more games, and the next four come against a Rangers team that has had almost as rough a time this season as our beloved Birds.
