Can the Texas Rangers avoid another late season letdown?

The collapse of the Texas Rangers in the ninth inning of Saturday’s game was one of the most gut wrenching performances they have ever shown. Only one game in their history is worse than this game and that is game six of the 2011 World Series when they came one strike away from being world champions not once, but twice. However, this failure to win reminded me of a more recent collapse by the team in 2012.
