Whenever I look at the AL West standings, something that I recommend against doing, I get a Talking Heads lyric stuck in my head:
If you haven’t looks, the Rangers are on the top of the world looking down on creation the rest of the division, and suddenly the state of Texas can forgive them for being in Arlington instead of Dallas. Speaking from personal experience, Austin is typically an Astros enclave, but there have been decidedly more blue and red T’s on the streets this year, and the Rangers suddenly getting good is to blame for that.
