Let's list the reasons why Bartolo Colon, Rangers' win over Astros were magical

HOUSTON - Whatever happens the rest of the year, the Rangers will always have Sunday.

Sunday was, well, magical.

There was Bartolo Colon flirting with becoming the oldest pitcher to throw not only a no-hitter, but a perfect game. There were the Rangers, a team that has seen nothing but misfortune in the first two weeks of the season, refusing to allow Houston to take the lead after Colon tired. There were the young hitters at the heart of the lineup rallying for a pair of runs in the 10th inning. And, at the end of the night, there was a 3-1 win that clinched the three-game series with the world champions.
