HOUSTON -- You hear it so often at playoff time that the words take on the form of the cliche: The team that wins the big moments, wins in the postseason.

For two games over two nights in the ALCS, and for seven games since the playoffs began, the Texas Rangers have won just about all the big moments that have come their way this October.

Texas was at it again on Monday, winning a nail-biting 5-4 decision in Game 2 at Minute Maid Park that puts the Houston Astros in the kind of postseason hole they've rarely been in during their seven-season run of October dominance.
