1976 ROSTER EXPANSION

The bad news is that the Rangers had a horrible run after the All-Star Break. Nothing went right. We now sit 3 GB of.. you guessed it.. the Oakland Athletics.

It's frustrating because the divisions are so imbalanced in my universe. If we were in the AL East, we would be 7 games ahead of the Orioles for 1st place. Even the Kansas City Royals, who are in 4th place in the West, would be leading the AL East right now. But it's also adding a compelling challenge which I like.

At the trade deadline, I made a minor bullpen upgrade but otherwise stood pat. The bullpen doesn't seem to matter in the 70s anyway. We'll see if we can put together a September to remember and get back to the playoffs.

But there is one piece of good news, Nolan Ryan tossed a no-hitter... his second for the Rangers!
