Still hope for the Rangers?

Rumors are circulating that the Texas Rangers are considering putting in a request to baseball commissioner Bud Selig, shown here adjusting himself, to be able to spread the 30 runs they scored against Baltimore a couple of weeks ago over several games. The Rangers, who are currently 17.5 games out of first place, outscored the O’s 30-3 setting an American League record. But if they were allowed to strategically spread the 26 extraneous runs over a number of their previous losses and turn them into wins, they may have a shot at winning the AL wild card. Selig could not be reached for comment, but most analysts believe that he will firmly deny such a request if it is brought before him.
