Texas Rangers All Star Break 2012

We have reached the All Star Break, the ceremonial mid season, and the Rangers still lead the Angels by four games. It doesn't seem like it. Also, they are tied with the Yankees for the most wins in the Majors, and only have one more loss than the pinstripes. The pitching should only get better from here out. Derek Holland made his first start back from the DL and was solid. Colby Lewis and Alexei Ogando are due to come off soon. The hitting is starting to pick up, although it is coming from the bottom of the order. Last night the Twins felt it was better to intentionally walk David Murphy rather than face him. Napoli is not getting many hits, but he is drawing a lot of walks. The last two nights the Rangers came from behind to beat the Twins 4-3. I don't know about momentum but it is certainly a better feeling than if they came up short in either one.
