So, the Rangers just had a phenomenal 2-1 win at Yankee Stadium against New York's 10-game winner Mike Mussina. Scott Feldman had a great outing as his lone run allowed was on a solo blast from A-Rod.

So with the win, the Rangers are now 43-41 -- you got it, two games over .500. That marks the first time in manager Ron Washington's tenure in Arlington that his team has been two games over .500. I said it earlier today. This team excites me.

The bullpen (Frank Francisco, Jamey Wright and C.J. Wilson) didn't give up a hit, much less a run.

Well, technically, we're 83 games in to a 162-game season, but now I will give my report card to some Rangers players at what is basically the midpoint through a season, which by most accounts has been one of tremendous overachievement of most expectations.

At 42-41 after last night's great win over Philadelphia, which gave the Rangers yet another series win, things are looking up for the team that was clearly the worst team in baseball after a month of play.

We'll start with the offense...
