Rangers Clinch!

For anybody who is a Texas Ranger fan out there, now hear this. It's official the Rangers are in the American League playoffs for the first time since 1999, a fairly long time. And considering that the Rangers as a franchise in the league have been around since 1961, and this is only the fourth time they have reached the post-season, it's a reason for celebration.
For the interested:

• Here is the box score of the clinching game.
• Here is the game-by-game schedule and results--and lots more good stuff.
• Here are the team stats.

Can you believe I'm going to be out of the country during the entire first round of the playoffs? Who knew?

GO RANGERS!!
