My Thoughts About the Texas Rangers in 2024
The 2024 World Series has come and went. Unfortunately, the Rangers quest of repeating as champs didn't go as planned. They ended up finishing the season with a record of 78-84, which they placed third in the AL West behind the Mariners and Astros, who would end up winning the division. I'm not upset, but it's not surprising either. It's hard to repeat when you are the defending World Series Champions. Yes, there's always expectations for doing such of a thing. There hasn't been a team that hasn't done such a feat since the New York Yankees back in 2000. That was also the last time they completed the three-peat, winning three World Series titles in a row from 1998-2000. In the case of the Texas Rangers, they've fallen victim to the so-called "World Series hangover." If you're not familiar with that, it's when a team who has won a World Series title the year before and then end up doing poorly the following season, missing the playoffs. It's an unfortunate category to be part of, but it's a real thing. The Rangers aren't the first team to do this, and they won't be the last. Like the old saying goes, "There's always next year."
