(St)Rangers Re-Acquire "Pudge" Rodriguez from Astros

Man, do these Texas (St)Rangers know how to get pennant insurance, if there was such a thing.
I don't know if their re-acquisition of Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez from the Houston Astros is going to give them the AL wild card bid (or even help them overtake the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the AL West), but already, there are some who are thinking that the old (St)Ranger ways of winning that happened the last time Rodriguez played here are coming back.
There is one big problem-- both times the (St)Rangers advanced to the playoffs, they lost to those dreaded Yankees in the first postseason round.
At least there's a bit more excitement now that Rodriguez is back.
