This is me, not writing.

It occurred to me last night, as I watched the last couple innings of another impact Rangers win, that I wouldn’t write today.

For the last couple weeks I’ve written about walkoff wins and no-hit bids and majestic multi-home run games and jaw-dropping debut bombs and an awesome sacrifice bunt.

Thing is: This is just a good baseball team.

I could invoke the names of Len Barker and Scott Chiamparino and Derek Holland and Edwin Correa this morning in a thousand-word essay on Chi Chi Gonzalez going 9-3-0-0-2-2 against the defending AL champs, in their park, and how, given yesterday’s report, there’s something cool enough about the fact that Gonzalez was teeing it up against Edinson Volquez that I might have pushed two thousand words.

I could point to the Wild Card standings and the tightening AL West and talk about how this team is playing and who could be coming back soon to help, but nah. Not today.

I’m not writing about Texas 4, Kansas City 0. I could write about another signature moment for this team and an exciting rookie pitcher and the front office and player development program that paved the way for Friday night, right in step with lots of other things that are going on with this franchise.

But maybe Chi Chi and his teammates were just handing the ball to the ref, Jason Witten style.

I’m not writing today.
