Yummy

The 1998 Texas Rangers scored 940 runs. I know that was in TEH STEROID ERA and they were in a verrrry hitter-friendly ballpark, but in comparison, the 2009 Yankees, a totally ridiculous team offensively, "only" scored 915 runs.

Their slash line in the 1998 ALDS: .141/.177/.174/.351. Ivan Rodriguez had their only RBI, and he had a .200 OPS in that series.

The 1999 Texas Rangers scored 945 runs. Their numbers were a little better in the ALDS - .152/.228/.207/.434 - but still, holy crap. The Yankees had some good pitching in those series, which is generally what happens when, three years in a row, they give up one run in three games.
