Texas Rangers Schedule | September 2009

Texas Rangers Schedule September 2009
As August winds down the Texas Rangers find themselves in unfamiliar territory, they’re sporting a winning record and have an outside chance to win the AL West. The Rangers went to Yankee Stadium and won 2 out of their 3 games against one of the hottest teams in baseball. Even if the Texas Rangers can’t catch up to the Los Angeles Angels and win the AL West, they are still in the middle of the Wild Card Playoff race with the Boston Red Sox. If the Ranger’s bullpen and pitching staff can keep it together for 6 more weeks we might get to see them in the playoffs in 2009. Things are looking up for the Texas Rangers bats as well with the return of Ian Kinsler from the DL, Chris Davis from the minors, and Josh Hamilton from his season long slump. At the end of the Rangers September schedule we should have a clear picture whether or not playoffs are just a dream or if the’re an actual possibility.

Keys to a successful September:

• Stay Healthy
• Keep Hitting: Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler need to keep it up.
• Rotation: Millwood needs to pitch like an Ace. He as allowed 5ER’s in each of his last 2 starts.
• Bullpen: Looked a little shaky in August, Message to Ron Washington – Please do not pitch Franky in back to back days.

Texas Rangers TV and Game Schedule – September 2009
Fox Sports Southwest will carry most of the Rangers September games, although kdfi has 2 games and FOX has 1. If you haven’t made it to the Ballpark in Arlington, you need to go see the Rangers and their new winning ways before the regular season is over.
I had Rangers tickets to the Boston series and the ballpark was packed with mostly Rangers fans, but as always the bandwagon Texas Red Sox fans were their too.
