September baseball

We still have a few days to go, but after taking 2 of 3 from the NY Yankees in the Bronx this week, it appears as though there will be baseball games that have playoff implications for the home team in Arlington this year. Four games behind the Angels with seven to play against them puts the Rangers in contention for the division lead. They only trail Boston by a game and a half for the wild card spot, too. Let's see how they do this weekend playing their last series ever at the Metrodome.
This could be great! Jerry Jones' worst nightmare - something that might take some precious media time away from his Cowboys and their new stadium.
Happy Friday.

The September schedule might even be neutral for the Rangers compared with Boston and the Angels. Other than the Angels, the Rangers don't face any top teams in September. Of course, unlike Boston who get 5 games against Baltimore and 4 against KC, the Rangers don't have any games against bottom feeders either (Oakland doesn't count as a bottom feeder for Ranger schedule purposes since they're division rivals and have always been a problem for Texas.) It looks to me like the 2 teams that play good solid baseball for the next month get to the playoffs, and who ever doesn't goes home. If all 3 play well then that just means the FANS get treated to some real excitement!
