2008 Texas Ranger Schedule

Just glancing over this schedule, I see that the Rangers still have a number of "two-gamers"... and it's almost right out of the shoot. They play the Angels for two on 4/15 & 16, and then go all the way to Toronto for two. And that is almost it for two-gamers until September when they play in Seattle for two games on 9/9 & 10. They have a whole bunch of four game series this year, way more than I ever remember them playing. I think that's smart and saves on expenses on travel. In April, they play 20 games in 20 days and that is the only time they have scheduled for something like that.

• Three two game series (two of the three are away from home)
• Fourty three gamers in 2008
• Nine times the Rangers experience a four game series in 2008

Now, the longest road trip is ten games which is toward the end of May from 5/19 to 5/28. The Rangers also experience two nine game series which are in 4/16 to 4/24 and in July from 7/18 to 7/27.

Now, the longest homestand is eleven games from 7/28 to 8/7 (right after a nine game trip). The Rangers also have another ten game homestand from 5/30 to 6/8 (right after the longest road trip). They have a nine game homestand in May, in August, and in September. I like this schedule. If the Rangers are going to experience success, I think it will be because of a strong schedule. Of course, they are going to have to play well... but at least the schedule won't be a product of frustration.
