Well, need I say, the 2009 season has officially come to a close with the Rangers losing to the Mariners in the finale 4-3. Finishing 12 games above 500, the Rangers had one of the best improvements percentage wise in baseball. We tend to gripe over the fact that the Rangers missed the playoffs. It's the ultimate goal going into every spring, right? Well, the Rangers have completed a hugely successful season, regardless of what the front-running Angles accomplished. The very fact that they stayed in contention until the later part of September is reason to celebrate. Plus, it sets up nicely for next year, though, as I made clear in my most recent post, I'm very dubious about how good they'll actually be. So as a farewell to what was a monster year here in Texas, I'll be recapping 2009 throughout this week. Here's a schedule for what you should find:
Monday: The highs and lows of the 2009 Texas Rangers pitching staff.
Wednesday: The ups and downs of the 2009 Texas Rangers offense. Also, a critique of the Rangers defense.
Friday: A brief month-by-month recap of the season.
Saturday: If I picked the winners: 2009 Texas Rangers player honors. Also, who should pick up the league awards around Major League Baseball.
