Interleague 2008

Posted by Joe Siegler on September 21, 2007 at 2:44 pm

Saw something last night on another fan forum about that team’s interleague schedule. What makes it interesting is one of their road opponents is Texas. Since Interleague started in 1997, I’ve wanted to see this matchup, and it appears I’ll finally get it in 2008.

The Phillies are coming to Arlington!

According to the preliminary schedule I saw for the Phillies for next year, they’re going to be here from Friday June 27th through the 29th. Now I spoke with someone at the Rangers today, and mentioned that this is indeed on the preliminary schedule, but there were some objections by the Rangers to some of the dates, so bits will have to be reworked. The commissioner’s office was behind on schedule making this year (due to a failed attempt at a new way of doing it apparently), so that’s why they don’t have it out by now, which they usually do. Anyway, I hope they bring the Phanatic. One of the true icons of mascot-dom. :)

Here’s some other stuff from the preliminary schedule:

Home: Houston, Philadelphia, Atlanta
Road: Houston, Washington, Unknown

Interesting that Tex might come home in 2008, assuming Atlanta keeps him for 08 (which I think is likely). The other road one is unknown, but if they’re all in the east, I’ll say it’s the Mets. We played in Florida twice in a row a few years ago, so that’s probably not happening again.

Washington would be cool if it’s true, as they’re opening up their new stadium in 2008, so that will be nice to see, although for nostalgia’s sake it would have been cool to play them in RFK too, given this franchise’s origins.

The folks I spoke with were careful to say it’s all preliminary, but I’m certainly looking forward to my hometown Phillies being here in 2008. Bring on the Phanatic!

About Site

This is a Texas Rangers fan site run by Joe Siegler. From 1999 through 2013 I used to do daily game updates, but got burnt out on that and stopped.

The site lives on as my favorite section to update I’m still very interested in. That is the Uniform Number history pages, which I’m quite proud of. Plus Ill write the odd article here and there.

I mostly spend my time in this Facebook group talking about the Rangers these days.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.
