This afternoon, I have a few updates to the site.
First off, is a proper update to the 40 man roster and the spring training invites. The info I posted the other day came from the Dallas Morning News, who seemed to do a half assed job of getting the information together this year, as it was a direct copy from the Rangers Official Site. The problem with that is the Rangers site doesn’t have the complete information. I was informed by someone on my forums that the Ft Worth Star Telegram had the full spring training roster, including several non roster invites that weren’t listed on the Rangers site/DMN site. Additionally, it had uniform numbers for all the players, no matter how obscure they were. This is good, so I’ve updated my roster page and my uniform number history section with all the current numbers.
Second is the schedule. I noticed yesterday that I still did not have times or TV schedule information up for the regular season. Furthermore, the 3 or so TV games from spring training also weren’t listed. The Rangers site did list five spring training games on TV (3 by FSN, 2 by ESPN), so I added them to my site. However, their site did not list TV information for the regular season. I was informed again by someone on my forums that the 2005 Printable Schedule from the Rangers site has the full schedule information. So today I brought my 2005 schedule up to speed with all the TV channels and times for all the games. Check it out.
It is odd that the Rangers have the full schedule online via the printable schedule, but not the regular one. However, they don’t have their act together with the roster, so I guess I’m not surprised, really.
