Rangers shouldn't take September lightly

The Texas Rangers finished off a sweep of the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.

Whoop-de-doo you say? For this year, yes. The White Sox are a shell of themselves. Ozzie Guillen is probably talking his way into the unemployment line and Chicago is finding new and inventive ways to lose seemingly every night.

But the Rangers shouldn't make excuses about wanting to win these kinds of games. Texas needs to figure out where it stands for next season.

So when rosters expand Saturday, the Rangers should bring up some young kids and put them in the fire. This season is lost for Texas.

Next season doesn't have to be and a strong September surge would bode well for 2008.
