Hello Win Column!


GO RANGERS!!!

"Hello Win Column" ~ Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 2! 

 I've had the title of this blog drafted for, oh about, 7 games... which is how long the Rangers losing streak lasted! 

 What does "Hello Win Column" mean?? I'm glad you asked... read on a bit more about the man who invented the phrase! 
Mark Holtz
All you really need to know is after every Texas Rangers win... you can yell out... "Hello Win Column" - high five a random stranger - then sit in a bit of traffic while listening to the post-game on the radio. 

 Back to tonights game... I've ranted about our "bats" not getting going the past few games (bats - not going - means we're not hitting - with a bat - hints "bats need to get going" - we need to start hitting) 

 As if this losing streak wasn't random enough... tonight, Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus and Leonys Martin all hit home runs! These guys are the typical batters who get on base, but don't usually hit home runs! Either way... we got the W (Win), 7-1, and beat the Rays to stay in 2nd place in the race for the playoffs! 

 We pretty much need to win out to secure a legit spot going into the post-season! So keep cheering and supporting your team! 

 Derek Holland is "on the mound" tomorrow night! Funny dude, but pray he's in a "game on" mindset and gets it done!

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...
