Overreaction Monday - Week 2

GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! 

Mini-recap... Dallas lost to the Kansas City Chiefs this yesterday! We are now 1-1. (1 Win - 1 Loss)

 Alex Smith (KC's QB - quarterback) did a bit of running and spinning to try and confuse our Defense... but they held their own for most of the game! And it's totally weird seeing Andy Reid in Kansas City red!! He used to be the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles (our least favorite team ever)!!! This is his first year with KC and he's already 2-0! 

 As for Tony Romo (our QB) and the Offense... they looked out of rhythm! Romo had his ribs bruised last week during the game... he played last year with broken ribs... I know he's not in as much pain as last year, but the 4th quarter looked like he was feeling it! Pray dude heals by next Sunday! 

 We had two fumbles that gave great "field position" for the Chiefs! Overall - the Kansas City Defense did what we thought they would do! Kept us off-balance, which shut-down our run game and forced us to throw the ball! (field position - where the ball is on the field... 40 yard line, 20 yard line, etc... the closer we gave it to them near their End Zone - the easier they would score - which they did!) 

 We play the St. Louis Rams next Sunday at Noon - look for my preview later in the week! 


 GO RANGERS!!!

And... the Rangers got SWEPT by the Oakland A's on Sunday. I never thought I would be explaining or using the words sweep, swept so often in this blog! Terrible! 

 Very little to say about this past series, except that their hitting was terrible... non-existent! Pitching was decent the past two games, but our line-up couldn't get their bats going! 

 **Side Note - Jed Lowrie on the Oakland A's is also a photographer... everyone gets to have two life dreams... I guess! JL4 photography **

 We are now 6.5 games back from Oakland in the chase for the playoffs. I am not sure it's going to happen for us this year folks... but we don't have to give up just yet! We typically play well "on the road" - so lets see how this upcoming series goes! (on the road - means its NOT a home game) 

This coming week - we start a 4 game series against the Tampa Bay Rays! Here's the pitching line-up! 

 SEPTEMBER 16, 6:10 PM CT - MONDAY
Matt Garza - 4.46 era

SEPTEMBER 17, 6:10 PM CT - TUESDAY
NICK TEPESCH - 4.84 era

SEPTEMBER 18, 6:10 PM CT - WEDNESDAY
DEREK HOLLAND - 3.40 era

SEPTEMBER 19, 6:10 PM CT - THURSDAY
YU DARVISH - 2.79 era

All of these pitchers are more than capable of holding off the Rays - if our Offense can "put runs on the board!" (score runs - the big board in the outfield - when you score - numbers go on it when a dude scores a run... etc) 

The next weeks games are not in Arlington... so if you happen to be out of town... and end up at a game in Florida - once again... cheer loudly and only wear team colors - no PINK!!! :) 

Random Info:
~ I told yall to watch the Broncos vs Giants game on Sunday... Peyton Manning is on a quest to win the Super Bowl this year... keep an eye on him! Many think he is weaker after having nerve surgery on his neck two years ago... but he looks more than fine to me! Dude dominated the last two games! Bring it! 

 ~ Aaron Rodgers (QB for Green Bay Packers) got me 49 pts in my fantasy league this week... game on! woohooo!!!

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.  Dang it.  I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field .  And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama!  And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again.

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 2 ~ Texas Rangers ~ Subway Series, Matt Harvey

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-0  (wins - losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles  - We won!!! Y'all. Everyone is injured. Yes, we won, but it was still as chaotic as it was against the Giants in Week 1.  Injuries... to our Starters...  Quarterback - Tony Romo is out with a collarbone fracture. For probably 8 weeks. He doesn't need surgery, which is a good thing!! He had this same injury in 2010, caused by the Giants. So, he needs to be a little more careful vs. the Eagles and Giants.  Tight End - Jason Witten is probable for this week with two ankle sprains and a sprained knee. He has proven he is one of the toughest guys ... EVER. He will most likely play through the pain, but if he wants to take a rest vs. the Atlanta Falcons this week, I'm okay with that.  Wide Receiver  -  Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot . He had surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. If we go 6 weeks, the Cowboys have a BYE Week in Week 6, so technica...
