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!!!

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...

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...

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ~ NFC East ~ NFL logo quiz

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-1 1st in the NFL 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, December 1st 7:25 PM CST on NBC We've NEVER won 10 consecutive games. Ever.  We lost our first game of the season to the New York Giants, by one point. And oddly enough, they are still the ghost we're trying to run away from and secure our playoff spot with only 5 Regular Season games left.  Here is what the NFC East looks like going into Week 13...  The Minnesota Vikings... what should we fear?  The Vikings are in the NFC North Division. They currently trail the Detroit Lions for a spot in the playoffs. They have only won 1 of their last 5 games, which makes this Thursday night, showtime game, a must win for the Vikings!  4-1 at home, The Vikings meet the Cowboys who are 5-0 on the road. Oh how I love those odds! Forever in our favor this season.  Quarterback situation. Sam Bradford is the starting QB for the Vikings. A guy they got in the o...
