GO COWBOYS!!!
The Cowboys win!!! They beat the St. Louis Rams 31-7
Welcome to the Cowboys of yesteryear (early 1990's to be exact)!!! We are starting the season 2-1!!
~ Romo (QB) was killin' me by not using Jason Witten (TE) in the "Red Zone" - but Fantasy Football aside... game on!!! He was able to target three different receivers for TD's!! And DeMarco Murray (RB) was able to score with the run game! ("Red Zone" - this is the code word for the yards between the 20 yard line and the End Zone goal line")
~ Our Offensive Line (guys who block for Romo) were solid for the most part! Romo was able to throw and we were able to create holes for the Running Backs!
~ Our Defense... wow... they were able to hold off Sam Bradford (Rams QB) and company!!! Demarcus Ware - just tell people he's a beast. Done and done!
~ Side Note... Miles Austin (WR - wide receiver) is left the game with an injured hamstring... remember... I warned yall at the beginning of the season about his hamstring history! Dude always gets injured, which is sad, he would be a great asset if he could stay healthy!
**Get ready folks... we will definitely be better than 8-8 this year! Bust out your hoodies and t-shirts... wear your gear around town and trash talk Giants, Eagles and Redskins fans!!! (they all lost this week - woooohooo!!!)**
GO RANGERS!!!
Well... we lost game 3 against the Royals. 4-0 in extra innings (any inning after 9 innings is considered "extra" - in other sports they would call this "overtime" - i.e.: basketball, football, hockey, etc)
~ The game was tied 0-0 going into the 10th inning... Alexi Ogando (our starting Pitcher) held off the Royals for 7 scoreless innings... only they held us off too!
~ Joakim Soria was the Rangers pitcher in the 10th inning when he allowed "bases to get loaded" and a grand-slam, walk-off home run was hit by Justin Maxwell to win the game for the Royals!
~ "bases loaded" - you have a runner at every base - 1st, 2nd and 3rd
~ "grand-slam" - when you have "bases loaded" and the guy at bat hits a home run to score all 3 guys on base + himself = 4 runs total (or this could be a breakfast order at Denny's)
~ "walk-off" - this is when the home team has the last at bat in the bottom of the inning and a batter hits a guy home or many things can happen, but they score enough in that at bat to win the game!
We are now 1 1/2 games behind Cleveland to get the 2nd spot in the Playoffs. Our momentum is very slow... it will take a lot of gusto to pull this off!
The Rangers start a 3 game series at home against the Houston Astros! (Sadly - they aren't very good, so we should win these!!!)
Here is the pitching line-up! We got this!
SEPTEMBER 23, 7:05 PM CT
Derek holland - era 3.48
SEPTEMBER 24, 7:05 PM CT
yu darvish - era 2.81
SEPTEMBER 25, 7:05 PM CT
Martin perez - era 3.54
Random Info:
~ Team sports are awesome! I love how you get to see these guys match-up and try to play chess against each other on every play!! These dudes are so talented and just plain fun to watch!!! Baseball seems like a "real job" since they're on the field every day, grinding it out... but football prep during the week seems almost as intense! Either way - I love it all!!!
