Rangers lose to Tampa Bay Rays... Game 1


GO RANGERS!!!

Well folks... here's how it went down... Pitching stunk... Hitting stunk... EVERYTHING stunk! 

 The Rangers had a "players only" team meeting before batting practice! I assume they were trying to rally the troops, pump each other up... get the ball rolling... but it just hasn't worked!

 They even brought Lance Berkman into the game to be our Designated Hitter - he went 0-4. (This is a position where a player only bats - they do not play a position in the field. This is only in the American League. In the National League - this position in the batting line-up is played by the Pitcher. Too much info???)

 We are quickly sliding into Yankee territory... (this is a metaphor - they haven't played well this year, but even they are over .500) Do I need to explain .500?? I will later! - bottom line... we're going backwards while other mediocre teams are moving forwards. 

 Matt Garza (our Pitcher tonight) had a poor showing and gave up 6 runs! The Pitcher for tomorrow night is now TBD. 

 Let's hope Ron Washington (the Rangers Manager) has a better game plan for tomorrow!

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. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto. ...

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day ~ Thankful for Sports ~ Thankful for Life

Dallas Cowboys Sunday, November 22 @ 3:25  PM CST Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings  (home team is second) & Thanksgiving Day, November 26 @ 3:30  PM CST Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) Our record is 2-7. That's two wins, seven losses. Every other conference in the NFL has a team in the lead with at least 6 wins. The Eagles are leading the NFC East with a 3-5 record, while the Cowboys are tied with Washington in 3rd and 4th place. This should make the Thanksgiving day game interesting. Two 2-7 teams, prime time at 3:30 PM on Turkey Day!!  Not quite the games we've watched in the past with this rivalry, but this will be the first year the Cowboys are playing The Washington Football Team, with no name. That's kind of cool. And of course there will be a Salvation Army nod with Zeke.  That is if Zeke can run the ball. He hasn't had a game over 100 yards this season and we're playing Dalvin Cook this week vs. the Minnesota V...

Week 12: Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots ~ Dallas Mavs Luka ~ Thanksgiving and Black Friday Prep

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-4 (wins-losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots (away vs. home) Sunday, November 24th @ 3:25 PM CST This is the Super Bowl.  The team who has played in more Super Bowls than we'll ever see in a lifetime ( not really, but it feels like it ), is hosting the 6-4 Dallas Cowboys, in New England.  We'll take our small victory over another sub-par team last week vs. the Detroit Lions and their shockingly good back-up QB from the University of Florida, and raise you a legendary QB in Tom Brady.  Reality Check.  The moment I said, The Patriots, you thought... we're going to lose.  Yes. That is a highly probably scenario.  They have won six Super Bowl Championships, since 2001, and don't just talk about it every year like the Cowboys, they actually win it. Novel. Crazy. Something every team wishes they could do.  They win by beating you at your own game. The ultimate chess match. Good coaching, good QBing ( not ...
