Weekend Preview

GO RANGERS!!!

Games against Oakland start tonight! It's a 3 game series (as most are in baseball). 

 ***WE NEED TO WIN THESE GAMES!!!!***

 We are now 3.5 games behind Oakland for the lead and a spot in the playoffs! We have to win to get even with them! 

 Derek Holland is "on the mound" tonight (he's the pitcher... get it... pitching mound... guy "on the mound" - pitcher...) For the full pitching line up - check out my last post...

 We are still missing a few of our "big bats" going into this series... but if Elvis Andrus and Ian Kinsler can get on base and Adrian Beltre can hit them home... we may survive! Come on Rangers! ("big bats" - guys that are clutch hitters in a pressure situation - hit home-runs - possibly a grand-slam, etc.)

 Oh and if you're going to the game... please review the "Random Info" section from my last post. This is critical information!! ("anti-wave" tips) - Ladies - if you're on a date - and the dude you're with stands up to do the wave... it may be a "deal-breaker" #justsayin

 GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! 

Well - since Josh Hamilton dubbed us a "Football Town" and not a "Baseball Town"... I will oblige him and give you the Week 2 Preview for the Cowboys! (I actually still like Hamilton - just thought I'd throw in a bit of history)

 The Cowboys play the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at 12:00 PM!!! The Game is in KC!!! If you go to the game... please wear blue and white... NO PINK! Only team colors. This is mandatory! We are not Jessica Simpson. (no offense) :)

 Also, since the KC Chiefs have a much better Defense than the New York Giants... the Cowboys Offense has to step it up a notch! KC is going to put a lot of pressure on our Offensive Line (the guys who block for Romo - our Quarterback). Smart play-calling is going to win this game!

 Key Players: 
~ Tony Romo (QB - #9) - He's our QB - he's always a key player! ha! 
~ Jason Witten (TE - #82) - stud - #2 receiver! (Dez Bryant is still #1 - hurt foot and all)
~ DeMarco Murray (RB (running back) - #29) - hopefully he can slide through KC's defensive line!!! 
~ All of our Defense!!! (Anthony Spencer - dude who plays on the opposite side of Demarcus Ware - he is recovering from a surgery during the off-season, but may show up for a few downs) ("downs"... I'll explain that later - if you say it - dudes will know what you mean) :) 

My pick... Cowboys win!!! :) 28 - 14 (score) 

 Random Info:
You MUST watch the Denver Broncos vs New York Giants game! 3:15 PM - it is on CBS!!! Peyton Manning vs Eli Manning... brother vs brother! This a great duel! You have to tune in for a bit! Peyton Manning is on a quest to win the Super Bowl this year... dude is aging and he is running out of time. (clearly - he's the older brother!) He used to play for the Indianapolis Colts! Good times!

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...
