Mavs ~ Rangers ~ Stars ~ Cowboys

April 23, 2014 - TEXAS SWEEP!!! 

Mavs beat the San Antonio Spurs 113-92... Tied in the Playoffs 1-1

Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 3-0... PĂ©rez throws 2nd shutout

Stars beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-2... Tied in the Playoffs 2-2

GO MAVS!!!

PLAYOFFS: Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs... Tied 1-1

~ The Spurs have a history of beating us... badly! (Mavs had lost 10 games in a row to the Spurs; 5 consecutive Playoff Games.) They beat everyone badly, you just don't hear about them on Sports Center. And they have the "Coach of the Year" in Greg Popovich! Even with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili (aka: Giwoboly - he flops too much) and Tony Parker... the Mavs railroaded them in Game 2! 

~ What the Mavs need to do to win out? Play 110%! Every guy on our team has an important role and when they execute like they did in Game 2 - we are unstoppable! The crazy thing was, Dirk wasn't even hitting his shots in the 4th Qtr! Every one else just stepped up! #MustWin

GO RANGERS!!!

What a start to the Year! Everyone doubted us and look where' we're at... sitting' pretty at 14-8!!! The Rangers are LEADING the American League! 


~ Pitching... dang y'all! We knew Yu Darvish was an Ace, but not too many sports casters were talking up MartĂ­n PĂ©rez. He threw two shutouts, back-to-back! (Shutout: the other team did not score any runs... zero!) He hasn't allowed any runs in his last three starts and has a 1.42 ERA. (ERA - remember, this is Earned Runs Average by the opposing team. The more a team scores against a pitcher, the higher the number... the less a team scores against a pitcher, the lower the number... LOWER IS BETTER, like in golf!) Basically, we started the season with a crazy number of pithcers on the DL, and they're slowly coming back into the rotation. Good times ahead! (Matty H is back Sunday vs. Seattle)

~ Injured... Kevin Kouzmanoff, who has been batting .362 the past two weeks, has a back injury... TBD. Shin-Shoo Choo, our lead off batter and out fielder has an ankle injury that is day to day. Good news... Third Baseman, Adrian Beltre, is back in the line up Friday!! 

We're facing round two of playing the Seattle Mariners...  we won the first series 3-1... we got this! :)

Buy your Rangers tickets now!! Great for a family outing! 

GO STARS!!!

PLAYOFFS: Dallas Stars vs. Anaheim Ducks... tied 2-2

~ Y'all know I'm not a huge hockey fan... I grew up in 100 degree weather and in roller skates, not ice skates. However, I do remember Eddie Belfour, Derian Hatcher, Mike Madono, Brett Hull and other guys that won a Stanley Cup years ago! 

Watch this video to catch up on the series and how well the Stars are playing! 

GO COWBOYS!!!

The Cowboys are a mess. Here's a quick video about our QB situation. The Cowboys signed Caleb Hanie today and had already signed Brandon Weeden.


~ The NFL draft starts on May 8th! Let's just say - the Cowboys have a LOT of work to do before then. We all know Jerry Jones would love to weasel his way in and get Johnny Manziel; however, does one team really need 5 QB's when we don't even have a Defensive Line? 

FYI: The Cowboys 2014 Schedule was released yesterday! Start blocking off your calendars! (Tip: you can export the schedule for all sporting events from ESPN calendars to your iPhone, Android, etc. #brilliant

Have you seen Draft Day? I haven't yet, but plan on it ASAP!

Pics from my first Rangers Game of the season... it was freezing!

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...

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  ...

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. ...
