The Masters ~ Rangers ~ Mavs ~ Cowboys

The Masters

Thursday, April 10 - Sunday, April 13

This is one of the greatest events on earth. Well, maybe it's just one of the greenest events on earth. The grass at Augusta is practically fake, looking! Check out the course... Course Map - 18 Holes (wait - have I ever told you there are 18 holes in golf? Well, there are, and it's quite a bit longer than a putt-putt course)  


Have you ever hit a golf ball? Or, if you live in Dallas, have you every played Top Golf? Please tell me you're not one of those girls who plays Top Golf in heels? I'm not gonna lie, I lose a little respect for those ladies. But then again, I'm the nerd who drags my entire set of clubs with me. Ha! Call it even.

So, if you've ever hit a golf ball, you should be able to watch the Final Round on Sunday! You will understand how difficult it is to hit a little white ball into a tiny hole! Once I started playing, I had a new found respect for the Pro Players. Especially the ones who keep their cool and make trick shots. I'm make trick shots, just not on purpose. :) 

Who is the favorite to win? 

Click on these names to read more about these guys... my personal vote is either Phil Mickelson (Lefty) or Bubba Watson, but Rory McIlroy and Jason Day are slotted to win this year. 

Bubba Watson is a phenomenal dude and player... follow him on Twitter @bubbawatson. He won The Masters in 2012 with this trick shot. Adam Scott won last year. He was the first Australian to win and isn't half bad to look at either. 

Tiger Woods... oh, now you know a bit about golf. Everyone knows who Tiger Woods is, but did you know he's not playing in The Masters this year? His back is still injured, and probably his pride. He is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, but I'm okay watching the other guys win!  

Golf is played throughout the year in multiple tournaments. Similar layout as Tennis, NASCAR, and bowling. Kidding, I have no clue how professional bowling works. Either way, this is one of the most important tournaments of the year. The Winner of The Master's gets a Green Jacket, becomes a life-time member of the Champions Club, and gets a lifetime exemption to play in The Masters. Many other perks come with this title, but those are the coolest ones! 

Enjoy this week/end! Hopefully your office doesn't block TV... WATCH THE MASTERS LIVE... oh and yes, this is on my Bucket List! 

GO RANGERS!!!

3-3 (Wins - Losses)

If you made it to opening day, congratulations, except for the fact that is was a horrible loss. Starting the season with Tanner Schepper's wasn't the best idea. Come on JD! (JD is Jon Daniels - the Rangers General Manager. He's the dude calling the shots, especially since Nolan left for the Houston Astros, controversy.

Yu Darvish pitched yesterday. Dude is legit! We knew he was good, but really? He threw his 500th career strike out! Watch! Over 75% of his pitches were strikes. I look at numbers most of the day, and that is an amazing stat! The goal is to build up a healthy supporting cast for Darvish. Many pitchers are injured right now, along with Profar (our prodigy second baseman) and catcher, Geovany Soto. So the guys that are healthy need to give it their all!

Colby Lewis should be back in the Rangers pitching rotation soon. Hoping this is a good thing! 

They are currently playing against Boston tonight, in Fenway Park, my second favorite park. Tune into ESPN to watch! (and flip back and forth between KTVT for the NCAA Championship Game and ABC Family for The Blind Side.)


(It's still weird to see Napoli in a Red Sox uniform and to see Fielder in a Rangers uniform - nature of the game)

Make sure to follow the Texas Rangers on Twitter! https://twitter.com/Rangers

Follow the Derek Jeter madness... last home opener! #2

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 47-31... we are two back from a spot in the Playoffs! Every game from here on out is a MUST WIN

They won last night against the Sacramento Kings! 93-91
We had an amazing 4th quarter, well last few minutes of the game. Four straight offensive possessions with back-to-back 3 point shots! Most of our 3's came from our Guards, they were 10 of 13! Calderon, Carter and Ellis! Keep on keeping' on fellas! 

Dirk - what can you say about this guy that hasn't been said? He is climbing the charts as he scores more and more points! Not only was he named the Western Conference Player of the Week last week, he moved up to the 10th spot on the All Time Scoring List! Air high-five Dirk! You're holding Dallas together! 

The Mavs play the Utah Jazz, Tuesday night at 8:00 PM! Cheer loudly so they'll win! (the game is in Utah, so yell through your TV, it works, I promise)

GO COWBOYS!!!

Jerry Jones was on the ACM Awards show last night. He announced that the ACM Awards Show will be at his stadium in 2015


He's the GM (General Manager) of the Dallas Cowboys. Do you know of another GM from any other NFL team that is gallivanting around promoting their stadiums? Me either. Why isn't he focused on Football? (Give us a REAL GM Jerry!!!

Perplexed. Waiting for the Draft. 

NFL DRAFT... Thursday May 8 - Saturday May 11

March Madness

Championship Game: April 7 (Tonight - like right now)

Well, my bracket is busted. Florida lost. I've got nothing! 


UConn plays Kentucky right now! UConn has the best guard, maybe ever, so I'm picking UConn. #8 seed showing everyone up! Here's an article about Napier and his teammates. 

Random Info:
Have any of you watched the movies I've suggested?? 

If not, you at least have to watch Seven Days in Utopia! It will prep you beautifully for The Masters, and all things in life! Can't go wrong with Robert Duvall! 

It will also be a wonderful weekend for Spring Cleaning!! Open the windows and get at it!

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. ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 8

GO COWBOYS!!! Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31 This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!  Bottom line...  ~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. ( aka... not good ) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.  ~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. ( there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or ...

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...
