GO RANGERS!!!

Record... 17-15 (W-L)!!! The Rangers are 3rd in the AL (American League), behind the Oakland A's and the Detroit Tigers. 


~ So, when we played Oakland in Oakland two weeks ago, we swept them (remember - a sweep - when a team wins the entire series of games in a row, typically 3 or 4 games are in a series). Then they came to Arlington and run-ruled us, and got their sweep! I'm not a fan of how poorly we pitch to the A's. It makes me nervous down the stretch, but it's early enough in the season that anything can happen! (Yu Darvish better work on studying the A's players - as of now, they own him.

~ The Rangers need to focus on scoring some runs! Our guys in the field have got to start helping our pitchers out. Not just defensively by catching the ball and making plays in the field, but scoring some runs to give our pitchers a cushion to get the W (Win). 

~ If you take a look at our Batting Leaders... it's two dudes... Shin-Soo Choo and Alex Rios. (You should know most of these terms by now, OBP, may be one you don't know - On Base Percentage - means the dude hits and is "safe" on base - this can happen various ways, but you get the point). We need the Prince Fielder to get it going! Dude has a Batting Average of .231 and only has 2 Home Runs. Not sure about you, but when we traded for this guy in the off-season, all we heard about is how he's going to do amazingly in The Ballpark in Arlington since it's a hitters park. So Prince, where you at? 
We lost tonight against the Colorado Rockies - and barely survived against the Angels, winning that series 2-3. Here is the upcoming schedule...
P.S. This Sunday is Mother's Day - if you haven't bought a gift for your mom yet - you should take her to the Red Sox game! Tickets are way over-priced by now, but it will be worth it! :)

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

GO COWBOYS!!!

~ The NFL DRAFT is this Thursday, May 8th! Make sure to tune in and DVR this grand event. 

I must say, it is much more exciting in person! I had the pleasure of attending the NFL Draft at Radio City in '06, '07 and '08! My friends and I slept on the street in front of Radio City the first two years, then by the last year we became "Day 2 Diehards" - so we had our tickets mailed to us. Pretty sweet gig. So much fun and after seeing the DRAFT DAY movie - I've decided my new life's dream is to become the GM of a football team. (ha!



~ As for the Cowboys and their draft pics... we NEED Defensive players: Defensive Tackle (DT), Defensive End (DE), Cornerback (CB), and Safety (S). I assume, along with the rest of the world that we'll take Anthony Barr, Outside Linebacker from UCLA. Best part about this kid is that he used to play Running Back (on Offense), so he has more insight on how to shut down the run game. They are comparing him to DeMarcus Ware (whom I liked and the Cowboys traded to Denver at the end of last season... tears).

Random Info:
I mentioned before that this Sunday is Mother's Day. It is a nice day to honor all mother's, but that should be every day. Not just mom's, but dad's - siblings - friends! 

And if you're holding on to things from the past - let them go - life is far too short to stay bound up and trapped! Choose to be free, you do realize for most of us, we choose to stay bitter and resentful! How can you live life to it's fullest if you are living it like that?? 

Call the people you love, tell them you love them, don't be afraid to say those words and cherish the moments you have together. Care for their hearts, sacrifice for them and do whatever it takes to let them know they are valued and you are proud of them. These are choices we make or don't make every day. Life's not about you.

Hug someone :)

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. ...

Week 12: Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Staubach's Final Game vs. Redskins ~ Be Thankful

GO COWBOYS!!! 9-1 1st in the NFL  (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, November 24th Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 3:30 PM CST on FOX Full of hope, I predicted last week that the Cowboys would beat the Ravens by 11 points. We won by 10.  Y'all, this is better than I could have ever hoped for... in my football fan life. We went up against the #1 Defense in the league, threw up 97 rushing yards from Zeke and 301 passing yards by Dak. What? Who are we? So much fun!  THANKSGIVING DAY RIVALRY...  Before you get all tired off Tryptophan ... make sure to  check out this link and read about the NFL history on Thanksgiving Day . The two most consistent teams to play are the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions.  The Washington Redskins... our NFC East Division Rival. We have played the Redskins twice a year since 1961.  That is a long time!  T...

Over-reaction Monday Week 14 ~ MAVS ~ Rangers

GO COWBOYS!!! Week 14 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears... Who Won? Da Bears! BIG! 28-45 No one was hibernating tonight at Soldier Field. The Bears came to play in some frigid temperatures! 7 degrees... feels like -4... dagger!  ~ McCown (Chicago's back-up QB) - after tonight - I'm more afraid of him then most active QB's in the league. He has lethal weapons in Brandon Marshall (WR), Alshon Jeffery (WR) and Matt Forte (RB). They scored on EVERY possession! (except an onside kick) 5 TD's!! They played so well - they were cocky enough to go for two points instead of going for the extra point after their TD at 33 pts. That is bold. In your face to the Cowboys Defense. Wow. This one hurts.  ~ Dallas. Our Offense had a run game going in the beginning. Chicago is horrible against the run, but we didn't even maximize on it! DeMarco Murray (our RB) had 145 yards and no TD's . Romo threw for 3 TD's to 3 different receivers! That's a cool stat... if...
