The Lone Rangers ~ Cowboys Post-Draft ~ Fashion Tips

GO RANGERS!!!

Record... 20-21 (W-L)

The Rangers are now batting .500. Not a good thing, especially with the way our offense has been hitting and our pitching rotation is collapsing. 

Rangers fans have taken a few hits so far this season. Derek Holland having a freak accident that will keep him out until July. We waited a year to get Colby Lewis and Matt Harrison back. Now, Matty H. is out for the season. He has to have season ending spinal fusion surgery, that could end his career. 

Martin Perez, our ACE... 19 young guys in the league right now have undergone season ending Tommy John surgery, which is what Martin will have soon. This is so sad, for Martin, and for us as fans. He is a fun kid to watch and was on fire the beginning of this season!! He will be missed! Next year kid, next year! 

Many sports writers are saying we're "doomed." I say, it's all heart from here on out. My only hesitation is that this is the first year I don't feel like we have chemistry on our team. Before Nolan left, it seemed like our team had fun while playing! They wanted to win like Boston wins, not like the Yankees win. Now that JD is running the ship, Hans Solo style, he's converting us into a Yankee team with the addition of Prince Fielder, which doesn't seem to be panning out so far. 

I'm not saying we're doomed, we're 41 games into a 162 game season, but I am saying it doesn't feel the same. No Claw. No Antlers. No chanting players names. No Walk-Up songs that stay in my head for weeks. 

I was at the Red Sox vs Rangers game this past weekend, and it wasn't even sold out. The entire Left Field was empty. That hasn't happened in years! Sad. Not sure what to think, but whatever is holding us back from playing RANGERS BASEBALL, I hope we figure it out soon!

We face the Toronto Blue Jays in this next series, then the Seattle Mariners. If we can get our bullpen ready and healthy, we have a decent chance of winning. Alex Rios and Choo are still leading the pack! Cheer them on if you're at a game!

GO COWBOYS!!!

Hopefully you watched the NFL Draft! Here are some of the highlights... 

Jerry Jones had the opportunity to take the beloved QB from Texas A&M, Johnny Manziel, with the 16th pick in the 1st Round... Jerry passed on him and took a beast of an OT (Offensive Tackle). Finally, Jerry gets a player we NEED instead of a player that would be fun to have. He drafted other Defensive players that we need and hope will learn quickly and help out this year!!

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. ...
