Home Run Derby ~ Mavs like Chandlers ~ Dallas Cowboys Camp

GO RANGERS!!!

Record... 38-57 (W-L) - we are 5th in the American League West. Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios are keeping us in the game! 

You've heard me rant about the fact that we're plagued by injuries! And I don't like that Jon Daniels got rid of Nolan Ryan and bought Prince Fielder! We are a team of chemistry! He destroyed it, then a dark cloud hovered over our team. 

 Good news... it's the ALL-STAR break right now!!

 Tonight is the Home Run Derby (tune into ESPN RIGHT NOW)!!!! Jose Bautista is lighting it up!! 

 Best Home Run Derby EVER??? Josh Hamilton - 2008 - last year of the one and only Yankee Stadium!!! The house that Ruth built! (Babe Ruth - google him!) 

 Watch this 10 minute video! You will understand why baseball is one of the greatest sports!!! And Hamilton has an amazing talent! (he used to be a Texas Ranger - until he said a few poor comments about our fans and now they act like Philly fans and boo him when he comes into town with the Angels - I don't approve of the booing!) 


The All-Star game is Tuesday Night, July 15, 7:00 PM on FOX. 

**This is Derek Jeter's last All-Star game!** They will most likely honor him, as he is the lead off batter for the American League and one of the greatest short-stops to ever play the game! 

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

GO COWBOYS!!!

Here is a scary article... Do The Cowboys Have The Depth To Overcome Injuries. Are we looking forward to a Texas Rangers type season for the Cowboys? I hope not! 

 Training Camp for the Dallas Cowboys starts on July 23 in Oxnard, California. **Only 8 weeks until the Regular Season starts!!! And Fall arrives! Greatest time of the year!**

 What to watch for... A back-up QB battle. Well, not really a battle, no QB's on the Cowboys really battle. Our Defensive Line is a freshman class, so it should be interesting to see who starts where! We also have a new Offensive Coordinator and Play Caller, Scott Linehan. This is a big deal! We need a guy to call our Offensive Plays that make sense! Let's hope he's better than Calhoun and Garrett!

GO MAVS!!!

Well, looks like Mark Cuban (our Owner) is having fun with free agency! (I explained what a free agent is in my last post.) 

 He already signed Tyson Chandler, the come-back kid! Then he signed Chandler Parsons, a great defensive player from the Houston Rockets! So, I guess the only Chandler we're missing in Dallas is Chandler Bing!! 

 Still more transactions to be made... Miller? Greg Smith? I'll keep you posted.

 We've lost a few great players too... Shawn Marion, Vince Carter and Jose Calderon. You will be missed fellas!!

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. ...
