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...

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 17: Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles ~ Mavs ~ College Bowl Games ~ Happy New Year

GO COWBOYS!!! 13-2 Tied for 1st in the NFL  with the NE Patriots  (league) 1st in the NFC  (conference) 1st in the NFC EAST  (division) Sunday, January 1st Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles 12:00 Noon CST on FOX This is the last week of the Regular Season, and the Cowboys are looking to win their 14th game! I'm still in disbelief! Not that a regular season record means that much, the New England Patriots were undefeated in 2008, 16-0, and lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants . Those darn Giants; they keep coming out of nowhere.  Speaking of the Giants, since the Cowboys lost to the Giants in Week 14, Dak Prescott  has completed 47 of 56 pass attempts, for 491 yards, 3 TD's ( touchdowns ) and ZERO interceptions. Nice comeback kid!  If the Cowboys win on Sunday, and Prescott plays a few downs, he will set a Rookie record winning his 14th game of the season.  The Game Sunday...  This ga...
