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!!

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.

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 ...
