Texas Rangers University Week ~ Mavs making deals ~ Shark Week

GO RANGERS!!! 41-41 
3rd in AL West - .500

The Rangers were on a spectacular win streak. Now they've lost 10 of their last 14 games. Not good. 

 Chi Chi, the pitcher I was so excited about has been sent back down to Triple A. (There is a "farm system in baseball" - Majors, Triple-A (Round Rock Express), Double-A (Frisco Rough Riders), and lower Class-A, etc). 

 Our bullpen (where the pitchers hang-out, warm-up, etc), got worked by the Angels. Pretty embarrassing. Especially since C.J. Wilson is beating us pretty good right now. (C.J. used to pitch for the Rangers, seems like an interesting fella).

 Good news... the All-Star break is coming up! Gives guys time to rest, take a mini-vacation and get their heads cleared before the second half of the season. 

 The Home Run Derby is on July 13th!! The best one is when Josh Hamilton hit 28 home runs in the last year of old Yankee Stadium.

GO COWBOYS!!!

As we get ready for the season... here's a fun slideshow from Dirk's Heroes Celebrity Baseball game... many Cowboys attended, including Dez Bryant. At least we know he'll play somewhere! :)

GO MAVS!!! 

Mark Cuban and team (Chandler Parsons) have been making deals!!! Yes, it's the off-season for basketball, but this is when deals are made and the scene begins to set for the 2015-2016 season! 

 Seems like Parsons has been using the "phone a friend" option to assist in luring free agents to Dallas! These guys will be great additions to our team! We need a bit more energy out there and a great supporting cast for Dirk's final years! 

 New Acquisitions... 
1. Wesley Matthews - Shooting Guard
2. DeAndre Jordan - Center (replacing Tyson Chandler, and most likely a Franchise Player)
3. Jeremy Evans - dunk champion
4. Hoping to get Jeremy Lin from the Lakers

 Monte Ellis and Tyson Chandler will not be with the Mavs next season. Super sad for Tyson Chandler. I was so excited to have him a second time. But I know, it's a business.

Random Info:
It is officially Shark Week!! Set your DVR for the Discovery Channel every night and you'll never get in the ocean again!

I've only watched one show and it's crazy how close sharks get to the shore. They're just hanging out in 4 ft of water!! I love trying to surf and stand up paddle board, but may be doing that in a sand bottom lake from now on.

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...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ~ NFC East ~ NFL logo quiz

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-1 1st in the NFL 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, December 1st 7:25 PM CST on NBC We've NEVER won 10 consecutive games. Ever.  We lost our first game of the season to the New York Giants, by one point. And oddly enough, they are still the ghost we're trying to run away from and secure our playoff spot with only 5 Regular Season games left.  Here is what the NFC East looks like going into Week 13...  The Minnesota Vikings... what should we fear?  The Vikings are in the NFC North Division. They currently trail the Detroit Lions for a spot in the playoffs. They have only won 1 of their last 5 games, which makes this Thursday night, showtime game, a must win for the Vikings!  4-1 at home, The Vikings meet the Cowboys who are 5-0 on the road. Oh how I love those odds! Forever in our favor this season.  Quarterback situation. Sam Bradford is the starting QB for the Vikings. A guy they got in the o...
