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! :) 

Get ready for training camp... end of July!!! 

Check out the Dallas Cowboys schedule here.

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.

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. ...

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 ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 2 ~ Texas Rangers ~ Subway Series, Matt Harvey

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-0  (wins - losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles  - We won!!! Y'all. Everyone is injured. Yes, we won, but it was still as chaotic as it was against the Giants in Week 1.  Injuries... to our Starters...  Quarterback - Tony Romo is out with a collarbone fracture. For probably 8 weeks. He doesn't need surgery, which is a good thing!! He had this same injury in 2010, caused by the Giants. So, he needs to be a little more careful vs. the Eagles and Giants.  Tight End - Jason Witten is probable for this week with two ankle sprains and a sprained knee. He has proven he is one of the toughest guys ... EVER. He will most likely play through the pain, but if he wants to take a rest vs. the Atlanta Falcons this week, I'm okay with that.  Wide Receiver  -  Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot . He had surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. If we go 6 weeks, the Cowboys have a BYE Week in Week 6, so technica...
