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. ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 6

GO COWBOYS!!! The Cowboys are 3-3... ( Wins are always the first number - Losses are the 2nd number ) - we're batting .500 folks! We Beat the Redskins!!! 16-31 :)  This was a great game!!! The Cowboys fought hard, and Tony Romo (our QB) played with a similar intensity as he did last week. ( The competition wasn't nearly as pressing, but he still got the job done! ) Good job Romo! He was also able to hit all of his WR's again! If the Offensive Line continues to give Romo time ( Cowboys fans have been whining about this for years ) - he should be able to produce a few more W's! ( "W" - Win )  ~ Dwayne Harris (WR) - this guy is fast! That's all you need to know. He plays on our Special Teams roster, and returns punts. He is always fast and can juke the defensive players very well. Scored a TD ( touchdown ) in this game and came close to scoring a second one! Props to Harris! ( "Special Teams" - so, there is the Offense, Defense and then the S...

Week 12: Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots ~ Dallas Mavs Luka ~ Thanksgiving and Black Friday Prep

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-4 (wins-losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots (away vs. home) Sunday, November 24th @ 3:25 PM CST This is the Super Bowl.  The team who has played in more Super Bowls than we'll ever see in a lifetime ( not really, but it feels like it ), is hosting the 6-4 Dallas Cowboys, in New England.  We'll take our small victory over another sub-par team last week vs. the Detroit Lions and their shockingly good back-up QB from the University of Florida, and raise you a legendary QB in Tom Brady.  Reality Check.  The moment I said, The Patriots, you thought... we're going to lose.  Yes. That is a highly probably scenario.  They have won six Super Bowl Championships, since 2001, and don't just talk about it every year like the Cowboys, they actually win it. Novel. Crazy. Something every team wishes they could do.  They win by beating you at your own game. The ultimate chess match. Good coaching, good QBing ( not ...
