GO COWBOYS!!! 2-2 (wins - losses)
Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints
We lost Sunday night.
To the Saints, Drew Brees and his 400 career touchdowns. If he wasn't so likable, it would upset me that his 400th TD came in overtime to beat the Cowboys, but it's okay. Life is as it should be.
Joseph Randle needs to figure out how to score a running touchdown properly (he keeps extending the ball over the goal line, which can result in a fumble, so they bench him, and my fantasy team loses).
We're injured.
Sean Lee has a concussion and is out for an undetermined amount of time.
Lance Dunbar has a torn ACL and is out for the season.
Our WR4, Brice Butler is also out, "day-today," with a hamstring injury.
Romo, Dez, Gregory, Hardy are still out.
It's a long road ahead.
Positives...
Weeden did a good job throwing the ball. I love the he has a baseball background because it gives him an extra zip on the ball! It's a good thing Terrance Williams knows how to catch a fastball.
Williams, Beasley and Witten are holding up.
Our Defense didn't do as horribly as it felt they did, but they have got to hold it together. The past two weeks they had a decent first half and then gave it up on silly plays in the second half. Finish Strong fellas!! (Yes, I'm cheering you on from my couch)!
We play the New England Patriots this coming Sunday. In Dallas. After a Patriots Bye week. Take a deep breath. We got this! #davidandgoliath

October Baseball fixes everything! #NoCowboysWoes
Now here is a small bit of info on our Manager, Jeff Banister.
A guy I don't normally talk about, because he's not on the field making outstanding plays or hitting the ball out of the park. But, he is doing all of those things from the clubhouse and bench during the games.
I have been quite impressed with how Jeff Banister has managed this team. Not only does he seem like a man with outstanding character and people skills, but he also works the lineup and rotation better than most teams I've watched.
JD hired him because of his use of quantitative analytics he learned from a co-worker when he was with the Pirates organization.
I'm not expert, but he has managed to figure out the days and timing to rotate fielders who we also need as batters. It's tricky when a guy is an amazing fielder, but his batting average is below .200. What do you do with him? Well, Banister uses him for a few innings to set the tone of the game on Defense and subs him out in the 7th with a guy who is batting .270. Or, he'll take a guy who is batting .289 and find a place for him in the field, just to get the runs scored when we're on Offense.
It has been fun to watch!
I am so excited for Postseason Baseball!!
We did not fare well vs. the Toronto Blue Jays in the regular season. 2-6 was our record. Yes, we only won 2 times. But, it's October. Things are different.
Here are my pitching suggestions for Banister...
Thursday - Cole Hamels
Friday - Colby Lewis
Sunday - Derek Holland
Monday - Cole Hamels (3 days rest) or Perez
Wednesday - we will have already won the series in Texas!
