Over-reaction Monday Week 4 - Texas Rangers Postseason ~ Sinbad

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

GO RANGERS!!! 88-74 
1st in AL West 

We won!!! We're in the Postseason playoffs!!!

Cole Hamels pitched a complete game on Sunday to clinch the American League West Division Title for the 7th time in Texas Rangers history. 

 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!

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...
