Week 5: New England vs. Cowboys ~ Rangers Sweep? Blue Jays ~ President's Cup

GO RANGERS!!! 
PLAYOFFS!! 
Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Series 2-0

Game 3. Sunday. 7:05 PM - in Arlington

HELLO WIN COLUMN!!! RANGERS LEAD THE ALDS SERIES 2-0 and play Game 3 at home Sunday night! 

 Y'all. Can I get an air high five? 

 I really hope you got to watch the game or at least listen to it on the radio. If you missed it or just got lost in the 14 innings... watch this recap. Or watch this video play-by-play of all of the great hits! 

 Roughned Odor deserves the biggest hug ever!! That dude was all over the place! He always is, but his sliding abilities are insane! I'm pretty sure he takes off his batting gloves and puts a sliding mit on his right hand. His two slides at Home Plate looked like a scene out of the Matrix! Gosh, you gotta love that kid! 

 And DeShields. Sheesh. He got up to 21mph running to first base in the 14th inning! What? Track star? I'm glad he chose baseball instead of the Olympics. And glad the Rangers chose him. 

 Josh Hamilton. Since Banister is such a stats guy, I wonder why he left Josh in during two day games, only to produce 1 hit in 10 at bats. I like Josh, and I think he will do great Sunday night! We needed him in left field. I get it. 

 Hanser Alberto. Adrian Beltre's replacement at 3B. Was 0-4 until the 14th inning... then crack... dude sends the go-ahead run to Home Plate. Game on y'all! Game on! 

 Beltre didn't play today, due to a strained back. But, he will hopefully rest up today and Saturday, then play on Sunday night in Arlington!

 Hamels held it together! We only used 6 pitchers to the Toronto Blue Jays 8. Similar pitch count, Rangers 214, Blue Jays 207. But the Rangers had 15 Strikeouts and the Blue Jays only had 10. 

 There was almost a brawl between Kela (Rangers Pitcher) and Donaldson (Blue Jays 3B). But the teams diffused it and Donaldson took his faux hawk ponytail back to the dugout after he was thrown out at first.  
*************

 We didn't have sound on our TV's at work, but could watch it. Like mime baseball.

 I basically sat in a conference room from 10AM-4:30PM. Yes, I had my laptop and was working. No, I was not as efficient as I should have been. Hopefully we're done with day games. 

I'm thankful I have very gracious co-workers/friends who put up with me being a bit enthusiastic through all 14 innings. 

 I may or may not yell loudly.

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-2 (wins - losses)

Sunday, October 11th
New England Patriots vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on CBS

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard 
A discouraging word
And the sky is not cloudy all day

 Normally, playing at home is a good thing. You have home field advantage. You have the home crowd. You have the star in the center of the field (forget about T.O. standing in the middle of it as an Eagle). 

 But, this week feels different. 

 We have Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, bringing their posse to town. 

 Brady was supposed to be suspended through game 4 from deflate-gate. Clearly, that was overturned and he's been on a "stick-it to the NFL" tour. 

 They don't have any major injuries. All of the Cowboys are injured. 

 They've averaged 39.7 points per game and only allowed opponents 23.3 ppg. 

 Rob Gronkowski is healthy, as is the entire line-up of WR's. 

 Brady has thrown for 370 passing yards and will be the toughest matchup for our Dallas Defense, maybe this entire season. 

 Greg Hardy and Rolando McClain are back in action this week! Our DE's, Safety's and Cornerbacks have to play lights out! It's their job to keep Brady OFF of the field. It's Weeden's job to keep the Cowboys ON the field. 

Bottom Line... Witten is still playing! You'll see more McFadden this week with Dunbar out and Randal making bone-head plays. I think Weeden can hold his own! Matt Castle was listed as active this week, just in case Weeden gets hurt. For the first time in a long time, I predict we will lose. 38-21. 

 BTW... no one EVER wants to think their team will lose. Having hope for your team is the best part about being a fan! 

Injuries... Romo. Dez. Lance Dunbar. Brice Butler. Randy Gregory.   

Fantasy Football... With so many injuries across all NFL teams, it is hard to keep up! I'm shocked the my Houston defense has gotten me 5 points ALL SEASON!!! I dropped them for Green Bay's D. It was available and they'll at least get me positive points! (Buffalo's D is the best)!

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 8

GO COWBOYS!!! Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31 This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!  Bottom line...  ~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. ( aka... not good ) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.  ~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. ( there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or ...

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 ...
