GO RANGERS!!! 1-0
Opening Day
Why? Opening Day is a big deal because it's the kick-off to a 162 game season, where over half of those games are played at home; and, of course, the chance to win the World Series this year!
The Second question you should be asking yourself, or I'm asking myself is... Why didn't I skip work to go to the game? The answer to this question for myself is, I went to Opening Day all throughout my college life (it's way more fun to skip class than skip work). But, ever since the Rangers have made it to the Post-Season consistently; I'd rather spend my money in October. If I had a money tree and unlimited vacation days, I'd do it all (who wouldn't?)!
Did we win??? YES!!! Hints the 1-0 in the top header. Wins - Losses. Was it pretty? I was in meetings, trying to watch on my ESPN app and had a friend who was at the game texting me that every time I texted him, the Rangers would make an error... so it seemed like a messy game. We scored two of our 3 runs on errors (bad plays, like normal plays in t-ball, over-throws, bobbled the ball, etc). And Prince Fielder had to be a team player, he had our only hit of the game and hit the ball to a spot that would help us tie up the game at 2-2.
Basically, it was all a team effort. They got the W and kept the Seattle Mariners, and Felix Hernandez, from winning their 9th straight Opening Game!! High Five Fellas!!
And a major High Five to Cole Hamels, our starting pitcher today. He had two batters, out of the first five, hit home runs. Then, he went into shut-down mode, with 8 strikeouts. We need to see this. I remember being at the game with my best friend on Yu Darvish's first start in Arlington, April 9th, 2012. He had the worst two innings ever, then he went into lock-down mode and won the game 11-5. With a little help from his friends.
Here is the full schedule... start buying your single game or season tickets now!! It's going to be a GREAT year!

There are only two regular season games left!! This Thursday and Saturday in Dallas!!! Playoffs will be fun!! The Stars are 2nd in the entire NHL behind the Washington Capitals.
GO MAVS!!! 39-38
Batting .506... with their current 4 game win-streak, it gets our hopes up that they may still make the playoffs. However, I'm not sure we're strong enough this year with late season injuries to Chandler Parsons and Deron Williams.
However, JJ Barea has taken full advantage of being a starter and has averaged 23.5 points per game and 6.8 assists, while shooting 52.1% from the floor and 48% from the 3-point range. He and Lebron were the "Conference Players of the Week" in the NBA this week! Props JJ!
And Wesley Matthews has partnered with JJ in their replacement starter venture! If they can keep it going... it will be interesting!
The Masters is this weekend. #bucketlist
Cancel your plans, go outside another weekend, this weekend...
You. Watch. Golf.
If you have two computer screens at work... use this link to watch Rounds 1 & 2 on Friday. Then cancel your plans Saturday and Sunday. Go to the early church service or meet your friend for coffee at 8 AM, then bask in the plush green color on your screen, while you oooohh and ahhhh at the shots these guys make in Augusta, GA.
Jordan Spieth, Dallas Native, won last year. Do you think he will repeat??
Here is a little history on the tournament... read on.
Also, if you're really into it - watch the Par 3 Contest on Wednesday.. basically, you need two computer screens and/or a TV in your office. Which is why I need to start my own business, where I have ESPN on all day... or the Golf Channel. Ha!
If you're in the South, enjoy the weather this week!! It's glorious! If you're in the North, Northeast, I'm sorry it's still snowing.
Hug someone!
