GO RANGERS!!! 43-45
~smile~
9th in the AL (American League)
3rd in the AL West (16 games behind the Houston Astros)
What is going on with the Rangers????
We need pitching.
Almost every guy on our team is batting .250 or higher... this is a good thing! We have 133 Home Runs for the first half of the season, 3rd in the league.
Sure, we could always use more offense, but when our guys are consistently putting up 5 or more runs, even in losses, you've gotta get some help from your bullpen (the bullpen is where the pitchers warm-up during games, usually in the outfield).
Yu Darvish is still our most "productive" pitcher. He's been healthy most of the season, and has 125 strikeouts. But why am I still not sold on this guy? Maybe because his ERA is 3.49, and maybe because he's allowed 93 guys to hit off of him, second most to Martin Perez.
I'm not an expert here, but Darvish was selected for the All-Star Game, which is this Tuesday night. But, he pulled out of the All-Star Game, because he pitched in Sunday's game vs. the Angels and is now 6-8. Interesting.
Trades will be made during the All-Star break. Fingers crossed we get more pitching!!
p.s. Cole Hamels has a mustache. It looks like a younger version of Tom Selleck.
New Player on the Team..
Drew Robinson... who is this kid? Four games with the Rangers and he has two home runs!! That's the way to make an impression! His batting average is .273 and has 3 RBI's (Runs Batted In - means 3 guys scored because of his hit).
What all can Robinson do? Read this quick article. He's a great pick up with all of the injuries we have going on.
After the Rangers rest during the break... here are the teams we'll face in the second half.

MLB All-Star Game
Half-time for Baseball...
The best part of All-Star weekend is the Home Run Derby.
Most people think Aaron Judge will win for the AL, and Giancarlo Stanton will win for the NL. Stanton won last year, and this year the HR Derby is in his home park... in Miami! (Did you just think of the Will Smith song? Me too). My money is on Judge! The Yankee.
The All-Star game is cute, and usually is competitive. The winner used to get home field advantage during the World Series. For example, if the American League won, and the Rangers went to the World Series, we would start the first two games at Home.
In 2017, they changed the rules for home field advantage. It will go to the winner of the League with the highest at Home winning record. Boring.
When is the Home Run Derby?
Monday, July 10th, 7 PM CST
Set your DVR!!!
And when is the All-Star Game?
Tuesday, July 11th, 6:30 PM CST
(Tuesday is also Amazon Prime Day. Happy shopping to all of you and happy working to me). #thankfultohaveajob
What is going on Wednesday night? Am I planning your week for you? Maybe?
The ESPYS are on!! And Peyton Manning is hosting! Set your DVR for 7 PM CST. If you want to vote for awards, click here.
Do you see what I am writing??? Football news??? Oh yeah.
Training camp officially starts in two weeks, July 22nd in Oxnard, CA! I'm so excited!!
We officially signed every rookie we drafted in April!! We have a Secondary!! How good are they? We'll see soon enough!
We kick off our season with a "friendly" vs. the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, August 3rd in Canton, OH. Hall of Fame Weekend. Where Jerry Jones will be inducted, and is wife will be his introducer. Good times.
Our first Pre-season game is on Saturday, August 12th vs. the Los Angeles Rams, 8 PM CST.
One sad note, David Irving, Offensive Tackle (OT), the guy you saw up in every defenders grill in 2016, is suspended for the first four games of the regular season for "performance enhancing drugs" - this stinks! I hope he's as good off the drugs as he was on them! C'mon man!
And here's a good article on top players for this season. Don't worry, Dak and Zeke made the list. Read on.
More to come... Get your popcorn ready!

Random Info:
Y'all. Life is about changes, right?
One day, you're going along, and all the sudden, you're allergic to gluten. Ha!
No seriously. It's a real thing. I've joked about it for a while, but now it's gotten personal. It's a real deal to have Hashimoto's thyroid disease and this whole gluten allergy thing.
But, I've found a fun way to make food!! Yes, even without gluten!
One of the restaurants we have in Dallas serves amazing dishes that are mostly gluten free and semi-paleo. I decided to make my own dish at home.
Ingredients:
Grass fed ground beef
1/2 sweet potato
Fresh Spinach
1 egg
1/4 avocado
Avocado Oil
salt/pepper
Cholula
Directions:
1. Grate the sweet potato using a cheese grater. Place avocado oil in small pan on medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and sauté for a few minutes.
2. Cook beef patty on grill to your liking (I used my William Sonoma grill, but I live in an apt).
3. While the burger is cooking, add spinach to the sweet potato hash, drizzle a little more avocado oil, if needed, cover with lid and turn on low. Stir occasionally until fully cooked.
4. Use small pan (or same pan after you've finished the sweet potato hash), and cook a fried egg, or scrambled.
5. Slice fresh avocado.
6. Place burger on a plate. Cover with sweet potato and spinach hash. Place fried egg on top of hash. Place avocado on top of the egg. Drizzle Cholula if you like spice, or you can add mustard or hot sauce. If you are simple, pink Himalayan salt and a peppercorn grinder will do just fine!
ENJOY!
