GO RANGERS !!! 76-83 9th in the AL (American League) 4th in the AL West - out of 5 teams OUT of the Wild Card I will refrain from singing my annual rendition of " It's so hard, to say goodbye, to yesterday, " by Boys II Men. I am sad. I will attend my last Rangers game of the Season Friday night. I will hold my own moment of silence. Remember the good times with my family and friends. And wish that next year, or another year soon, will remind of me of the brief taste we got of victory in 2010 and 2011.  We can't live in the past, but it would be nice to WIN in the present.  The players feel this way more than the fans do. So, here's to next year!  Beltre, if you still love us, we'd love for you to stay!! It was one of the coolest things to see you hit 2,998, 2,999, and 3,000! Congratulations, Sir! You make watching baseball fun!  Here are the final games. If you can make it out, the weather is going to be gorgeous! I...

COWBOYS 1-1  (wins-losses) Monday, September 25th Dallas Cowboys vs. Arizona Cardinals  (home team is second) 7:30 PM CST on ESPN Yeah. We are no longer “ undefeated .” I overreacted. Mark it down. I got excited. Now I'm eating humble pie, like the rest of you Cowboys fans. #CowboysNation Denver shut us down. It was like Spud Webb going one on one vs. Shaq. And Spud could dunk!! Have you ever heard the golf quote... " The most important shot is your next shot ." My Dad mentions this to me quite often, as I shoot 4 over par. Don't worry, we're working on it. As for the Dallas Cowboys, they get another shot. They have a long week to practice, since they don't play until Monday night. Any bad taste the have in their mouth from Denver needs to be shaken off and learned from quickly. Arizona Cardinals... should we win this match-up? Yes. ~ They have the weapons to win. Kind of like the Cowboys do. Their WR's ( wide receivers ...

COWBOYS 1-0  (wins-losses) Sunday, September 17th Dallas Cowboys vs. Denver Broncos  (home team is second) 3:25 PM CST on FOX The Cowboys are undefeated this season.  What does " undefeated " mean? It is when a team/player has a big zero in the loss column. Think of the song by DJ Khaled, " All I do is win, win, win, no matter what ?"  ( yes, I had to google the dude who wrote it... but you have to watch  Emma Stone sing it on Jimmy Fallon  - click the link and start at 5 minutes in, or watch the whole thing, she's pretty funny ).  Should I be getting excited about being 1-0, and calling us UNDEFEATED? Well, I got to spend time with my nephew after his flag football game today, his team is 2-0, and the first thing he said when he ran off the field is, " Aunt Linds, we're UNDEFEATED. " So, I'm going with it! Smart kid!  We play the Denver Broncos this week, in Denver!  It will be great to go in there with a win...

The season opener was on Thursday night, between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots. I heard good things in the off-season about the Chiefs defense, so I chose them in my NFL pick'em league. Good thing I did! They caught the Patriots in a reverse " hangover "...
