Overreaction Monday - Week 2

GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! 

Mini-recap... Dallas lost to the Kansas City Chiefs this yesterday! We are now 1-1. (1 Win - 1 Loss)

 Alex Smith (KC's QB - quarterback) did a bit of running and spinning to try and confuse our Defense... but they held their own for most of the game! And it's totally weird seeing Andy Reid in Kansas City red!! He used to be the head coach for the Philadelphia Eagles (our least favorite team ever)!!! This is his first year with KC and he's already 2-0! 

 As for Tony Romo (our QB) and the Offense... they looked out of rhythm! Romo had his ribs bruised last week during the game... he played last year with broken ribs... I know he's not in as much pain as last year, but the 4th quarter looked like he was feeling it! Pray dude heals by next Sunday! 

 We had two fumbles that gave great "field position" for the Chiefs! Overall - the Kansas City Defense did what we thought they would do! Kept us off-balance, which shut-down our run game and forced us to throw the ball! (field position - where the ball is on the field... 40 yard line, 20 yard line, etc... the closer we gave it to them near their End Zone - the easier they would score - which they did!) 

 We play the St. Louis Rams next Sunday at Noon - look for my preview later in the week! 


 GO RANGERS!!!

And... the Rangers got SWEPT by the Oakland A's on Sunday. I never thought I would be explaining or using the words sweep, swept so often in this blog! Terrible! 

 Very little to say about this past series, except that their hitting was terrible... non-existent! Pitching was decent the past two games, but our line-up couldn't get their bats going! 

 **Side Note - Jed Lowrie on the Oakland A's is also a photographer... everyone gets to have two life dreams... I guess! JL4 photography **

 We are now 6.5 games back from Oakland in the chase for the playoffs. I am not sure it's going to happen for us this year folks... but we don't have to give up just yet! We typically play well "on the road" - so lets see how this upcoming series goes! (on the road - means its NOT a home game) 

This coming week - we start a 4 game series against the Tampa Bay Rays! Here's the pitching line-up! 

 SEPTEMBER 16, 6:10 PM CT - MONDAY
Matt Garza - 4.46 era

SEPTEMBER 17, 6:10 PM CT - TUESDAY
NICK TEPESCH - 4.84 era

SEPTEMBER 18, 6:10 PM CT - WEDNESDAY
DEREK HOLLAND - 3.40 era

SEPTEMBER 19, 6:10 PM CT - THURSDAY
YU DARVISH - 2.79 era

All of these pitchers are more than capable of holding off the Rays - if our Offense can "put runs on the board!" (score runs - the big board in the outfield - when you score - numbers go on it when a dude scores a run... etc) 

The next weeks games are not in Arlington... so if you happen to be out of town... and end up at a game in Florida - once again... cheer loudly and only wear team colors - no PINK!!! :) 

Random Info:
~ I told yall to watch the Broncos vs Giants game on Sunday... Peyton Manning is on a quest to win the Super Bowl this year... keep an eye on him! Many think he is weaker after having nerve surgery on his neck two years ago... but he looks more than fine to me! Dude dominated the last two games! Bring it! 

 ~ Aaron Rodgers (QB for Green Bay Packers) got me 49 pts in my fantasy league this week... game on! woohooo!!!

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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

Rangers lose Game 1

GO RANGERS!!! Rangers lose to the Kansas City Royals, 2-1. Their pitching was spectacular. Our pitching wasn't too bad, but yet again, we couldn't hit against Santana! (that was KC's pitcher) The Rangers are 7 games behind Oakland to win the Division. Clearly we probably won't catch up to them, but we can still get a Wild Card spot if they ever start winning consistently!  Game 2 in KC is tomorrow night - Matt Garza is pitching for the Rangers!  Cheer Loudly!  GO COWBOYS!!! 12:00 PM - this Sunday - St. Louis Rams vs Dallas Cowboys.  Enjoy your family, friends and some football!!! :) "Day of Rest" Random Info: The two teams who have already secured a spot in the Playoffs are:  ~ Boston Red Sox (we used to have Mike Napoli  - he is a great Home Run hitter and now plays for Boston... his beard fits in perfectly there)  ~ LA Dodgers (We like their Manager - Don Mattingly  - he used to play for the NY Yankees back in the day!)  ...
