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!!!

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 6

GO COWBOYS!!! The Cowboys are 3-3... ( Wins are always the first number - Losses are the 2nd number ) - we're batting .500 folks! We Beat the Redskins!!! 16-31 :)  This was a great game!!! The Cowboys fought hard, and Tony Romo (our QB) played with a similar intensity as he did last week. ( The competition wasn't nearly as pressing, but he still got the job done! ) Good job Romo! He was also able to hit all of his WR's again! If the Offensive Line continues to give Romo time ( Cowboys fans have been whining about this for years ) - he should be able to produce a few more W's! ( "W" - Win )  ~ Dwayne Harris (WR) - this guy is fast! That's all you need to know. He plays on our Special Teams roster, and returns punts. He is always fast and can juke the defensive players very well. Scored a TD ( touchdown ) in this game and came close to scoring a second one! Props to Harris! ( "Special Teams" - so, there is the Offense, Defense and then the S...

Week 12: Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots ~ Dallas Mavs Luka ~ Thanksgiving and Black Friday Prep

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-4 (wins-losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. New England Patriots (away vs. home) Sunday, November 24th @ 3:25 PM CST This is the Super Bowl.  The team who has played in more Super Bowls than we'll ever see in a lifetime ( not really, but it feels like it ), is hosting the 6-4 Dallas Cowboys, in New England.  We'll take our small victory over another sub-par team last week vs. the Detroit Lions and their shockingly good back-up QB from the University of Florida, and raise you a legendary QB in Tom Brady.  Reality Check.  The moment I said, The Patriots, you thought... we're going to lose.  Yes. That is a highly probably scenario.  They have won six Super Bowl Championships, since 2001, and don't just talk about it every year like the Cowboys, they actually win it. Novel. Crazy. Something every team wishes they could do.  They win by beating you at your own game. The ultimate chess match. Good coaching, good QBing ( not ...
