Rangers lose to Pirates... Game 1

GO RANGERS!!!

Game 1 vs Pirates - Rangers lose...

Yu Darvish is back on track and lowered his ERA to 2.84 (remember... Earned Runs Average: dudes on the other team who have gotten on base while Darvish is pitching - the lower the number the better - less dudes on base = less runs that can score)

Player of the Game:
~ ELVIS ANDRUS!!!
He stole his 39th base!!! Third in the League!

**stealing a base isn't literal - it is when a player runs from one base to another when the ball has NOT been hit by the batter... usually fast players are the best at timing the pitcher on this!** (if you've ever seen the movie "Hook" - there's a scene where the Pirates are playing baseball with Peter Banning's son, Jack... a Pirate steals second base and they shoot him... that would be literal!)

Tomorrow night... Martin Perez is pitching... bring it! :)

Opposing Team Warning: Andrew McCutchen - outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates - he's an awesome player - when he gets up to bat - pray he strikes out!

Random Info:
~ Alex Rios is an aesthetically pleasing addition to the Texas Rangers roster this season... #justsayin - thank you for the trade Chicago White Sox

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 ...
