Weekend Preview

GO RANGERS!!!

Games against Oakland start tonight! It's a 3 game series (as most are in baseball). 

 ***WE NEED TO WIN THESE GAMES!!!!***

 We are now 3.5 games behind Oakland for the lead and a spot in the playoffs! We have to win to get even with them! 

 Derek Holland is "on the mound" tonight (he's the pitcher... get it... pitching mound... guy "on the mound" - pitcher...) For the full pitching line up - check out my last post...

 We are still missing a few of our "big bats" going into this series... but if Elvis Andrus and Ian Kinsler can get on base and Adrian Beltre can hit them home... we may survive! Come on Rangers! ("big bats" - guys that are clutch hitters in a pressure situation - hit home-runs - possibly a grand-slam, etc.)

 Oh and if you're going to the game... please review the "Random Info" section from my last post. This is critical information!! ("anti-wave" tips) - Ladies - if you're on a date - and the dude you're with stands up to do the wave... it may be a "deal-breaker" #justsayin

 GO DALLAS COWBOYS!!! 

Well - since Josh Hamilton dubbed us a "Football Town" and not a "Baseball Town"... I will oblige him and give you the Week 2 Preview for the Cowboys! (I actually still like Hamilton - just thought I'd throw in a bit of history)

 The Cowboys play the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at 12:00 PM!!! The Game is in KC!!! If you go to the game... please wear blue and white... NO PINK! Only team colors. This is mandatory! We are not Jessica Simpson. (no offense) :)

 Also, since the KC Chiefs have a much better Defense than the New York Giants... the Cowboys Offense has to step it up a notch! KC is going to put a lot of pressure on our Offensive Line (the guys who block for Romo - our Quarterback). Smart play-calling is going to win this game!

 Key Players: 
~ Tony Romo (QB - #9) - He's our QB - he's always a key player! ha! 
~ Jason Witten (TE - #82) - stud - #2 receiver! (Dez Bryant is still #1 - hurt foot and all)
~ DeMarco Murray (RB (running back) - #29) - hopefully he can slide through KC's defensive line!!! 
~ All of our Defense!!! (Anthony Spencer - dude who plays on the opposite side of Demarcus Ware - he is recovering from a surgery during the off-season, but may show up for a few downs) ("downs"... I'll explain that later - if you say it - dudes will know what you mean) :) 

My pick... Cowboys win!!! :) 28 - 14 (score) 

 Random Info:
You MUST watch the Denver Broncos vs New York Giants game! 3:15 PM - it is on CBS!!! Peyton Manning vs Eli Manning... brother vs brother! This a great duel! You have to tune in for a bit! Peyton Manning is on a quest to win the Super Bowl this year... dude is aging and he is running out of time. (clearly - he's the older brother!) He used to play for the Indianapolis Colts! Good times!

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!)  ...
