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

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  Ton

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.   No,
