Texas Rangers University Week ~ Mavs making deals ~ Shark Week

GO RANGERS!!! 41-41 
3rd in AL West - .500

The Rangers were on a spectacular win streak. Now they've lost 10 of their last 14 games. Not good. 

 Chi Chi, the pitcher I was so excited about has been sent back down to Triple A. (There is a "farm system in baseball" - Majors, Triple-A (Round Rock Express), Double-A (Frisco Rough Riders), and lower Class-A, etc). 

 Our bullpen (where the pitchers hang-out, warm-up, etc), got worked by the Angels. Pretty embarrassing. Especially since C.J. Wilson is beating us pretty good right now. (C.J. used to pitch for the Rangers, seems like an interesting fella).

 Good news... the All-Star break is coming up! Gives guys time to rest, take a mini-vacation and get their heads cleared before the second half of the season. 

 The Home Run Derby is on July 13th!! The best one is when Josh Hamilton hit 28 home runs in the last year of old Yankee Stadium.

GO COWBOYS!!!

As we get ready for the season... here's a fun slideshow from Dirk's Heroes Celebrity Baseball game... many Cowboys attended, including Dez Bryant. At least we know he'll play somewhere! :) 

Get ready for training camp... end of July!!! 

Check out the Dallas Cowboys schedule here.

GO MAVS!!! 

Mark Cuban and team (Chandler Parsons) have been making deals!!! Yes, it's the off-season for basketball, but this is when deals are made and the scene begins to set for the 2015-2016 season! 

 Seems like Parsons has been using the "phone a friend" option to assist in luring free agents to Dallas! These guys will be great additions to our team! We need a bit more energy out there and a great supporting cast for Dirk's final years! 

 New Acquisitions... 
1. Wesley Matthews - Shooting Guard
2. DeAndre Jordan - Center (replacing Tyson Chandler, and most likely a Franchise Player)
3. Jeremy Evans - dunk champion
4. Hoping to get Jeremy Lin from the Lakers

 Monte Ellis and Tyson Chandler will not be with the Mavs next season. Super sad for Tyson Chandler. I was so excited to have him a second time. But I know, it's a business.

Random Info:
It is officially Shark Week!! Set your DVR for the Discovery Channel every night and you'll never get in the ocean again!

I've only watched one show and it's crazy how close sharks get to the shore. They're just hanging out in 4 ft of water!! I love trying to surf and stand up paddle board, but may be doing that in a sand bottom lake from now on.

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!)  ...
