Boise State in Good Shape for a BCS Championship

You think I’m crazy, right? Let me tell you why I’m not, and then you can tell me why. Boise State is at No. 5 and still going strong...

Kevin Millwood Reaches 180IP

Well, it looks like Millwood just got his guaranteed contract at 12 million for next year. He went seven innings tonight against Oakland. I don’t care if he pitches like this for the rest of the year or even next year...

Kevin Millwood Running Out of Gas

Right when it appeared Kevin Millwood would finally pitch to the level of his contract, bad stuff has begun to happen. The Rangers ace has quite simply run out of gas. Since the All Star Break Kevin Millwood has pitched awful, with a 5...

Scott Feldman Does It Again in Rangers Sweep Versus Indians

If I didn't know any better I would say Scott Feldman deserves some awards. This guy has been one of the most consistent and underrated pitchers in baseball all season. He now has 16 wins and 12 wins on the road, a Ranger record...

Rangers Have Favorable Schedule

The Texas Rangers are entering an easy part of the schedule in which they must win practically every game. At this time of year, it's essential to rack up the wins against easy opponents to avoid the pressure against the tough division opponents...

North Texas-Ball State: UNT Impressive With 20-10 Victory

North Texas appears to have turned the corner after tonight’s 20-10 national broadcast victory over Ball State. What a big victory it was too. I’ve never seen things look so good on the field for North Texas...

Who Plays First Base For The Texas Rangers In The Future?

It appears there is a position battle at first base for the Texas Rangers once again, and with the same players too. The Rangers have been trying to find a good first baseman for a while, and ...

Its Time to Consider Letting Washington Go From Rangers

Few things in baseball really get me upset, but tonight was definitely one of them. The same instance didn't happen once, not twice, but more than three times in one game. All of them are the fault of manager Ron Washington...

Rangers Finally Have Pitching

Yes, it’s true the Texas Rangers finally have pitching. Although I would stop short of calling it great, it is certainly good. Look at the Rangers have done since the All Star Break in the pitching department...

Michael Young Clutch Hitting on the Decline

Historically, the Texas Rangers have been one of the best clutch hitting teams in baseball. Michael Young has taken the lead in that department, especially in the All Star Game...

Dallas Cowboys Hoping One Player Fills Major Hole

Despite a major hole on the Dallas Cowboys, many believe the team maybe one of the best in football. This hole could easily become a major issue early in the season, or it could drive the team to a Super Bowl Championship...

Player Spotlight: Frank Francisco

This year, Frank Francisco has put up monstrous numbers in the closer position. The surprising thing is how little attention he seems to be getting. I know he plays for the Texas Rangers and has been injured, but this guy’s numbers are still crazy..

My One-on-One with Quarterback Jon Kitna

Almost everyone would assume Tony Romo has a lock on the starting quarterback job with the Dallas Cowboys. That’s not the truth...

Fear the Texas Rangers

It’s officially time to fear the Texas Rangers, although it has taken almost the whole decade. There is not a single reason why the Rangers are in first place right now, it’s a combination of everything...

The Rally Cap Is Back

Over the last two nights, I was fortunate enough to make it to consecutive baseball games in Arlington. It’s rare for me to get the chance to go on consecutive days these days, but the games did not disappoint in the slightest bit...

Previewing the NFC East

The four teams in the NFC East all experienced their ups and downs last season. In the end, not one team finished with a losing season. Only two of the divisions did that in all of football...

The New Dallas Cowboys Playbook

In the previous seasons, the Cowboys have relied heavily on the passing attack. The rushing attack has been toward the bottom in the league in several categories. That means the Cowboys had a very unbalanced offensive attack...

Texas Rangers Offense Failing Kevin Millwood

Believe it or not, Kevin Millwood is pitching like an ace this year. The scary thing is his numbers could be even better if the Rangers offense would help. After Saturday’s performance Millwood’s record is at 3-3 with a 2...
