Hello Celebritys

Congrats to the Texas Rangers for advancing to the World Series. As you know, I am not a fan of theirs or baseball, but I honestly never thought I would see them succeed. They have been so bad for so long that it’s hard to come to reality with how good they are this season.

I have been going to Rangers games with my Dad since the days at the old Arlington Stadium. I’ve been to numerous games at the Ballpark also, mainly to see the opposing players like Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas, Manny Ramirez, etc…and they have always just been bad for the most part.

I was at one of the playoff games in 1996 and went to Game 1 of the ALCS this year. They haven’t been able to pull me in as a fan, but I am happy for all the true Ranger fans that have stuck with the team for so long. I know a lot of people have wanted this for a long time, and it’s cool to actually see this team succeed.

I hope the Giants win the NLCS because I really like Tim Lincecum and would like to see a Lincecum/Cliff Lee matchup in Game 1.

Now, can we get back to TCU Football? Or how about the Mavs? They start later this week. At least the Rangers closed it out tonight and there isn’t a game 7 tomorrow to take away from the sold out TCU game.

If you plan on being in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area on Saturday, be advised because the traffic will most likely be terrible. If my attendance predictions are correct, there could be around 250,000 people attending sporting events in the Metroplex on Saturday. Check out the schedule...

- 11:00 AM- Texas Tech vs. Baylor at the Cotton Bowl

- 2:30 PM- TCU vs. Wyoming at Amon Carter Stadium

- 2:30 PM- Arkansas vs. Texas A&M at Cowboys Stadium

- 4:05 PM- Rangers vs. Rays at The Ballpark in Arlington

- 6:00 PM- UNT vs. Arkansas State at Fouts Field

- 7:00 PM- SMU vs. Tulsa at Ford Stadium

Ok, as great as this summer has been for sports, I need it to be over. It started off great with all the college football realignment rumors, and then we had NBA free agency, the World Cup, and couple other things I am forgetting right now. All of that was great and entertaining. I am bored now though.

Baseball is not interesting and does not entertain me. I hope the Rangers have success, and I hope they make a deep playoff run, but I just can’t get into them. I can’t take it anymore! I need football season to get here ASAP!!

Cowboys training camp gets underway on Saturday, TCU starts up at the beginning of August, and that helps some, but it still doesn’t fill the void of real games. I need some action, because this is getting boring.

This is a day I always dread. This day starts what is the longest, most boring sports season in all of sports...Opening Day of the Major League Baseball season.

I will never get peoples fascination with baseball. If you like playing it, that is one thing, but I just don’t see how people sit down and watch a baseball game. It is the slowest, longest, most boring, most drawn out thing I have ever seen. Hey, let me sit around while it takes you 15 minutes to walk from the bullpen, then throw 35 warm up pitches. Weren’t you just warming up in the bullpen?

I also HATE that there is no time limit. Yes, they have nine innings, but those nine innings could take two hours or six days. You never know.

Add in the fact that it’s the most individualistic team sport there is, and my interest level drops way below zero.

I’ve been saying that this is THE worse day in sports, but it can be debatable. Another terrible day in sports is when the NBA and NHL seasons are over and it’s just baseball all..summer…longggg…. There are no other sports going on so it is all you see on SportsCenter and they run that damn Baseball Tonight show all the time. I CAN’T HANDLE IT!!

And...one more just for fun.

This is almost the perfect sports weekend for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, but there are a couple of key things missing to make it totally complete.

R.J. and Wally talked about this some on GameNight this week. They said that the Cowboys should play at home the same weekend as Texas/OU because it would add another attraction to what people could do when they came to town. I think it is kind of a cool idea, but already there are LOTS of sports to take in around here this weekend.

Friday night:

- 7:30 PM- Stars vs. Bruins @ the AAC

Saturday:

- 11:00 AM: Texas/OU

- 3:00 PM TCU vs. Colorado State @ Amon G. Carter Stadium

- 7:00 PM: SMU vs. Navy @ Gerald J. Ford Stadium

- 7:30 PM: Mavericks vs. Cavs @ the AAC

Now wouldn’t it top everything off right if there were a Cowboys game to finish off the weekend? That is a lot of good sporting events in a 72 hour period. It would also be nice if the Rangers would actually make it to the playoffs so we could add them to the list sometime.
