You remember back in October when I bragged on Trey for selling so much popcorn? And how he was the #2 seller – for the second year in a row – in our pack? Well, apparently Circle 10 Council noticed, too. And because of his efforts, Trey won a day of fun at Pizza Hut… Continue reading Transformed!

Onward and Upward
Back in August, I posted about signing the kids up for soccer this fall and how Crisana was convinced she was going to play in pink cleats. Here it is, now November, with only two games left in the season, and I have yet to post a single picture or game description. And what’s worse,… Continue reading Onward and Upward
The Comeback Kids, Redux
It’s amazing. Really, truly amazing. The Rangers are 5 games over .500 and have beaten the dreaded Yankees in Arlington for the first time in 3 years. And what a win it was! After falling to a quick 3-0 deficit, the Rangers slowly chipped back and built a 5-4 lead. But in the bottom of… Continue reading The Comeback Kids, Redux
Night of the Long Ball
Last night’s Home Run Derby is one that is sure to be talked about for years to come. And the name I am sure will be mentioned most often in those discussions will be Josh Hamilton. He’s no stranger to the handful of us who faithfully follow the Rangers. His on-field achievements in this first… Continue reading Night of the Long Ball
The Comeback Kids
This has been the story of the Rangers this year. They started the season abysmally and fell into a pit which had many fans, including myself, counting the Rangers out before the end of April.But slowly and methodically, the Rangers have been turning this season around. First, they climbed out of the cellar of the… Continue reading The Comeback Kids
Word Problems
I hated word problems in school. I always got them wrong. Take this, for example:  On Saturday, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim played the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Angels had 5 hits. The Dodgers had none. Who won the game? After spending hours upon hours mulling this one over, no doubt I would have… Continue reading Word Problems
Go Green!
 No, I’m not endorsing some type of ecologically-friendly lifestyle. Rather I am basking in the glory that is the Boston Celtics winning their 17th NBA title. It’s been 22 years since their last title, and the years in between have been mostly forgettable especially in recent history. But the wait was worth it! The… Continue reading Go Green!
Slip Sliding Away
While we were sweating it out with a couple thousand other scouts and their families in the hot Texas summer, this is what the Rangers were doing at their game at Shea Stadium: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqAzRANz2w4[/youtube] I think they had a whole lot more fun.
And all is right with the world once again
The Rangers are back to .500, and the Celtics won Game 1 of the NBA playoffs against the Lakers last night. Ahh…life is good.
A Rough (riders) Day
It was a Rough day…for the San Antonio Missions. They were no-hit by our Frisco Roughriders! Today, the Roughriders played a doubleheader against the San Antonio Missions, both AA affiliates of the AL West (the Roughriders being the AA affiliate of our Texas Rangers). Because of that, the first game was only 7 innings, but… Continue reading A Rough (riders) Day
