Loading tweets...I love the Rangers, but hate to drive. Since I live in University Park, just north of downtown Dallas, this means I attend very few Rangers games at the Ballpark in Arlington, 25 miles away. To me, the reward (see my Texas Rangers play in person) is not worth headaches associated with driving (i.e. traffic, …

Baseball in Big D
As someone who has had the opportunity to attend baseball games in some of the most historic parks (Wrigley, Fenway, and the old Yankee Stadium just to name a few), I’ve always dreamed of the day Dallas gets their downtown park and the excitement that comes along with it. Imagine being able to sneak out …

Beyond Belief
When I sat down to construct my 2011 reading list, I made a point to visit a few older books that I have been meaning to read. In fact, the first five books on my list fall into that category, among them two political pieces–Richard Ben Cramer’s What It Takes and David Brooks’ Bobos* in …

The Continuing Story of Dugout Ron
The theater of the absurd surrounding the Ron Washington’s ride on the “white horse,” continues to evolve into one of the strangest, most wheels-off sports story, in the history of Dallas, which considering the Dallas Cowboys, says a lot. Randy Galloway, a favorite target of Geoausch.Com, wrote a piece for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this …

Ron Washington v. Josh Hamilton
As the local sports talk shows begin to go heavy into Ron Washington talk, some of Washington’s defenders are starting to emerge. One of the more popular arguments among Wash’s defenders is to bring up Josh Hamilton–the Texas Rangers’ star outfielder who has had his own well documented struggles with drug abuse in the past, …

What's the Deal With Ron Washington
The news is breaking that Texas Rangers’ manager Ron Washington has either admitted to using cocaine, tested positive for cocaine use or both, depending on what source you read. Either way, it appears evident that Ron Washington used cocaine while serving as the leader of this ball club. As a lifelong Rangers’ fan, I am …

Rules for being a fan…
Last night the Dallas Mavericks recorded their 336 straight sell out. A couple of things made this game stand out from the rest. One, Dirk Nowitzki became the 34th player in NBA history, and the first not to have played college or high school ball in the U.S., to top the 20,000 point mark in …

What's your problem with Jerry?
First, I’d like to apologize to my loyal readers. I’m using August as a vacation of sorts, to regroup and reset my blog. I’ll have some very exciting news to share regarding a new blog I’m launching within the next few weeks, so stayed tune. Until then, football season is upon us and we need …

A Tale of Two Outfielders: Cruz v. Murphy
Last year, David Murphy emerged as a rising star in the Texas Rangers organization. The Josh Hamilton, “prodigal son” story overshadowed Murphy’s achievements for the majority of the season, but his stats don’t lie. Murphy hit .275, with 15 homers, 28 doubles and a .321 on-base percentage in his first full season in the majors. …

The Evil of Empire (of sports) comes to Dallas…
I’m not your typical sports fan. I love sports, but only if my teams are involved, either directly or indirectly. During football season, I care about only the Cowboys. I’ll watch other NFC East games, because I know the outcome will have a direct effect on the Cowboys’ in the standings, but I have no …
