Ty Cobb

The RANGERS win game 4, 2-1 and split the series

On how many NFL teams are asking themselves, “how did we let the Cowboys just walk out and sign Lae’el Collins?” King: â€œThat’s a great question. Give credit to the Cowboys. That was a stealth bombing. You know what’s amazing? I was thinking about this today, the Dallas Cowboys finished this draft, after the undrafted free agency thing, the Dallas Cowboys finished this draft with three of the top 20 players on their board. Now on their football board, let’s say that, because Byron Jones is going to be top-20 everything — great character, all that other stuff. Now La’el Collins, as a player, is a top-20 prospect, and certainly Randy Gregory as a player is a top-20 prospect. So the Cowboys, and when you think about it, and I got to figure it out — think about the money that they’re going to spend on Randy Gregory and La’el Collins and think that here are two guys who are going to be two of the top-20 talents on their roster come opening day. "And I bet combined that — I bet the average salary of those two guys this year is going to be a million dollars. If that. And so to me, the Cowboys caught a tremendous break in some ways. That is only if you believe that Randy Gregory is — in the Cowboys system and in the nest with the Cowboys, and I believe that what Dallas is going to do, I believe strongly that they are going to find a way to get everything about Randy Gregory to get taken care of — his off-the-field stuff, his mental issues, his marijuana issues — all that stuff. That they’re not just going to do some things for him, they’re going to figure out a system of care to take care of Randy Gregory. And again, I don’t know if it’s going to work; he could be too far gone. I have no idea. But I think that the Cowboys are probably going to put a system in place to give him a chance.”

RANGERS win, 8-7!!!

3 run HR by Choo!!! Game tied at 7

The RANGERS are starting to remind me of a bad high school team. They are finding new ways to lose games each night. They just gave up a run by hitting a batter, on an 0-2 count, with bases loaded. Then, on the next at bat, caught the runner at 3rd in a run down only to have the catcher throw the ball into left field to give up a run.

A fighter that is 47-0 is not afraid. It's a mental game.

seattle completes the sweep with a 5-2 win.

I remember T.O. hiding a sharpie in his sock, but where exactly did she have the beer stashed?

WOW, that was pretty impressive!!!

I'm really starting to like Damarious Randall, safety from Arizona St.  I wouldn't mind seeing the COWBOYS trade back and end up with 2 second round picks.  Take best available with the 1st, 2nd round pick then draft Randall with their 2nd, 2nd round pick.  Of course, all of this is speculation that he will still be around.     Biggest upside: Arizona State's Damarious Randall. Randall (5-11, 196) supposedly is rocketing up draft boards; not bad for a guy who went to junior college to play baseball, not football. Randall is from Pensacola, Fla., and played baseball at Butler County (Kan.) CC in 2011. He moved to Mesa (Ariz.) CC in 2012 and played both cornerback and safety. He started for the past two seasons as a safety at Arizona State, and his coverage skills are a big selling point. He played in a highly aggressive defensive scheme at Arizona State, which asks all of its defensive backs to spend a lot of their time in man coverage. He has good ball skills (nine picks in junior college, six in two seasons at ASU) and good speed (4.46 in the 40). The thought is that once he settles in to a "normal" defensive scheme, his coverage skills will be put to good use as a free safety.

GAME 3 tonight at 7:05 The 7-13 RANGERS will be looking to avoid the sweep against the 9-11 mariners.   Pitching probables   sea: Felix Hernandez (3-0, 1.61 ERA)   TEX: Wandy Rodriguez (0-0, 1.80 ERA)
