Let’s start with Friday and the disappointment that the Dallas Desperados have brought the Metroplex. Not since the fumbled field goal or the collapse against the Miami Heat has Dallas/Ft Worth be destroyed by a sporting event as when the Desperados after another fine regular season suffer another first round loss, by getting beaten by the New York Dragon 77-63. Okay maybe not. Most people in the city had no clue this was going on, but I have a strange affinity for the fringe sport. Yet I can’t get into soccer, I’m not sure what that says about me or soccer but that’s the way it is.
In NASCAR Kurt Busch wins at Loudon in the LENOX Industrial Tools 301. I didn’t get a chance to watch this race. Too bad because it sounds like it was a pretty good one. My guy Kyle Busch finished in 25th not so good, but he is still atop the points lead.
How about them Texas Rangers. They took 2 out of 3 from the Phillies. The big news is Chris Davis who came up Friday from AA Frisco and has contributed in big ways already. The cueshot first big league hit on Friday to his 2 homeruns in his second and third games. What I have really liked though was his defense. He has made some tough plays at first. I know Ron Washington has said that when Blaylock is ready he will take over 1st base duties, but if Davis Keeps playing this way the Homies better be ready to travel to wherever Hank gets traded.
GO RANGERS!!!
Chris Davis ain’t going back to Frisco unless he needs a new couch from IKEA!
