OK, so the Rangers aren't looking so good. But alas, so goes the wide world of sports. We have a number of things to talk about. First, the Rangers suck. They have now tied a major league record for most consecutive games where the loosing team scores 5 or more runs. In case you haven't noticed, the Strangers have now lost 10 million in a row. But not is all lost. Rangers can still put together a good season and finish over 500 again for a second straight season, finish a disappointing 3rd in the division and then recoup for a better next season. As it goes, "there's next year."
Now, the Cowboys are starting their first preseason tonight. Against the Cards. Preseason doesn't justify predictions due to who-is-playing-for-how-long, means Joe Blow will get more snaps due to nobody knows who Joe is, including the coach. Hence, preseason.
Braves Rock, once again. I can always depend on the Braves to take care of enough business to go Post!
So, for fun, I shall make predictions for the Braves games, Ranger Games, & Cowboys
Sunday, August 14th -
Braves:
My take: The Braves. Hampton to rebound from his last start against the Mets and will take charge against the D-Backs. Score: 7-3
Rangers:
My take: Yankees. Rangers have lost 6 in a row, and Chacon is hot right now. Did very well against the WSox - 3 hits and 1 run in seven innings for a loss. Score: 6-2 (Rangers will not take the MLB record for 7 straight over 5 or more runs in a loss)
Astros:
My take: Pirates. Astros have been coming on strong all year, at least since the slow start, they have maintained strength. Still the Pirates have a better starter on the hill and Williams is strong on the road. Score: 5-1
Cowboys:
My take: Cowboys. Why not. I think the 'boys will be playing a lot of the starters to get a good feel of what they have before them. Cards? Well, look at the history. 'Nuff Said. Score: 24-7
Panthers:
My take: 'Skins. Panthers struggled last year, not too sure how they look now, so I guess I need to do my homework a little more. However, a shoot from the hip take would be the skins. They have had more press this offseason, and that is generally a good thing. Score: 17-14
