Today is Chicago’s day. No doubt about that. The forever-downtrodden Cubs’ organization and their beleaguered fans are celebrating the quenching of the 108-year fire after the Game 7 World Series win, one that some are calling the best baseball game ever played. But a whole nation of baseball fans seemed…
The first six games of the Cowboys 2016 season have gone better than anyone possibly could’ve hoped. Despite Tony Romo not taking a snap after injuring his back during his first preseason game and Dez Bryant having failed to make much of an impact thanks to a knee fracture suffered…
The Cowboys, somehow, have stumbled into the best type of quarterback controversy: They have two really good ones. Thanks to Tony Romo’s back injury in the preseason, 2016 fourth round pick Dak Prescott got a chance and he’s run with it, playing largely mistake-free football while leading the Cowboys to…
The Rangers’ 2016 playoff journey is over. It lasted all of four days. Despite finishing the regular season at an American League-best 95-67, the 2016 Rangers, just like the 43 Rangers clubs that preceded them, will not win the last game of the MLB season and the World Series championship…
Major League Baseball, as it did in 2010, 2011 and 2015, and as it will the next time the Rangers make the playoffs and aren’t playing the Yankees or Red Sox, has screwed DFW baseball fans again. The Rangers will start their 2016 playoff journey with a couple of weekday…
The Rangers lost Sunday afternoon. The Rays beat them 6-4, and the Rangers got exactly one extra-base hit, a home run from catcher Jonathan Lucroy, in a thoroughly uninspiring performance. None of it mattered. Thanks to a win Friday night behind a dominant, 12-strikeout performance from Yu Darvish, the Rangers…
Now we know why Dez Bryant’s knee diagnosis took so long. The Cowboys wide receiver, injured on the second play of the game against the Bears on Sunday night, skipped out and missed a team meeting, an MRI and other medical treatment early this week. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett offered…
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has a hairline fracture in his right tibia. Bryant suffered the injury during the first quarter of the Cowboys 31-17 win over the Bears on Sunday night when his leg caught underneath him while being dragged down behind by Bears linebacker Christian Jones. Bryant…
Friday night, the Rangers clinched the American League West title for the second consecutive season. It was the team’s fourth division championship in seven seasons. The Rangers are in the middle of the deepest purple patch in club history, but still searching for their first World Series title. The 2016…
Forbes’ newly released NFL franchise values confirm something that you know in your head is true, no matter what your heart says: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a genius. His Cowboys, according to the magazine, are worth $4.2 billion, up five percent from 2015. The Cowboys are the most valuable…
Here we are, two days before the Cowboys kick off 2016 against the Giants on Sunday afternoon, and it’s impossible to know how to feel. Sure, the offensive unit that will line up against the G-Men looked explosive throughout the preseason, and will have full-strength Dez Bryant for the first…
Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor has seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. He’s been a Twitter scapegoat and a social media super hero. He’s made Adrian Beltre slap him playfully on the cheek for his second baserunning mistake in one night and sent Rangers fans home…
After Thursday night’s preseason game against the Seahawks, it seemed like the Cowboys, and Tony Romo, had gotten away with one. Despite Romo’s getting knocked out of the game three plays in by a Cliff Avril hit, the injury to Romo’s back wasn’t serious, according to Romo and Cowboys Head…
Josh Hamilton, the most talented player to ever wear a Rangers uniform, has been released by the team, effective Tuesday afternoon. Hamilton’s second stint with the Rangers ended with his being placed on unconditional release waivers following his not playing a game in 2016 due to injury. The move ensures…
The case against Jerry Jones is easy to make. Through admitted hubris, Jones destroyed the greatest Cowboys team of all time when he fired Jimmy Johnson after the 1993 season. He’s meddled constantly, ruining drafts and playoff chances more times than one can count on two hands. Jones might have…
The most important takeaway from the Dallas Cowboys’ 28-24 loss to the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night is simply that football is back. The result doesn’t really matter, although it had to feel good for the nearly 90,000 fans who crammed into the Los Angeles Coliseum to celebrate the return…
After just 289 games, Prince Fielder’s career with the Texas Rangers is over. As first reported by Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, the hulking designated hitter will announce Wednesday that he is physically unable to continue playing, thanks to a damaged back that’s necessitated two disc fusion surgeries in the last…
The Rangers have sold out to win the 2016 World Series. Monday afternoon, already leading the American League West by six games and just before Major League Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline, the team acquired outfielder Carlos Beltran from the New York Yankees. They also dealt for catcher Jonathan Lucroy and…
Prince Fielder is not going to take another turn at bat for the 2016 Rangers. The hulking designated hitter has a herniated disc in his neck, and doctors have recommended that he get surgery to fix it, the team announced Monday afternoon. It’s the second time in his three years…
Early Sunday afternoon, a Dodge van crashed into the Dallas Cowboys team bus as the van tried to make a left turn across traffic at the intersection of Pierce Ferry Road and State Route 93 just north of Kingman, Arizona. All four of the van’s passengers were killed. Each of the…
Following a disappointing 5-4 rubber-game loss to the Twins in Minnesota Sunday afternoon, the Rangers made the best of the situation and headed to their three-game set in Boston dressed in what the sartorially challenged might call “style.” There is enough going on in this photo to fill a blog…
When the Rangers and Arlington announced a plan for the team to play in new, climate-controlled digs as early as 2021, it seemed too soon. Globe Life Park — formerly The Ballpark in Arlington, Ameriquest Field and Rangers Ballpark in Arlington — had just turned 22 and wouldn’t be 30…
