Rangers and Longhorns

I had so hoped to be watching playoff games this year at The Ballpark (I still refuse to call it by it's new name). We are sharing tickets with a group of people and have enjoyed going to the games and at one point not long ago, the prospects of the Rangers making the playoffs looked pretty good. Even though they beat Oakland last night, it seems they are just playing out the season. It will be an interesting off-season. Michael Young needs to be locked up with a new contract because they have him for little money right now - that won't be the case very long. Is Gary Matthews Jr. the real deal or a one year wonder? Can Carlos Lee make this a better team?

The Longhorns played a meaningful game against North Texas last weekend (not) in preparation for the Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday. So how do the 'Horns celebrate such an illustrious win (not) over the Mean Green? Well, a starting cornerback thought smoking pot was a good idea apparently. Since he was arrested for marijuana AND gun possession, he may not be thinking it was such a good idea now. Yes, yes, there may have been a mistake and we don't know all the facts yet but it doesn't look good for the young man.

Go Rangers! Go Longhorns! For one team, it is playing the rest of the season to get by. For the other, it is playing the rest of the season without anyone else getting high.

I kind of wish the Longhorns didn't have such an important game this early in the season (Ohio State). I look forward to watching it next week.

Sorry about your well problem. I was not aware of it. Hopefully, we will get a good 6-8 inch gulley-washer that will fill up the reservoirs and ground water.
