Perhaps it should be renamed the Department of Mule Killing.

I fully expect someone to break CeeDee Lamb completely in half at some point.

The Texas secondary is just horrible.

Dear Jerry Jones - Notice how aggravating that first word makes this statement.

When I was with the Rams a million years ago, there was a guy in the press box providing live stats as the game progressed.

That person should be an official scorer like baseball. Tagging a receiver bobble that results in a INT as an error on the guy who missed the catch and not the QB.

CY should move heaven and Earth to counter this. Give the man a share of the team. A seat on the Arlington city council. Keep his soft drink machine stocked in perpetuity...

Seriously, why take a dead-end job like that? Arte's had 20 years of golden lineups that haven't done squat.

Beaten by a team of Star Wars cosplayers. They were good. I fully expected one of them to get a hand chopped off at some point.

Ours was today. We came in second in the group contest.

Since it's such a valuable distraction, I think it should be christened the Epstein Ballroom, so we don't forget.

Don't know how much you pay attention to farm prices, but a farmer gets about the same for a bushel of wheat today as they did in 2015.
If your groceries are getting more expensive, it ain't because of the farmer.

I bury my head in writing from the last out of the Series until pitchers and catchers report.

There's a rhythm to baseball that makes life better.

Why are they bunting up five runs?

There are few things more fun than scoreboard watching in September.

Wasn't he also Valorum, Last Chancellor of the Old Republic?

Dallas! This Saturday! It's the first time I’ve done a book signing in forever. I’m jazzed to be a part of the Half Price Books Local Author Crawl on Aug 16th from 3-7 at the flagship HPB store off Central at NW Hwy in Dallas. It's me and 19 others from the DFW Writers Workshop, signing & reading

Eovaldi has a bad case of Rangeritis tonight. I'd hoped he was immune.

How is it that three of the names on this list pitched for the Rangers, but Texas is not one of the 14 teams Dick Mountain has played for?
I applaud Chris Young for not continuing the organization's tradition of putting Geritol in the Powerade bucket.

He doesn’t remember nominating Jerome Powell.

Some days it seems like it.

But as Rangers fan you get used to it.

Wiki: "Despite the name "Veterans on Patrol", its founder, Michael "Lewis Arthur" Meyer, is not a veteran..."

Obviously not a meteorologist either.

Books and stories speak differently to everyone. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.

Since he moved the ban another 90 days, does the nickname become Tik-TACO?

Field Marshal Homan made it very clear that anyone in the country without documentation was breaking the law. Grandmothers, infants, roofers, busboys, gardeners, students, lawyers, doctors...

If this comes as a surprise to people, it's because they were only hearing what they wanted to.

At the very least, they should have matching brown shirts.

Who needs the news? In my west of Fort Worth neighborhood, we were in the path of the Gordon storm, and every address on the street had the man of the house standing on the porch looking at the clouds.

The tornadoes missed us, but the F5 cliche came down hard.
