You watch a bowler throw a 300, that's a perfect game and you can't top it. If you have a hat trick in hockey that too is pretty special and a very rare occurrence. Throw for 500 yards as a Quarterback in pro football and you'll be immortalized. Score over 70 points in a basketball game the name Wilt and the Warriors are reprised. Actually watching a perfect game as it happens? VERY special!
The more I watch, the more I observe. The more I observe, the more I believe. The more I believe, the more convinced I become. I have been saying this all year: The Texas Rangers of 2009 are very much the Tampa Bay Rays of 2008. They can beat you in so many ways...
Well guess what? That's fine! When August and September rolls around and the Rangers are still contending and the Cowboys are playing the first month like December, do not try to hop aboard the bandwagon again to be a fair weathered fake! You won't be welcome!
An important test was passed this first weekend of dual sport in Arlington. On August 14th the Red Sox will be here when the Cowboys play the Titans in an exhibition. On the 19th the Twins will return and compete with Paul McCartney. I look forward to see how the city of Arlington makes do. For one night, the got it right. That makes me very happy!
Just two days earlier I was on a euphoric high having met and spoken to Ronald Reagan Jr, and working the first ballgame in the new Safeco Field in Seattle, Wa. One president's son fully alive, and now another dead. It just didn't seem right.
