I have seen the replays and must say Miles Austin might want to take on a dual role as a pole vaulter. That was some height he reached when jumping over Roy Williams in yesterdays 24-21 loss to Minnesota. What you might not know is that act did not draw a flag. Five yards left of Miles Sam Hurd was seen doing the 'Hook Em Horns' sign. That caught the refs ire and some yellow laundry.
Last week I finally turned a corner into the win side. Even with the Viking meltdown last Monday I was 8-5 against the spread and 7-6 head to head. 40-33-2 for the season. This week there are some interesting matchups and does anyone else find it ironic that on the anniversary of the Loma Prieta Quake this day in 1989 the 49ers and Raiders both meet in the Bay Area? Just like the A's Giants at 5:04pm in 1989? Yeah, I know...Too Much Information. So be it.
And VIOLA! a streak that shall now reach 19 years remains intact. I was curious to see just how energetic the crowd was going to be. I also envisioned how colorful the crowd would look in red, white, and blue. I then gave thought to how well Colby Lewis would respond to the pressure one day after a blown game. Then I began to wonder who would be the big man this day for the Rangers.
Two weeks ago I was asked about being available for a photo shoot for a Dental Grand Opening in McKinney Texas. I looked at the calendar and said, 'Hell Yeah!' I had never been to McKinney before and I welcomed a chance to leave Tarrant County for a day.
Cliff Lee has shined brighter than the brightest diamond in this ALDS. Two starts, 21 strikeouts, O walks! Need I say more? Exactly why the trade was made on July 9th. For moments like these to be one step ahead of the curve in the playoffs. Cliff Lee is like a sheriff strolling into town with a loaded holster and a slight smile. Loves to battle and to compete.
