It ain’t got no…Philadelphia Phillies.
It ain’t got no…New York Yankees.
It ain’t got no…Boston Red Sox.
No. It’s Texas vs St. Louis, which in and of itself just doesn’t sound right. When I was growing up in Texas we had two sports. Football and spring Football practice. So baseball in Texas still doesn’t seem right. Actually I saw my first pro baseball game as a kid at the Astrodome when the Astros were playing I dunno. They gave away this cool baseball game at the gate when you walked in and I played with it the whole game. I never even looked at the players on the field. I had my own imagination…
The second pro baseball game I saw was the summer of 76 when the Rangers were playing the Detroit Tigers and some kid named Mark “The Bird” Fidrych was pitching. Now that was a blast. Not every day you can watch a grown man on a mound of dirt talking to a baseball. Fidrych was actually a pretty great pitcher that summer. He led the major leagues with a 2.34 ERA, won the AL Rookie of the Year award, and finished with a 19-9 record.
The only other connection I have to the Rangers is the only autographed baseball I own. Nolan Ryan’s foundation sent it for a cartoon I gave them of Ryan taking Robin Ventura to the woodshed during an infamous brawl they had in the 90′s.
So I invite you to share your World Series Memories with me. Did you listen in class as a kid? Have a favorite moment or team that won it all? I’d love to hear about it!

You can be sure there’s a lot of serious whining happening across America as the 2011 World Series begins tonight. If you rooted for any of the teams in today’s cartoon just remember what Cubs fans have come to know all to well…There’s always next year.

Wonder how “The Decision” was made to finally name Tim Tebow the Broncos starting quarterback. Wonder no more. I think this pretty much sums it up.

Are ya getting excited about the change. Frustrated about the Brandon Lloyd trade? I’d love to hear from you!

Tebow Time!. Finally. After the long wait. He’s not quite prime time ready but, hey, he’s playing. And that can be nothing but fun ahead. Let me know what you think!

It’s Time. It’s waaay past time! Time to hand the keys to the kid and see what he can do. Tebow excites this Broncos team like no other player on the roster. The defense has leaders. The offense needs one. Orton isn’t it. Tebow is. Sure, he doesn’t throw as nice a pass. Sure he lacks accuracy at times. But he brings something the Broncos need badly. A spark. A reason to believe. A reason to sit on the edge of your seat every time Tebow has the ball because you never know what he is going to do. The Broncos need that. the fans REALLY need that. It’s Tebow Time!
