Byrd has two home runs in this game and just made a diving catch that was quite possibly one of the best I have ever seen. At 31-years old, Byrd is batting .286 with 15 home runs and 65 RBI. Not bad for a player the Rangers are only paying a little over three million a year.
I love watching track and field events because I think it's the purest form of human athletic competition. And to watch Jamaican runner Usain Bolt set another world record is just amazing to watch. He did it in the 200-meter race in Berlin today with a time of 19.19. That's amazing! Bolt slashed 0.11 seconds off the mark he set last year at the Beijing Olympics and it came four days after he broke his own 100-meter record by the same ...
The Rangers have reinstated Nelson Cruz from the 15-day D.L. Cruz has made three appearances in Oklahoma City, going 0-10 with a stolen base. To make a spot for the slugger, Texas optioned Guillermo Moscoso to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Cruz's return could be just what the Rangers need for a spark. Texas has lost two straight games to the Twins where they had a substantial lead after five innings. Per the Dallas Cowboys:
For almost 35 years, Dean has been involved in North Texas radio and television broadcasting. He began his television career at WBAP-TV (KXAS) in 1973, and over the years, he has worked at some of Texas' most prominent radio stations - including Ft. Worth's KXOL...
According to HoopsWorld.com and HoopsHype.com, the Dallas Mavericks are working on a trade with the Toronto Raptors to send shooting guard Matt Carroll north for veteran Marcus Banks. The move would be strictly a financial one for Dallas. Carroll, who was acquired from Charlotte for DeSanga Diop last season, has four years left on
At least 20 months for the former Steelers and Giants wide receiver. I was talking with our executive sports producer Sean Hamilton today about this ... when Vick went to jail for 18 months, I wondered when was the last time we've had a current, high-profile athlete in his prime go to jail for that length of time? Now Plaxico Burress is going to jail for almost 2 years. In and of itself, that is interesting. We couldn't think of any other supe...
The report is that later this afternoon, the Memphis basketball program will be forced to vacate their 38 wins from the 2007-08 season, a year in which the team went to the final four. But once again, the head coach in charge isn't challenged. The NCAA has done business this way for years. What would happen if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell were in charge of the NCAA? Would John Calipari still get a free pass? Sure he's at Kentucky ...
