Hank Aaron Award
I think its quite obvious how awesome this season has been for the Texas Rangers and now we have another reason to show it. Ian Kinsler, Michael Young and Nelson Cruz have all been nominated for the Hank Aaron Award. Please go vote for whichever of the three you choose.
What a difference a year makes
For those of us that are Rangers fans by choice and not because of a winning record we know that this year has been something special. Here is a statement that I never thought I would say, but now the starting pitching is CARRYING the Rangers, as much trouble as the Rangers have had with Starting pitching that is really something special. Last year our starting pitching was in last place with a 5.37 ERA. This year one of the Rangers surprises, Tommy Hunter has an ERA of 2.26. In his last start against Cleveland he didn’t walk a man and gave up six runs in 7 2/3 innings of a 5-0 victory.
With the Rangers in the lead for the wild card there is one thing that I am praying that every member of the Rangers knows that we cannot let up now. Keep pushing guys!!! YOUR IN A PENNANT RACE!!!!!
YES! YES! YES!! Check this out!
Olympics
I think the idea of an Olympic games is amazing. Think about it. Once every four years the world comes together and represents their country with such pride that is both amazing and warming to the heart.
As I have watched the olympics this summer my heart has been warmed many times at the honorable way that the athletes of the United States have represented the USA. The stories of Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, and many others have shown me the value of hard work and believing in yourself.
It is said to be the most powerful secret weapon that anyone can have, believing in yourself. I have seen the power of this secret weapon. Michael Phelps, Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, and definitely Misty May-Treanor, and Kerri Walsh, and not to mention the much needed Redeem Team. All of these are excellent examples of what you can do if you just believe.
The Olympians have not just represented the country that I love, but they have shown me so much value that I have in myself. I know it be weird but it has been an extraordinary experience for me.
GO TEAM USA!!!!
