Living in Loserville

I watched the Mavs and Rangers last night and realized this is ridiculous. Both teams looked good early on in their respective games but both teams choked away leads when in mattered. The Mavs went into halftime winning by 12 and Dirk, Kidd, and J-Ho looked solid. They were leading in every statistical category that counted and so what did they do when they came out of the locker room? They laid an egg starting halfway through the third quarter and carried it to the final buzzer. Meanwhile, the Rangers were also busy blowing their own lead in the 8th inning.

On nights like this it is hard to live in "loserville" but fear not my friends because we have some hope in the Stars (though the series lead is only 3-2) and we have the Fort Worth Cats (Back-to back-to back champions of their conference).
The Cats are the reason I have decided to come out of blog hibernation. I have now lived in the Metroplex for two and a half years and I am sad to report that I have only been to 1 Cats game. I have been to many Rangers games and multiple Mavs games but not to games in my own backyard. This is the team we should all get behind and cheer because they know how to perform in the clutch. It doesn't matter who the manager is or the players but they always find away to win it all. I am going to make an effort to attend Cats games and follow the team as much as possible. I noticed on the website (fwcats.com) that they signed a player who was recently in AAA and was a 1st round draft choice back in '01. These aren't necessarily guys who have no talent but guys who are still holding on to their dreams. That is very rare this day in age because we know that they are not playing for the money but for that one remaining chance that somebody might see their work and give them a shot.

How about four championships in a row for Cowtown!
