Most of the Gametime in Arlington archives paint my favorite baseball team, the Texas Rangers, in a rather positive light. This blog entry sure as hell ain't one of them.
I'm about to fall off the proverbial baseball ledge due to the extraordinary number of patients checking into the Rangers infirmary. It's out of control. A bad horror movie. Someone stop the bleeding. Any help - Dexter Morgan? ... Yeah, that's the thing. There is no help. This team's descent into a quicksand of irrelevancy is picking up major steam.

See You Sunday Afternoon: Mavs Force Game 7 in Hectic Series
If "blood pressure monitor" shows up a few times in my Google search history, it's because I may require one before the end of this insane Mavs-Spurs series in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Here's how the series has gone, leading up to the deciding Game 7 on Sunday: Spurs by 5, Mavs by 21, Mavs by 1, Spurs by 4, Spurs by 6, Mavs by 2. Sure, the Mavs won Game 2 by a lot, but that game wasn't on mainstream TV. The rest of these games have all been televised. And they've all been heart-pounding.
The 8 seed Mavs are not supposed to be playing with the 1 seed Spurs. San Antonio had lost only five games since the All-Star break. Dallas, still led by a former NBA champion in Dirk Nowitzki, is relishing the role of underdog. And it's a beautiful thing to see.
