If you are an all around Dallas sports fan like I am, then you are probably having an awesome day like I am! The Rangers, Stars, and Mavericks all were successful in their respective games yesterday. The Rangers kicked it off yesterday with an afternoon game against their American League West rivals the Oakland A's.
The Rangers sent Martin Perez onto the mound to pitch. And pitch is exactly what Perez did. Perez went out an pitched a gem! Only 1 run would have worked for Perez, but the offense gave him 3. Perez pitched yet another complete game shut out. He only walked 2 and struck out 3, but in my opinion the only pitching stat that matters is how many they gave up on the scoreboard. The Rangers will take advantage of today off to travel to Seattle, Washington to take on the Mariners with a 9:05 central time first pitch.
Mavericks definitely proved me wrong coming out and defeating the number one seed San Antonio Spurs. The Mavs showed that you don't want turnover the ball, because they would get a lot of points of the turnovers. In total the Spurs turned the ball over a total of 22 times, which is just crazy coming from the Spurs where they are coached not to do make turnovers and do everything right. Monta Ellis was the team's leading scorer scoring 21 points. Dirk had 16, Marion had 20, and Harris had 18 points off the bench. The Mavs would go onto to win 113 to 96 to tie the series up 1 game a piece. The next game between the two will be in Dallas Saturday at 3:30.
Stars of course also had a victory on the night giving the Dallas teams wins across 3 out of the 4 called "major sports leagues". And the momentum is swinging in their favor with the Ducks Captain Ryan Getzlaf out and last night Teemu Selanne was apparently a healthy scratch. This young Stars team will take any advantage they can to further themselves in the playoffs. The Stars fell behind at the end of the 1st 2 to 0, but watching this Stars team in the post season they just don't give up. 27 seconds into the 2nd period Jamie Benn knocked in his 3rd goal of the postseason! Fiddler would score the 2nd with the Stars and Ducks tied 2 goals a piece going into intermission. Eakin and Goligoski would score goals 3 and 4 to tie the series up 2 games a piece! The next game will be Friday night in Anaheim where the Stars hope to win there, and then clinch game 6 at home!
