Who am I?

I'm from Houston, a graduate of the University of Texas, a fan of the Houston Astros and Houston Texans. But this blog will be about the "greater sports", whatever that means.

Sportsman of the Week Ending 7/28/2024


What a week for sports as the 2024 Olympic Games heat up, but one more cry for America's Pastime this week as a rare complete game no hitter goes.  San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease dominated the Washington Nationals for his first career no hitter and only the second for the Padres in franchise history (the first also Sportsman of the Week).  While Cease walked three, through the 114-pitch effort with 71 strikes.  With a double play and a caught stealing only faced one more than the minimum.  Cease was a trade acquisition in the offseason being in a contract year the White Sox wanted something in return.  The Padres could be a post-season spoiler in the National League and if so, Cease will be a tough two-game matchup for opponents.  And is a worthy Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
