Just thought I'd post an FYI. The Rangers winter caravan hits frisco today.

They will be at the Dr. Pepper ballpark 1:30- 3pm today.

From the website:

"Saturday, January 19 marks the sixth annual visit to Dr Pepper Ballpark by the Texas Rangers Round Up Winter Caravan. Frisco RoughRiders fans can take this opportunity to choose a ticket plan and select their seats for the upcoming season in addition to getting autographs from some of their favorite Rangers.

The gates will open at 1:00 PM and RoughRiders sales staff will be on hand to assist fans in selecting their seats.

Rangers scheduled to appear include Ian Kinsler, Wes Littleton, Travis Metcalf, Kevin Millwood, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and Jim Sundberg. The RoughRiders mascot, Deuce, will be at the event to meet fans and take pictures. Fans can also enjoy hot dogs and beverages that will be for sale at the concession stand. There will also be tours of the RoughRiders clubhouse available for fans.

The autograph session will take place from 1:30-3:00 PM and will be held in The First Horizon Club -- the team's exclusive, members only bar and restaurant. "

Packers Vs Lions

Cowboys Vs Jets

and Falcons vs Colts                                                    

This is kind of an interesting idea.

"The innovative program is called the Nintendo Fan Network. For a fee, the network uploads a program onto the user's DS Lite and allows fans to order food and drinks, watch the live television feed of the game, access stats and scores and play trivia, all from the comfort of their seat -- whether it's a premium seat behind home plate or in the top row of the stadium."

Per Rotoworld the braves have released first baseman craig wilson.

He hasn't been very good this year, think the rangers should take a flier on him? especially given the rash of injuries.

Just in case you guys haven't had enough basketball diaries since the end of the mav's run.
