Rangers are done,
and Cowboys already
might be cooked

Here it is midsummer, and although the blast furnace was a tad late in making a local arrival, the blistering heat showed up just in time to deliver a sweaty goodbye kiss to the Rangers.
With the baseball season over in July — or actually, much earlier in June — it’s the next-team-up syndrome that now applies.
Hello, Cowboys.
Training camp is about to open in Oxnard, Calif. It’s only a week and a couple of days away.
Granted, anything is better than the Rangers at the moment, but then again, we are talking about the Cowboys here. The current excitement level for Jerry and the boys is definitely higher than another Leonys Martin at bat, but …
A gamer like Adrian Beltre taking his hacks is certainly worth watching, which leads to the obvious question. Will the Cowboys be worth watching?
Early answer is: No.
Well, maybe 8-8 again. Even that would be better than the baseball mess on the other end of Randol Mill Road.
At least of the two biggest questions concerning the 2014 Cowboys, one is a positive.
How good can this team be, offensively?
Maybe real good.
On the flip side, the other question and massive doubt about the Cowboys is ongoing from last season:
How bad will the defense be? Even worse than a year ago? Statistically, it can’t be worse than 2013’s ranking of 32nd in the NFL. But the eyeball test of the current level of defensive talent tells us to brace for even worse.
