The view from Dallas

It was not, in any way, a good night to be a sports fan in the greater Dallas area last night. The Stars lost for the first time at home this season and the Texas Rangers were one out from winning the World Series — twice — but lost and must play Game 7 tonight. One positive? If you were one of the approximately 3,000 people in attendance at American Airlines Center, there was plenty of leg room. Here’s a couple links from the Dallas media, with The Dallas Morning News providing quotes and ESPNDallas.com providing a game recap.
