WOW!!! that was amazing. That performance gave me chills. LeBron scored his teams last 25 points, 29 of their last 30 and their last 11 FGs. He basically carried the Cavs to a 3-2 series lead going back home for game 6. This isn't over yet but he may have just carried them to the finals on his back, single-handedly to the franchise's first NBA Finals. this ranks high up there in NBA Lore. There is no question about it. If he plays anything close to how he did today then the Spurs may have to get a little worried. This is emphasized by a certain emphatic dunk performed by lebron earlier in the season.
Straying a bit from LeBron, Billy Donovan once again showed how truly worthless NCAA coaching contracts really are by apparently signing with the orlando Magic after making all those temporarily relieved gator fans out there believe he wasn't following his top four players into the NBA. However he provided even more proof than the huggins and Gillipsie debacles of earlier in the year.
One more thing amused me recently. This was A-Rod's controversial play against the blue jays. He shouted behind a blue Jay player trying to catch a pop fly causing him to believe that a teammate was calling him off. i don't really know what to make about this except that it reminds me a lot of Willie Mays Hayes performing this same tactic in one of the major league movies. i found it funny in the movie but a little bit unprofessional in real life.
Sorry for another long stretch without any blog posts but sometimes i just don't care. However I'll try to keep the streak going a little longer this time but i can't make any guarantees. Now, a few momentous occasions occurred to me recently. First i celebrated my fifteenth birthday part last week. I had my party on Saturday and invited a few friends over. it was pretty cool. i played 2 on 3 with the worst player on my team to 50 and we lost 50-44 with me scoring a game-high 42. Did I mention that we were playing by 1s and 2s. Its alright though i think i made my point well enough. We also played a little 2 on 2 baseball, and naturally, i was the only one to hit a home run. Happy Birthday to me! For my birthday i got lots of money and an XBox 360 with 4 games: Guitar hero II, Call of Duty 3, NBA Live 07, and MLB 2K7.
I realized today that there are 10 days of school left. So that's nice. also brightening my day is that 4 of those 10 are half days. I still have to do all my final exams though so there's still some work to be done.
In other areas of interest my fantasy team keeps chugging along, comfortably in first place. I have a 7-0-1 record and im probably going to get my eighth win this week unless everyone dies on my team. However, i do have a problem. my team is too talented. I have 12 playes that would undoubtedly start on any other team, but only 10 starting positions. Let me show you:
as you can see ill be in even more trouble when Joe Mauer comes back. Now i have been considering a few options and I have come up with these:
1.Trade Howard and Ortiz for Pujols and Sheffield: This would give me the best player in fantasy and allow me to start Beltran. Basically trading Ortiz and Howard for Pujols and Beltran if you look at in terms of starting players.
2.use some of my big pieces to acquire Johan Santana: But after Sizemore, Bedard and Chris Young was denied i have pretty much lost hope.
3.Keep my players and stay with the most powerful bench every built and still probably win the league.
I'll keep y'all posted on what happens.
I've seen the new 'Pirates' twice already, once with some friends and once with my family. I think it was really good. I wont give up important plot points yet.
I thought that this was the best one so far. That is my humble opinion but it is what i believe. Jack is at his greatest and the return of Barbossa and an appearance by keith richards make it stand above the other two.
Ah the NBA playoffs where have you gone. I used to follow you religiously. However, now that The perennially bland pistons and Spurs are going extremely deep every year it has become more and more boring. The only thing that is keeping me from ignoring them entirely is LeBron james. Of course, i am not alone in this. however, I vow right here that i will not watch one second of the NBA Finals if it is anothe Spurs-Pistons Series. I love basketball but i just can't watch that.
More exciting (in a bad way) news coming from the NBA is Kobe Bryant's demand for a trade and subsequent retraction of that request a mere 3 hours later. I hope the lakers understand that kobe has never been this frustrated and needs for them to make some impact moves NOW. Starting with getting rid of the cupcake and getting back Jerry West. I also want Kidd. i wouldn't mind garnett either but i think Kevin McHale would rather have an 0-82 season than trade one of the best players in the NBA to the team he so completely hated during the 80s.
I thought that one of the strangest sequences i had ever seen happened in the 12th inning of a Giants- Mets game when Armando benitez balked Twice to allow Jose Reyes to score the tying run and the allow Carlos Delgado to hit the walkoff right after. FYI Benitez got traded to the Marlins today so he'll probably have a lot more meetings with the Mets this season.
Most comercial on Tv are garbage, but some are worth watching. I have decided that the top three are Skittles, Mountain Dew and Bud Light. This, of course does not include any judging from super bowl weekend. So here is a small sampling of these commercials with updates over time to be added.
well I'm sorry for the long layoff between posts... but i just didn't care. But I'm coming back with a vengeance.I probably wont post everyday though.

So, my genius plan for my fantasy baseball team faied when the guy ahead of me took Santana. But, i think i compensated very well and drafted and traded my way to becoming the best team in my league. Take a look:
Now, In case you're wondering how i managed to get such an incredibly talented team then ill just say this: i manage my team like Isiah Thomas on Speed. I do around two to three trades a week. Thats why only ten of my 26 players were originally on my team, and one of those (Chris Young) was just recently reacquired. I have my share of robberies along with my share of bad breaks but with the quantity of trades i make i end up improving my team a whole lot. I have slowed down considerably recently but im probably not done trading just yet. As my team is soon to be 5-0 facing off with my one true competitor in my H2H league next week its an exciting time to be the manager of Sandy's Squad.
They had the best of '06/'07 SNL show yesterday but i was dissapointed that they left out the Hugh Laurie show from 10/28/06 which in my opinion was the best of the season.
It had four or five skits that were up there with the best of them this season. Well, i hope i dont lose interest as quickly as last time...
