I’m Back!

Posted by | Aug 18, 2014 | , , , , |

My summer sabbatical is over and I am back to blogging! I had a terrific summer at Camp this year! I loved all my friends and the fact I got to play sports all day, every day. I may have not had my eyes glued to a device all summer, but I’ve stayed tuned in the sports world with the help of my counselors and a big shout out for Mark Carberry who was Mr.Sports in the morning and kept our whole boys side tuned in on everything we missed from baseball scores, to the basketball off-season, to social media and lastly, but most memorably, his Bo-Sox who currently sit in last by 14.5 gms ;( . As he always said: “Get the rye, get the mustard, because today’s gonna’ be a grannnd Salami of a day!” And before you know it, you’re counting down to summer 2015. Now here I am, blogging again… Yesterday the Mets lost 2-1 to the Cubbies after beating them twice in a row. In Queens, that’s good baseball 🙂 .After a Grandy RBI, the Mets kept it tied 1 all going into the 9th and you could guess what happened. Classic Met letdown on a Starlin Castro HR in he top of the 9th.  This puts NYM at a 59-66 record, 7 below 500. And before the season we were talking about 90...

An Exciting Era Begins

Posted by | Jun 27, 2014 | |

Last night’s NBA draft was very deep and fun to watch. The teams made moves for future stars and increased their playoff chances. From #1-#60, these players can make one of the best classes ever. Unlike last year when 2nd rd. talent was found in the 1st. 1st rd. talent was all-around. Here is a little recap… Yes, the “future LeBron” coming out of high school, Andrew Wiggins was chosen #1 by the Cavs, just like LeBron before his trip to south beach. If we talk about these LeBron F.A rumors it will take forever. Anyway, Wiggins has potential and is playing now for a young team with tons of potential. We’ll this may get LeBron to come back to Cleveland.  Good start for the Cavs… We had some crazy trades in this draft, the hat switching was crazy. But 1 trade stood out above others, the Shabazz Napier trade. Napier coming off of his 2nd championship with UConn was selected by the Charlotte Hornets (You read that right), that would make a reunion of 2 UConn PG’s from the 1st championship, Kemba Walker. I was psyched after this pick and was excited for this young talented team. Plus I LOVE their new jerseys and logo as a logo freak. Back to the trade, he was traded to the MIAMI HEAT for the rights to future picks (they were...

FEED THAT MAN!

The Uruguay national team may have beat Italy 1-0 in an exciting game but this game was full of controversy… Uruguay star Luis Suarez was caught yet again for biting an opponent. Usually players have problems like hitting or injuries, but Suarez bites? This is the 3rd incident of the star player biting opponents when he but an opponent on Ajax in a fight and in Liverpool when he bit a player on Chelsea.  He received lengthy suspensions/fines for those incidents. Now he may cost Uruguay the World Cup by sitting for the whole tourney.   For yesterday’s bite, Suarez was not penalized, but Fifa knows what they need to do thats best which is suspend him.  Suarez and the Uruguay coach had comments on the bite that just made this mess worse by trying to defend themselves. This investigation is ongoing, crazy, and yes, it is spreading ALL OVER social media… World Cup update- Greece 2 – Ivory Coast 1 : Greeks advance on GW penalty kick in box… Colombia 4 – Japan 1 Italy 0 – Uruguay 1 Costa Rica 0- England 0 – England lowest pt total in their World Cup history (1)… Knockout Rd. – *= 1 more game (current position) Brazil Mexico Netherlands Chile Columbia Greece Costa Rica Uruguay France * Ecuador * Argentina  * Nigeria * Germany * USA * Belgium * Algeria * NBA-...

NO-NO 4 KERSHAW!

Posted by | Jun 19, 2014 | |

3 time Cy Young award winner Clayton Kershaw threw 0 no hitters until last night when he shut down the Rockies to 0 hits and 1 baserunner on a Hanley Ramirez throwing error. He also struck out 15 batters,  a career high. While his 107 pitch performance was going on, the Dodgers scored 8 runs. A great performance for Kershaw, his magical run is just at it’s peak… For the Mets, they finally beat the Cardinals 3-2 yesterday. Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon looks like he’s in a “back to the future” movie with the way he’s pitching.  Now 7-5 on the year, Colon went 8 innings strong with 1 K and 4 hits allowed.  Dana Eveland got the save.  Eric Young jr. had a big day at the plate going 2-4 with a run and 2 rbi’s batting leadoff.  The Mets and Zach Wheeler will face the fish tonight at 7:10. News- Mets promote Kirk Nieuwenhuis to majors Demote Matt Den Dekker to Las Vegas 51’s...

Mexico Goalkeeper Gullimero Ochoa played so good against Brazil yesterday, they might as well changed Ochoa to “0choa!” Yes, Ochoa shut out a powerful Brazil squad in gm. 2 of their 2014 world cup. Neymar had some terrific shots on goal for Brazil, but Ochoa saved ALL OF THEM! You got to check this keeper out! Ochoa remarked after the game ” It was the match of my life”. We’ll, he’s right, even Mexico coach Miguel Herrera called him the “hero” of the match. What a game for Ochoa and Mexico to tie up Brazil  with 4 points for 1st place in Group...
