UConn Wins it ALL Again!

Posted by | Apr 9, 2014 | , , |

Yes, UConn‘s mens and women’s team won the NCAA championship after Women’s UConn beat Norte Dame 79-58. UConn went 40-0 through the season and tourney and ND went 37-1. Brianna Stewart had 21 points and 9 boards in the big win. This is the 2nd time a college has won both championships, who did it? UConn . This is UConn’s 9th championship and that surpassed the Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Great win for UConn… Kevin Durant’s streak of 25 point games was snapped last night when he scored 23 against Sacramento. OKC still won by 15. In baseball, Mets new pitcher Bartolo Colon pitched 7 scoreless innings in the Mets 4-0 win vs. the Braves. There were many before the game celebrations because yesterday 40 years ago, the legendary slugger Hank Aaron surpassed the great bambino Babe Ruth’s all-time home runs. This record looked impossible to many but Aaron did it. This record still may be impossible because Barry Bonds current record may be taken away due to the still pending investigation on use of illegal PEDs. Aaron has the most RBI’s in MLB history and maybe the best slugger to EVER...

Mets Win 2nd game in a Row

Posted by | Apr 6, 2014 | , |

The Mets won their 2nd game in a row Saturday with a 6-3 win vs. the Reds.  With Dillon Gee pitching for the Mets, he let up 3 runs to the Reds in 7 innings of pitching, he earned a no decision in the win.  After going 2 games hitless, Mets OF Curtis Granderson has 4 hits on 15 tries, a home run and 3 RBI’s. If he keeps this up, this can be a real  bright spot this year for NY.  The Mets were down 3-2 to Cincy with their 2 coming from a Grandy homer. I turned on the TV in the bottom of the 9th and something magical happened. A rally started with now electric OF Juan Lagares drawing a walk, then with backup catcher Anthony Recker up, he bunted to move over Lagares and prevent the double play. But Recker was safe at 1st because the Reds tried to get Lagares at 2nd, at first Lagares was called out but Mets manager Terry Collins challenged the ruling and then Lagares was safe at second base. SS Ruben Tejada was supposed to be replaced by Ike Davis as a so Davis could bat but instead, Tejada stayed at bat and walked to load the bases. Now with the pitcher up, Davis stepped up to the plate. Why was Davis pinch hitting? He lost his 1B job to Lucas Duda who hit 2 homers in the Mets...

D-Jax Signs with the ‘Skins

Posted by | Apr 3, 2014 | , |

Former Eagles wideout DeSean Jackson signed a 3 year, $24M contract with the Redskins after being released by the Eagles for a rumor of off the field incidents. Great deal for the Redskins, Jackson will help emerging young star Robert Griffin III with his deep throws a ton. Jackson had 7 TD’s of 15+  yards last season. He is also a weapon in the trick game option when he can run on a handoff for a TD. he will compete with the ‘Skins other #1 receiver Pierre Garçon for most of the catches. Jackson will also play his former team, the Eagles twice a year.  New HC Jay Gruden has some serious work to do… The Mets and Yankees are now both 0-2 after losses last night.  The Yankees should be more concerned losing to in my opinion, the worst team in the league, the Astros. Pitcher C.C Sabathia had 6 ER in his 1st start on tuesday and Hiroki Kuroda lost it last night. Bad start for a team with very high expectations and in a tough division. The Mets on the other hand are playing the division favorites and the best team in the league by some people: the Nationals. Losing on Monday was a sure win lost for the Mets and last night was a very disappointing game with new pitcher Bartolo Colon letting up 3 runs and 1 HR to...

Posted by | Apr 1, 2014 | |

“PLAY BALL’!”  Finally its here! Opening day. Some great games were played today and here is a quick recap on all the games played… Mets 7 – Nationals 9:  The Mets jusssst couldn’t hold their lead through the 9th and 10th and lost to the rival Nats 9-7. Mets pitcher Dillon Gee made his 1st career Opening Day start in the majors in this game. He pitched 6 innings and let up 4 runs and struck out 5 in his pretty good outing. New Mets relief pitcher Jose Valverde was the only bright spot for the Mets bullpen yesterday with 3 K’s over the course of 1 inning.  Nats ace Stephen Strausburg struck out 10 Mets in his 6 inning outing but let up 4 runs in his ND. The Mets got a quick 3 run homer from LF Andrew Brown in the 1st inning too lead 3 zip. Nats 1B Adam LaRoche homered and brought in  SS Ian Desmond to trail NY by 1.

The Nationals tied the game up in the 7th with Anthony Rendon doubling and scoring Ian Desmond. Then Denard Span was walked with the bases juiced and the Nats tied it at 4.  The Mets had the win in their hands when OF Juan Lagares  hit a...

Too Painful

Posted by | Mar 31, 2014 | , |

Yesterday I learned listening to a Final 4 game on the radio in the last seconds of your favorite team’s game (especially when their tied or losing) is a PAINFUL and bad idea.  Oh yeah, I forgot.  When your team Loses! Its even more painful… Here are the 2 recaps of last night’s Elite 8 games… Michigan vs. Kentucky: What a game. Michigan was shooting the jumper really well in this game as always because that’s their strength. Rebounding and crashing the boards is disappointing for this BIG BLUE squad. Kentucky did just that and BIG MAN Julius Randle had 16 points and 11 boards to push UK to the win.  Here are my 2 reasons why UMich lost: 1-rebounds, with Julius Randle crashing the boards the whole game, Michigan couldn’t find a big man to guard him. 2- Bench production was scarce in the loss with Spike Albrecht scoring 0 for 1 and the whole bench getting 11 points in all.  Kentucky on the other side was great with strong games by Andrew Harrison with 8 points, 6 dimes and 3 boards, James Young with 13 points, Julius Randle with 16 points and 11 boards, Aaron Harrison with 12 points and Dakari Johnson with 8 points. Off the bench, Marcus Lee scored 10 and grabbed 8 boards and the 3 players on the bench combined for 18 points.  The game came down to a 72-72 tie and Aaron Harrison hitting the...
