Thinking out Loud: Sports Review
Baseball
I'm not a fan of the sport but right now I can't help but notice...
ALEX RODRIGUEZ IS THE SHIT!!!! Dude has now hit 12 homeruns for the season in less than a month with 2 of them being walk off game winners and one of those being a grandslam. Even I know this is big...just hope this inspiration continues for the entire season or they will be doggin him again just like last year. LOL.
Oh and by the way, Barry Bonds is gonna to totally destroy that Hank Aaron record for most homeruns this season as he has already gotten off to a fast start with 4 or 5 and needs less than 20 to break it. I'm thinking sometime around mid June.

Hockey
Am I the only person that just realized that the NHL playoffs are underway and are in fact almost over. That sport really sucks right now. LOL.

Football
Pacman, Pacman, Pacman
WTF is wrong with this boy. Now after everything else this bama goes and puts an ad in the Tennessee newspaper asking for forgiveness. LMAO!!! Had he not been on television a week ago talking about how he had plans to fix things and that he expected to be back on the field after week 10 then this may have seemed genuine. Now he just looks like the dumb villian that tells his plan and then loses to the hero (Roger Goodell in this case) because he talks to much. LOL. Honestly, I hope he does learn something from this and I hope he follows thru with the return to school also.

Racing
How is it that DEI racing (a racing company that started by Dale Earnhardt Denior) is offering a deal to Dale Earnhardt Jr.....WTF??? Let me get this right, dad starts a business...son works in the business with dad...dad dies and son carried on family name in the industry...son doesn't enherit business...??? Am I the only one that is lost by this. That's not how family business works. How does he not automatically own DEI racing? Vito didn't leave the Olive oil company to Tessio or Clemenza that shit went to Michael. You think Gerry Buss Jr is worried about Magic Johson trying to take the Lakers when his pops passes....NO!!! Shoot you think that Magic Johnson's son is worried about his future...that bama knows that when that HIV kicks in, in like 20-25 years (just for the record I have never and will never believe that Magic actually has HIV) he got the BLVD at the Capital Center as well as about 100 theatres and restaurants across this nation. That's the way business works. You "pass that shit down, pass it like a cold". LOL. At least Dale Jr got a deal that gives him majority ownership. At least he's smart enough to get his stuff in order. LOL.

Basketball
Today is the start of the NBA playoffs and the seats are set for competition to start later on today...
In the East:
#1 Detroit Pistons vs #8 Orlando Magic
#2 Cleveland Cavaliers vs #7 Washington Wizards
#3 Toronto Raptors vs #6 New Jersey Nets
#4 Miami Heat vs #5 Chicago Bulls
The Favorite: Detroit and Miami are basically a toss up for the favorites for most and I think I like Detroit with D. Wade coming off of the shoulder injury.
The Sleeper: Generally the most popular picks for sleeper in the east have been Chicago or Cleveland. When you have one of the 3 or 4 best players in the league on your team it's easy to think that anything can happen but with the east being so weak this year I tend to believe that the group that plays best as a team will overcome any one player so I am going with Chicago as the sleeper.
My Darkhorse & Prediction: My personal favorite as the darkhorse in the east is Toronto. I think they have some very talented players but they are young and have no experience in the playoffs so everyone assumes the Nets will handle them easily. I think with a guy like Bosh (who is very similar to KG) and a PG like TJ Ford they have leaders who can take them just as far as Chicago or Cleveland can go so they are my team to watch in these playoffs. My prediction for the east is that we will see Chicago vs Detroit in the East Finals and it will be BORING. LOL
In the West:
#1 Dallas Mavericks vs #8 Golden State Warroirs
#2 Phoenix Suns vs #7 Los Angeles Lakers
#3 San Antonio Spurs vs #6 Denver Nuggets
#4 Utah Jazz vs #5 Houston Rockets
The Favorite: The argument all season has been Dallas or Phoenix...I am one that believes that defense wins championships and between these two the best defense is in Dallas. But if you think this is a three team race for the favorite you may be inclined to go with San Antonio and I personally think they have it.
The Sleeper: The west is deep this year...very deep. So there isn't really a consensus on who the bestbsleeper is just like there isn't a consensus on who the favorite is. Most would say this is also a three team race between Utah, Houston, and Denver. I am leaning towards Houston becasue they not only have a great 1,2 punch like Denver but they play as a team like Utah and they have the best defense of all three teams.
My Darkhorse & Prediction: NO I am not giving my personal pick of a darkhorse to my boys in LA. I can be unbias....really I can. LOL. I think the darkhorse sleeper in the west is somewhat of an oxymoron because if any of the top 5 won out it would make sense. Denver is the least likely of the sleepers (above) to win it all and since I like that squad I personally will be pulling for them to make some noise. I do want to tell everyone to watch out for Golden State in the first round cause they have had both Dallas' and Phoenix's number all season.
I am seeing San Antonio vs Houston in the Western Conference Finals.
Hoping to see a lot of upsets in the playoffs this year but when all the dust is settled I expect to see San Antonio and Detroit battle it out again with Tim Duncan getting his fourth ring.

Long azz post.
LOL.
A-Rod been a beast. The best way to watch baseball is via sportscenter.
I'll be in San Fran in early June and I will be catching a Giants game. Hopefully he breaks the record at the game I attend.
Hockey...what's that?
The problem with DEI is that Dale senior's widow does not like Dale Jr. and I believe that the company was left to her. So what does that really say about the relationship between father and son?
Mavs Piston Finals...BOOOOOOORINGGGG!
This site is so nice. Really i've been checkit for a wile. Here's some info about the Sony Ericsson tennis tournament history. If you like to visit my page it will be a pleasure. Or if know some one that likes to know about this, givethem this link. Will be nice to had some users like you with sites as good as yours. On August 29, 2006 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications announced the signing of a four year contract worth $20 million to become the title sponsor of the Sony Ericsson Open. The Sony Ericsson Open is currently the largest tournament in the world with Title Sponsorship. When Butch Buchholz established the event in 1985, it marked the first time in 56 years that a new two-week tournament featuring men and women was launched. Located in Delray Beach (Laver’s International Tennis Center) in 1985 and Boca Raton (Boca West) in 1986, the tournament found a permanent home in 1987 on Miami’s Key Biscayne. In 1994, Miami-Dade County christened the Tennis Center at Crandon Park, a 30-acre expanse that is transformed each year from a public tennis facility into a full-fledged festival for the Sony Ericsson Open. The Sony Ericsson Open was awarded “Tournament of the Year” by the ATP for five consecutive years and seven of the last eight years and in 2004 by the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour and is considered one of the most prestigious titles in professional tennis. In 1999, the tournament was purchased by IMG.
The only combined 12-day Tennis Masters Series event on the ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar, the Sony Ericsson Open features the world's top-ranked pros - 96 men and 96 women in singles competition, and 32 men's teams and 32 women's teams in doubles action. The men’s final is a best 3-out-of-5 sets with every other match in both men’s and women’s singles and doubles a best 2-out-of-3.We specialize in hard to find or sold-out sports tickets, concert tickets and theatertickets for sporting and entertainment events worldwide.
