Currently 8-0
P.S. In case you didn’t know, I’m a die hard Kentucky Wildcats fan since the Christian Laettner broke my 8 year old heart days.
Not even the Spurs losing to Dallas in Game 7 of the 2006 Western Conference Semi’s, the Fisher shot, or Padres getting swept in 98 [...]

Return on investments…

November 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Vida, Sports

Even though I hate you guys (Yankees) with a passion, I know a good investment when I see one.
I’ve been a Yankee season ticket holder for three years now and can’t say I regret one moment of it. I’ve also been a Phillies half-season plan owner for two years now.
Boy, have I been lucky.
First [...]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but…

October 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Sports

Let’s go Yankees!
*Ted DiBiase laugh*
These are my Yankees playoff strips that just came in the mail.
I think I’m going somewhere far, far away for my birthday in January if the Yankees do what they’re supposed to do. And to think, I absolutely despise this team, but I’ll root for them for one fall.
If you’d [...]

September 9th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Mi Vida, Sports

Last week, I went with the bossman to the US Open and sat right on the court behind the servers Murray and Sharapova.
Special thanks to him for the invite. It’s always fun going to things for free. Especially when its so close to the action.
Next event: Vegas in November for Cotto v Pacquiao. [...]

Welcome to San Antonio Vol 2.

July 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Sports

Welcome to San Antonio a consumate professional and class act who fits our personality and system. Ladies and Gentlemen, Antonio McDyess.
Now, the first thing I will say is please don’t get injured. Don’t even dare. You may not be the shot blocker I wanted or as coveted as Sheed, but you are a better rebounder [...]

I spoke to him last week…

July 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Vida, Sports

This folks is Theirry Henry. One of the best strikers ever and my favorite player since I became a casual soccer fan back in 01.

Welcome to San Antonio Vol 1…

June 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Sports, Writing

Nothing could compare to yesterday. Not anything since the unexpected 2007 NBA Title run when I believed we were destined to lose to the Suns before Horry hip-checked Steve Nash into the NBA Playoffs on TNT sign. Nothing.
June 24th, 2009 gave me the type of event that ‘might’ (I stress that work) make me [...]
