Good Sports Day

The Yankees have just won championship no. 27. WOW. Congratulations boys.

It's always amazing to follow a team during a championship season. You're in for a ride you know? You watch games, check box scores, read every story, and then you see them win it all.

Especially when they beat a really great team too! The Phillies are awesome in their own right and I was legitimately afraid of them everytime they went up to bat. Whether it was Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Raul Ibanez or whomever was up next, each hitter was a threat to go deep. Cliff Lee led a superb rotation of starting pitchers. People shouldn't overlook the fact that the Yankees beat a really, really, REALLY good team.

Championships are won by the team you know can bring it every night and can bring it as a team. Sacrifice, heart and unity get it done. This team had all of that. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, just like old times right? Legacy players who won it all one more time. First-timers Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett all got the job done. And of course, Alex Rodriguez finally got his first championship ring. Oh and last but certainly not least, Hideki Matsui as the DH winning World Series MVP. Congrats Godzilla.

AND! The Pacers got their first win today beating (ironically) the New York Knicks. Guess you can't have everything. Haha. Thank God for TJ Ford today. Dahntay Jones, Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert too! Danny, you better not skip out on the media this time (I suspect reporters will be in a rush to leave though, wanting to get to Yankee Stadium).

Great day.

(Plus, I've got Friday Night Lights to watch later too! Haha!)

Nelly WAS on to something...

You know how in the Hot in Here Herre video, the roof does eventually catch on fire? That is soooo going to happen this sem. In either CTC 301 or 302 (my money is on 301). I am deathly afraid of passing out from the heat.

And speaking of male african-american hip-hop moguls, Kanye + NBA Playoffs commercials? It's about damn time. It's amazing.

And the captain! Derek Jeter I love you. (And Nick Swisher too.)

Oh yeah, Playoff predictions. Cavs in 7 against the Lakers. But I think Utah can oust LA early. Yeah, there, I said it. Deron Williams is a killer. Never forget that. Also, if they want it, they can take it. AK, Booz, Millsap and Okur can play pretty well if they want to. Ronnie can make a name for himself like Raja Bell did against the Lakers in the past. Oh and Adam Morrison + Sasha Vujacic < Kyle Korver. I really think the Jazz can take this. (And how sweet would it be for Jerry Sloan to eliminate Phil in the first round when Phil's team is favored?)

And damn KG, if you didn't change so much like milk out in the sun, I'd really feel bad for you. But the things you did to Calderon and the Blazers? C'mon dawg you're better than that. Man up and get better soon. You can be intense, but you don't have to be a dick. No one likes a bully.

Peace out, gotta get in a few buckets. Later.
