Calling all baseball fans!!

With the baseball opening day just 26 days away, I thought I’d devote this post to all things baseball!

As we know the New York Yankees were the World Series Champions last year. This gives them 27 total championships, more than any other North American franchise in professional sports history. Congrats to all my baseball fans that are Yankee lovers. You picked a very successful franchise to cheer for!

Now lets take a look at some key off season transactions that occurred with all the teams that made the playoffs last season:

So baseball fans what do you guys think of all the postseason transactions? If your team did not make the playoffs last year but you still want to know what they did in the off season send me a comment and lets chat….April 4th is right around the corner and I’m excited to go to some games…Go Dodgers!!

In the Clutch

In the Clutch
The ability to come through in the clutch is a crucial quality to be considered an elite player. I love how this commercial plays on that and recognizes the players in the NBA that have this ability.

I can’t wait to see what commercial they come out with next…at any rate enjoy the newest NBA commercial I’ve titled In the Clutch!

NBA All Star Weekend

NBA All Star Weekend

Well another NBA All Star Weekend has concluded and I will summarize my opinion of the weekend in one word…DISAPPOINTMENT! Yes you read it right, I was thoroughly disappointed. The Slam Dunk contest was a complete bore and the actual All Star game was not exciting until the 4th quarter.

Kudos to Nate Robinson for making history with his third slam dunk title but he could have dunked against junior high kids and won! I mean Shannon Brown and Gerald Wallace were supposed to bring and and they didn’t come close! Even Charles Barkley said the competition lacked the luster its had in previous years. Hopefully the competition will rebound next year and flourish like it used to.

D Wade did come through for the East and won his 1st All Star MVP award. I mean the all star team was almost unrecognizable with so many players being injured but Wade and Lebron James provided great highlights for the All Star game.

If someone else feels differently than I do about the NBA All Star Weekend feel free to comment but for the most part I was very un-impressed! Oh well maybe next year it will be better, as the All Star festivities will be held in Cali!

Superbowl Champions

Superbowl Champions!

Wow what a year for the New Orleans Saints! They played their butts off yesterday against the Colts and earned themselves the title of Superbowl Champions! In a hard fought win the Saints overcame a halftime deficit and won the game 31-17.

As I have already said the Minnesota Vikings are and always will be my team but I can’t think of a more deserving team to win the Lombardi Trophy this year besides my Vikings. In fact I actually predicted the Saints would make it to the big game back in December:

Well I don’t mean to toot my own horn but when you know what you think you know and it turns out you really do know what you know its a great feeling!

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints the 2010 Superbowl Champions!

Superbowl Predictions

Delia — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 11:37:44 +0000

Many people pick theirSuperbowl predictions after analyzing the stats, getting information from others or simply making a guess. My Superbowl pick for the 2010 Superbowl is the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints will have their hands full with the Colts because Peyton Manning is always ready to play and is arguably the best quarterback to play the game. But hey if they can beat my Minnesota Vikings then they deserve to win the whole thing!

I feel confident however that Drew Brees will step up and be able to manage his team and lead the franchise to its first ever Superbowl championship.

So in the spirit of Superbowl Predictions I pick the Saints over the Colts 34-31!

Who dat, who dat, who dat say gone beat them Saints!!

NFL Playoff Predictions

Delia — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 06:56:19 +0000

How will I do in my recent NFL Playoff Predictions? Okay so I didn’t fair so well in my Wild Card weekend predictions as I went 1-3, but I think I will have better luck this week. So here are the NFL playoff predictions I have for this week:

SAT 4:30pm EST CARDINALS vs SAINTS

This is going to be a very exciting, high offense game in my book. I think the Cardinals are still riding on he wave from last week when they beat the Packers 51-45 in OT. By the way that was one of the best playoff games I have ever seen!

The Saints on the other hand still managed to salvage a first week bye after dropping their last three games of the season. The Saints are a huge offensive force to mess with and I see them giving the Cardinals all they can handle.
MY PICK: I am going with the New Orleans Saints. I do no see the Saints starting off their season as strong as they did only to loose their last four games. The Cardinals are likely playing without Anquain Boldin which is a huge loss for them. So Saints over Cardinals 31-28

SAT 8:15pm EST RAVENS vs COLTS

I have to give the Ravens a lot of credit because they tore apart the Patriots last week in their wild card game, blowing them out 33-14. So the Ravens take their act on the road again this week but face the Colts. In case you weren’t aware, the Colts have this QB named Peyton Manning, and Peyton Manning is very very good!

Now my pick for this game is a bit of a tossup because I know if Ravens QB Joe Flacco can only muster up 34 yards passing like he did last week the Colts will win. But on the other hand, the Ravens play defense and defense wins games. I am going out on a limb here and this may alter my overall NFL playoff predictions but I think the Ravens can pull it out if the score is close.
MY PICK: Yes folks my upset special is going to be the Ravens over the Colts. Peyton Manning is one of the ten best QB ever to play the game but I think the Colts are going to need more than that to beat the Ravens. I predict the Ravens will advance to their second straight AFC Championship game beating the Colts 17-14.

Tune in tomorrow to for my NFL Playoff Predictions for the games taking place on Sunday!

Lakers Clippers

Delia — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 07:42:13 +0000

Lakers Clippers. As I am a resident of California I always get excited when the Lakers play Clippers. It’s like watching two home games in one, but lets clear the confusion, I am a huge Laker fan. So you can imagine my anger tonight as the Lakers actually lost to the Clippers 102-91 “on the road” tonight.

To the credit of the Clippers they got great production from Baron Davis with 25 points and Chris Kaman (who is on my fantasy basketball team) with 21 points and 14 rebounds. This is also a great moral victory for the Clippers as they have lost nine straight games to the Lakers dating back to 2007. This win also marks the 5th straight Clipper home win for the team.

The Lakers Clippers game was a great game to watch but as I said my team lost! This is third loss for the Lakers in the last nine games. For some teams this is a great record but the Lakers need to get it together. I am a die hard fan so I expect damn near perfection from my Lakers!
