Lakers Champs Again!!!

Once again and for the second year in a row, the Los Angeles Lakers are NBA Champions!  I was so happy to see them take the Boston Celtics especially since it went to a game 7! I'm a bit late writing this but while I sit in my London hotel room I figured it was time I said congrats to the champs once again!!!!

Catching up...

Hey friends how is everyone? Sorry I have been MIA when it comes to blogging but I was overseas for the past few months and had limited wifi/sports info.  Anyways I'm back and ready to get back on the blogging train.  Here are some updates on current events!


LAKERS vs CELTICS!

So far this has been a great NBA finals match-up.  It doesn't get much better than LA vs Boston, such a great rivalry!  I watched game one in the lobby of a hotel in Berlin at 3am but luckily was back in the states by game 2.  Kobe has averaged his usual 27-29ish PPG but some of the other top players on both teams haven't been as consistent as expected.  However Ray Allen did have and amazing game 2 or at least a great first half in that game.  Players like Nate Robinson, Glen "Big Baby" Davis, and other bench players have been lights out and keeping things close.  Look for the game 5 to be a shoot out with all the big stars being involved!


Dodgers take over first place...

only to give back to the Padres yesterday.  Either way the Dodgers are having a solid season and should stay in a fight for first place the remainder of the season.  I made it to a game the other night finally after being out of town so long(too late in the season to be my first attended Dodgers game).  It was awesome because it was the third and final game of the series against the Cardinals who we beat that night to complete a sweep.

2010 World Cup

Worth mentioning but I really can't get into Soccer/Futbol.  I love America however so I will be watching and rooting for the USA harder than anyone!  Also Nike sent us the real deal USA jersey's to wear! Pretty cool!!!


Kurt Busch!

While away looks like my Nascar driver, Kurt Busch, racked up a couple of wins as well as a ton of top 5 and top 10 finishes!  This puts him in 4th place in the overall cup standings and only a few hundred points out of first!  Go Kurt!

First MLB game of the year!!!

So yesterday on our day off in Denver we decided to catch the Mets vs. Rockies game at Coors Field!  It was my first game of the 2010 season and my first time ever at Coors Field.  Their were 15 of us that went so our actual tickets were deep in the outfield but after a few innings we just walked around the stadium checking out views from all around.  The Mets made the Rockies look pretty bad and won 5-0 but we all still had a great time.  I taught some of the guys how to eat whole peanuts which they thought was crazy, haha.  Anyways here are a few pics from the game!

BASEBALL!!!!!!

Baseball season is finally here!  Sorry tour has kept me from blogging pretty much at all over the past month. I am however excited that the start of the baseball season has been awesome so far.  We had a great day off somewhere strange in Kansas yesterday and got to tailgate outside of our bus while watching the first Dodgers home game of the year, which they won by the way!  Homers by Manny, Kemp, Either, and Blake helped the Dodgers grab their first home win of the season.  So excited for the rest of the baseball season but I won't leave out the upcoming NBA and NHL post seasons which will be well worth watching also.  Lots of great sports coming up in these next few weeks! GO DODGERS!!!

Back to the States and back to Blogging!

Sorry I have been slacking on blogging as of late but this current tour we are on has been very time consuming.  However playing twice a night has been great and things are going over very well.  I'm in New Jersey today and will be playing throughout the east coast this next week follow our last trip to Canada.  I will get back to sports blogging sometime tonight or tomorrow, until then I will leave with you a few pictures from the road!

My view from stage at SXSW in Austin, TX

Home for the next few months!

Night 1 at SXSW!

I'm back!!!

Sorry for the lack of blogging this past week, all of my time was taken up by the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, TX.  This year was an amazing time as usual.  I saw a bunch of great music as well as a bunch of great friends all while eating too much amazing food.  The only thing that went wrong this past week was the season ending showing in the NCAA tournament by my Louisville Cardinals.  Oh well, it was a up and down season that kept us all frustrated.  Bring on next year as well as Justin Coleman and company(incoming freshman class).  My bracket is pretty busted however I still could end up having some elite 8 as well as final 4 teams in there.  I'm currently blogging from my bunk in our tour bus so my internet isn't the fastest.  I will be blogging more asap I promise.  I will leave you with a quick picture from SXSW!

My view from stage while we played the Mess with Texas showcase at SXSW!

All seeds are set and ready to go in the 2010 NCAA Tournament: Cards get in as a 9 seed, set to face #8 seed Cal.

Its finally here!!!  So now its time to get your brackets filled out and pull out all of you favorite teams gear and put it on.  This is the best time of year for basketball, right after the tournament seeds are announced and before it actually begins.  I'm so excited for this years tourney and hope that my Cards can put together a good run!  Anyone could take this tournament really because all teams except UK and Kansas have shown signs of having major flaws at times.  Should be an interesting one and there will for sure be most post to come!
