my first trip to citifield

August 2nd, 2009 · No Comments

I went to my first ever Mets game at Citifield last night, and it was a good time, especially since the Mets broke a tie in the 8th and beat the Diamondbacks, 6-9.

A lot of offense by both teams, including a beauty of a grand slam by Angel Pagan.
And, as luck would have it, I [...]

penn vs princeton photos

February 18th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Yesterday was Princeton home game of the yearly Penn vs. Princeton men’s basketball matchups.
I had my camera with me for the intent of getting a good Project 365 picture, but with the structure of Jadwin Gymnasium, they don’t exactly have the court blocked off.  So for the second half of the game, I took my [...]

sports new year’s day

February 11th, 2009 · No Comments

My good friend Drew has a modest proposal.  It’s called Sports New Year’s Day.
The idea came to me yesterday while trying to think of ways to avoid Valentines Day. Really, who needs a made up holiday? I resolved that instead of sulking around and thinking about being alone and heartbreak and girls on the 14th, [...]

100 seasons of futility

October 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m currently watching Game 3 of the World Series of the Phillies vs. the Rays, and they keep touting this stat of “100 season of futility” referring to the fact that in 25 years, the four Philadelphia sports teams (Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies) have not won a national championship since the 76ers did it [...]

October 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

The Temple Owls played the Ohio U Chitlin Legs on Tuesday Night on ESPN 2, 5, or 6.  At least, that’s how Bill Cosby called it when he did an intro for the game.
The guys on my favorite morning show, WMMR’s Preston and Steve, played the audio on my way to work and I was [...]

didn’t I write a post about the mets just like this one a year ago?

September 29th, 2008 · No Comments

One year ago I sat at a sports bar in London as the Mets lost their final game of the season to the Florida Marlins which capped their historic collapse in which they blew their seven-game NL East lead with 17 games to go.
Yesterday, the final day of the regular season, the Mets found themselves [...]

even in my dreams the NL loses

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Last night was the MLB All-Star Game, which the AL won 3-4 after 15 innings of battle.
However, I only lasted until the 12th.  Well, more accurately, I lasted until the 9th, fell asleep, and woke up in the 12th and turned the TV off.  I proceeded to have at least two dreams about the “final [...]

So it’s been pointed out to me that I haven’t posted anything new in about a month now.  Well, in alphabetical order, here are a list of things that have kept me busy over the past three weeks.
Battlestar Galactica – A few weeks ago, I was about to take a nap when Kristine flipped on [...]

super bowl champions and a pie chart

February 5th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This past Sunday was the greatest Super Bowl ever.  Clearly I am biased because I am a New York Giants fan, but you have to admit that was an amazing game.
Here are my personal highlights from the 2007 NFL Season:

Watching the opening game of the season against the Cowboys on Tay-Tay’s crazy 50-something inch TV.
