Tracy...poor Tracy

At first glance this picture may say that Tracy McGrady knows how to push people around and to begin this post I must apologize for so much sports talk lately but this one is absolutely necessary. For those of you who don't know, I was born in Provo, UT and lived there until I was 10 years old. I have been watching Utah Jazz basketball for as long as I can remember and can say that through all the years, whether they have been good or bad, I have always stood as a Jazz fan. I loved watching Malone, Stockton, and Hornacek play...If it weren't for Jordan we could have had a couple championships but that's beyond the point. I know it's only the first round but there's something to be said about the comments that Tracy McGrady made regarding the Utah Jazz fans all over the world. He said, and I quote, "We hate Jazz fans. We hate that people think that it's hard to win at Utah. We want to prove them wrong." Not only did you lose game 6 in Utah...we owned you in games 1 and 2 in your own house! Well Tracy...despite your 40 point effort, your coach sat you down with about 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter of game 6 because you were in the midst of an embarrassing loss in Utah that simply proved that you will NEVER leave the first round. Maybe you hate us because we hastle you for never picking up your team when they need it the most. You may have won a scoring title a few years back but I can't count on my hands and feet all the times you got beat on defense just in game 6 alone. YOU ARE HORRIBLE and for all it's worth...Utah Jazz fans all over the world hate you too! Maybe you should think of going into retirement soon because you aren't doing much for any club that you play for. That is the 7th time that you have failed your team in the first round of the playoffs. I could go on and on about HOW MUCH YOU DESERVE TO LOSE, but I think the point has been made. The Jazz own the Rockets. I congratulate them for beating the Jazz twice at home. The Rockets won 2 of the 5 games that the Jazz lost at home all season including the playoffs...but what does it really matter. Tracy...I just have to say...HAVE FUN WATCHING THE JAZZ PLAY THE LAKERS IN THE NEXT ROUND. Best of luck to you next year not getting past round one if you even make the playoffs. I rest my peace and I hate you too.

There's a drive, an approach, and a putt

This week was a good week! When Molly and I moved to Alameda in October there were many times when we would be driving down Central Ave. past Washington Park only to see a bunch of people playing softball under the lights. After some research I found out just recently that the summer league was about to get underway and I was fortunate enough to contact the woman in charge just in time to register for a team. So Boom Goes the Dynamite took the field for the second time after the week 1 loss on Thursday night and we won in a 7th inning thriller 9-7. Down 6-5 in the 6th inning with time running out and only one inning left to play we rallied back in the top of the 7th and scored 4 runs and then were able to hold off Otaez for the win. It was a lot of fun and deserved a thumbs up from Mike, Joel, and I.


So on Saturday Molly and I decided to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather at Golden Gate Park. Joel was working on a story about Disc Golf for his communications program at SFSU and he brought out the camera to finish his story. We got there right in time to meet the big cheeses of bay area disc golf and were able to buy a few discs of our own from them. Although we were probably the only ones out there who weren't high or drunk it was a good experience to participate in San Francisco's Disc Golf culture. We'll be heading out soon to check out some of the other courses they have in Berkeley and Lake Chabot. Here is a clip of Molly's drive on the 11th hole. It was one of the hardest holes on the course. Enjoy...and if you're a fan of challenging sports you might want to give disc golf a try.
