H2HWS: California South quarterfinals

Well it looks like it is going to be San Fransisco and San Fransisco advancing to the Inglewood quarter finals, as both the Pacificans and Giants cruised to easy victories.

The Pacificans attack was lead by Alex Rodriguez early and often, and somebody must have told Kid Wonderful that these Yankee games are meaningless, because he simply teed off. It was a great run by the Cal Blaze, but in the end Grady Sizemore and company simply came up short.

Hope you had a backup

Just a partial listing of the players that went down in week one. Its safe to say the Quarterback position just became a little thinner.

Hope you had a backup.

Captains's (B)log: England South Playoffs Round 1

No surprises in the first round of England South, as, just for once, the 3rd & 4th seeded teams both won their matchups - one comfortably; the other still in doubt until the final day...

Captain's (B)log: H2HWS Playoffs Round 1

If you were following the daily updates on last week's Blog, you'll know that one of the 1st-round games was pretty much decided by midweek, but the other was subject to a dramatic late surge by one of the teams. But did they do enough to take the tie? Here are the results...

4 teams move on, 2 of course that had been waiting to continue the road to the Illinois championship of the H2HWS,

Chad Ocho Cinco

I have spent the last ten minutes just balling, simply 'cus I was laughing so damn hard.

I went in to set my fantasy football lineups before week one begins, and noticed I had Chad Ocho Cinco starting at wide receiver. I don't remember drafting an Ocho Cinco, I would have remembered that. I thought I heard a little something about this from the world wide leader, but I had no idea the fool actually did it, like official and everything.

NFL Week 1, last minute decisions.

A collection of scribes to help you set your week one roster. If there is somebody you like to read regularly, let me know, and we will be sure to link to them. I will probably pare this list down a bit as the season goes on, in an attempt to just keep the best sources of information. hope it helps.

Astros pitcher tests positive

50 games for an amphetamine means this was the third time he was busted, correct? This is the minor league program so I could be wrong. I Googled it but there is not a lot out there on the minor league program. I know Mike Cameron got caught twice, and he did 25 days his second time around, so 50 games should mean this is the third positive .. I believe.

I figure over the next two or three seasons, there will be a bunch of players getting handed these kind of suspensions as two and three time offenders. The players only get tested a couple of times each season, and the first failure is kept private. Of course once you pee positive, you get tested even more.

Predicting who will get busted is impossible, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a run of infielders. Call it a gut feeling.

162 games is a grind.

Now who’s better — Kobe or LeBron?

Cal me a homer, but I am going to go with Kobe everyday and Sunday.

Wait ..

especially on a Sunday. Kobe is clutch!

OCRegister.com What the blogger failed to mention, however, was Bryant’s performance in tough situations. How about the number of clutch plays down the stretch, 20-foot jumpers with a guy’s hand in his face? Or leaving two defenders in the dust for a game-winning layup? Does 81 points in a game ring a bell?

Sure, Bryant had help (Shaquille O’Neal) in winning three NBA titles. James has none, so far. But until he can sport one of those diamond-studded NBA championship rings, there really is no argument about who’s better.

Pat Riley to enter Basketball Hall of Fame

Props to you Pat. the hardest working, and classiest guy in the NBA.

He better have a Laker tie on during his induction ceremony, or i'll be very disappointed

well there goes that season.

So yeah, I am pretty much toast. I own Carlos Quentin for $12.00 over the next couple of seasons in my 16 team keeper league. Many of you know it as the Hot Stove. Heck many of you play in it. Captain does, so does the Yote, and Kyle too. I am probably forgetting somebody but that thats not the point.

I currently reside in second place, eight points out, with about a 50% chance of catching the leader. I need wins and K's, and I am coming on strong. traded for Rich Harden, Chad Billingsley and a few other arms.

H2HWS: Canada week 22

Hey look guys.

Canada!

Chatter: Mexicali

I haven't been near Mexicali or Yuma lately, but it is right out my back door, a simple three or four hour drive, and next February the 2009 Caribbean Series, the “Serie del Caribe”, will be held in Mexicali.

Why Mexicali I have no idea. I always remember the area having nothing but a bunch of farm land, lots of factories, being insanely hot, and pretty much a dump. Thankfully this is the winter leagues, eh?

If you ever bought something that said made in Mexico, chances are, it came from Mexicali.

The Serie del Caribe teams are typically from Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, and many Major League players are called on to fill the rosters, so the quality of play is high, with national pride often at stake.

Wikipedia - Mexicali Baseball

The Águilas de Mexicali is a Mexican baseball team playing for the Liga Mexicana del Pacífico in Mexicali, Baja California.

The team was founded in October 14, 1976. They have won the championship three times, 1985-1986, 1988-1989, 1998-1999. The team also won the 1986 Caribbean Series, played in Venezuela. Their brightest moment came when they won the 1986 Caribbean Series, only becoming the second Mexican team to take the title

Top team in California.
