Today in Sports World...

Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees tied Lou Gehrigs all time hits as a Yankee Record so congrats!

Hopefully he won't go hitless in his next game and actually break the record.

The Colorado Rockies came back in the 9th to win the game against the Reds

The Padres are deciding to play spoiler and defeated the Giants.

The Dodgers are currently tied 3-3 in the bottom 8th against the Diamondbacks

Hopefully they can win the game!

In the world of Basketball,

Apparently Allen Iverson tweeted that he is going to sign with the Memphis Grizzlies..what has this world come to...

and Stephon Marbury is planning on retiring, thank God.

In the world of Soccer,

Argentina lost to Paraguay 1-0, whomp whomp whomp which now means Paraguay is going to the World Cup and Argentina is on the verge of being out.

Mexico defeated Honduras 1-0

United States defeated Trinidad and Tobago 1-0

Costa Rica got stunned by El Salvador in injury time by losing 1-0

Both England and Spain won and are both going to the World Cup as well.

OH and 2mrow.....begins NFL FOOTBALL!!!!

Today was a good day so go ahead and follow me on Twitter: @Captain_Sawyer

Second Week of School is done

Before you know it, its gonna be week 15 and I'll be graduating.

damn thats crazy

Any ways, this week was chill regardless of all the hw I had to do,

I've met some pretty cool people so hopefully my networking skills will continue to progress.

Oh and this saturday is the first USC football game of the season!!!

I'm beyond stoked!!!!


On another note:

I'm currently watching the Dodgers game v. Diamondbacks and they need to win this game!

We are supposed to easily beat below .500 teams, I will not tolerate defeat!

This is our year and we need to make sure we have the best record in the NL

Lets do this!!

Sometimes....

the Dodgers beat times and other times they kill them!!!

The Dodgers bounced back from yesterday's defeat and were able to defeat the Red 11-4.

The biggest plus of it all was seeing Manny connect for a homerun in the first inning. Perhaps he is finally coming to form because we will definitely need him in the coming up month.

I'm telling you, nothing is going to stop the Dodgers this year!!!

Some other news today: The Yankees embarrassed the White Sox but only allowing one hit and scoring 11 runs on them

Its good to see the Yankees playing like this. I feel kind of bad for the white sox because I rather see them in the playoffs than the Tigers but we'll see what goes down.

I could have down better but eh, we'll see what goes down.

Yahoo's league draft is next week, which happens to be the official champion match for the year of 2009. Its been an honor to be invited to be in such division but after winning back to back championships, it makes sense.

The Next 2

Today I had my 3 and 4 classes which consist of Real Estate Financing and Management of a Small Business

My Real Estate class seems ok but I was fighting to stay awake which usually means I will be sleeping in that class in the future. Haha o well but the good thing about it is that the professor puts up all her notes online which makes things easier for me!!

It seems like its going to be a challenging class but at least there is no final.

In my Entrepreneurship class, the professor seemed super badass. He is chill and understands us. The best part of it all, there is no mid term and no final!!!! Fuck yeah!! I'm beyond stoked for that!!

Tomorrow I have my last class which is a three hour long Law class =[ epic I know.

The Dodgers just tied the game against the Rockies in the top of the 9th! Thank you Manny Ramirez!

Any who, I received bad news today in my French class when my professor told me my placement exam has expired which means I have to take another one which is not good!

I haven't studied French in 3 years and now I have until Friday 1pm to master French,

I'm fucked!

I seriously need to pull something off in order to pass this shit.

I'll guess we'll see what happens.

One last thing, Like I said in the beginning of the season, the angels signing Bobby Abreu for $5 Million was a steal!

Do yourself a favor and follow the Captain on Twitter: @Captain_Sawyer

First day....

Today was the first day of my last semester at USC

It was an interesting day to say the least.

In my French class, my professor starts to trip me out when she tells me that my placement exam might have expired and I might need to take a new one...

Thats not good news to me folks.... I mean yeah I could test real good and opt of taking my French class but I haven't take French in 3 years which means that I could possibly place lower which would become a serious problem because I need this class to graduate this semester!!!! =[

Man that ticked me off but hopefully my shit is still valid. I just have to wait it out and hope I can remember all my French again.

My second class was my entrepreneurship one that I tried very hard to get into. It was an interesting class with an interesting professor to say the least. I like the fact that he is straight out blunt which in reality will help out in the real world.

We shall see what happens.

I got 3 more classes tomorrow so we'll see what goes down.

I still get kicks out of the intimidation the professors try to impose on their students the first week of school.

Lol oh well.

I Did it!!

So my previous performance was good enough and I was signed on to the team!! I'm officially playing baseball for the season in Division 2 of the Long Beach league. I'm beyond stoked for this!!

Today we had a game but the best part of it was that we were playing at Blair Field, now if you are not familiar with what Blair Field is, here it is:

The place is straight up legit.

It seriously felt like I was playing pro baseball.

Any who, it was an intense game because the pitcher and me had an exchanging of words- apparently the guy doesn't know how to pitch to someone if they are batting inside and would result to hitting the players. I didn't like that and almost got into with him but he was afraid of the confrontation and I ended up just getting into his head. He end up losing because afterwards his pitches were pretty sad and my team took advantage of it.

Nonetheless, we won the game 8-6. I can't wait to play another game here.

I had a very good game and I was pleased with my performance. It feels good getting back to playing baseball.

On an another note...

Oh and eff the Cubs for ending the Dodgers winning streak!

In less than 30 minutes, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will be decking it out. It shall be a badass game.

I'm predicting that there will probably be a clearing of the benches but nonetheless the Yankees will win.

Lets do this!!

Bully Beatdown

Man that show is hilarious.

I can't wait for the next season to come out which is this Thursday.

Thank God this show didn't exist while I was still a bully or else I would have had to go on that show because I'm sure someone would have put me on it.

I'm also excited for the new season of the Fantasy Factory because that shit is hilarious. I mean Rob Drydek is an effin genius!

Nitro Circus is also legit!!

Heres the trailer kids!

Any who, The New York Yankees got destroyed today by the Red sox 14-1 so I guess you can call it payback from last night.

Some good news is that the Dodgers won again which means they now have won 3 straight games, 7 seven more and I'll be happy.

Let's do this!

Great day to be a fan of baseball!

Wow!

The New York Yankees embarrassed the Red Sox at Fenway!!

Final Score: 20-11

That's pretty sad for the Red Sox but it put a smile on my face since I dislike the Red Sox Nation. Yeah I said it! What you gonna do about it?

That division is done, the Yankees are winning it.

The Red Sox better hope they win the wild card but I doubt they will if the Rangers have something to say about it.

The Rangers remind of last years Rays so don't be surprised if they win the wild card!

Also the Red Sox claimed Billy Wagner from the Mets....after their beating by the Yankees, they need all the help they can get.

The Dodgers also had a great game...or should I say the Los Angeles Randy Wolf since Wolf had a spectacular pitching performance and even drove in all the runs to defeat the Cubs 2-1

That's two games in a row for the Dodgers, 8 more for my 10 game win streak!

Lets do this!!

Follow the Captain on Twitter: @Captain_Sawyer

Tonight....

is the night that I will be going to a midnight viewing of Inglorious Bastards!!

I'm a little tired from work and running but I want to see this movie real bad so I will be going with my twin.

Not quite sure which theater we are going to but they better show the damn previews cause their a few theaters that won't show trailers during midnight viewings. WTF is that about huh?

I mean one of the best part of seeing a movie at the theaters are the effin trailers!!!!

Hopefully tomorrow I will give my review of the movie

Any who, I'm a little annoyed about the Dodgers losing yesterday since it was beyond lame and the fact that both the Rockies and Giants won made it worse.

This shit needs to stop like right now. I need like a 10 game winning streak to kick in.

Or else....

Ima be drop kicking people left and right.

So do yourself a favor...avoid getting drop kicked and follow me on Twitter

@Captain_Sawyer

He's Back...and Look Who Ended up Where...

Well well well well, when I retire, I want to be able to retired like 4 times or maybe 6 times just so I can be as cool as those guys who retire only to come back....yeah you know whom I'm talking about...::points at that guy:: Brett Favre is back folks and this time he is wearing purple!

That's right, he has become a Vikings....the arch rival of the Green Bay Packers.

This is a serious deal folks....let me compare this to the baseball world: picture Derek Jeter going to the Red Sox at the end of his contract because the Yankees decided he was not worth it...yeah that's serious.

So you can imagine the crazyness that would occur.

Now I'm super stoked about this because Favre ranks up there in my top 5 favorite football players ever and I was really pissed when the Packers did him dirty. I was excited when he was with the Jets but now I'm beyond excited for his new team. The Vikings haven't had a good passing team since forever and now they have a legit QB and basically have the greatest running back in all of the NFL so this season shall be fun.

I'm definitely waiting for the match up of Vikings v. Packers so keep that day open folks!

The other day I was talking about where John Smoltz might sign...well look what happened....since the Cardinals welcome the notion of allowing Smoltz to start and or be a relieve pitcher, he has decided to sign with the Cardinals.

That means the Dodgers lucked out of getting him =[

O well, we will have to do with what we have especially after we got Vincente Padilla ( I'm a little worried about this one =[ )

Nonetheless, we shall see what happens.

This is our Year!

A few months ago on my twitter account, I made a bold prediction right around Interleague that this year's World Series would include the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

As the season continues, I'm still sticking to the prediction. Both teams are leading their division and both teams seem like they are destined to meet each other.

With all the trades that were made before the deadline and the more that will probably be made during the waiver period, I think regardless of which team gets another player, these teams are still going to meet. Many writers such as Jon Heyman and Ken Rosenthal like to wrap it up and give the title to teams such as the Phillies or the Red Sox but I for one don't agree with their reasoning especially after neither of those writers really give credit to any team except one named the Red Soxs or the Yankees so it kind of makes it difficult to trust their reasoning.

I guess you can say I'm bias since I've been rooting for the Dodgers since I was kid but the reality of the matter is that this truly is our year. This years Dodgers remind me of the Yankees that went on to win their first world series under the helm of Joe Torre.

Funny thing that both the Dodgers and the Yankees are being managed under Joe's so its only a matter of time before they both meet.

Nonetheless, I just wanted to write down some thoughts down and end it on this

The only sports writers/reporters that actually know their stuff in the baseball world are: Buster Olney and Peter Gammons. Those are two guys I actually respect and listen to so everyone else can either follow in their footsteps or jump off a cliff and don't waste the time of the fans.
