Spring Training 2011: Day Two
Coming up on Day Two: the Grand Canyon and a rare spring training night game. What could be better?
Spring Training 2011: Day One
It’s that time of year again! The Ides of March have just passed which means it’s time for me and my brother to head out to Arizona and take in some Cactus League baseball.
The streak is finally over
It took going into overtime, but almost two months after their last win (back on December 18 which also happened to be in overtime), the Cleveland Cavaliers finally won a game, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 126 – 119. The Cavs’ 26 losses in a row tied the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ record (back in 1977) …
Bucs finish strong, but miss out on the playoffs
After finishing with only 3 wins last year, my Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the defending Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints 23-13 to close out the regular season with a 10-6 record.

Congratulations Rays! With their win over Baltimore tonight, the Tampa Bay Rays clinched their second playoff berth in three years, eliminating the Red Sox from the wildcard race. Now they just need to hold on for the remaining few games, hopefully extend their half-game lead over the Yankees, and win the Eastern division.
Football split decision
I knew it was going to be a tough start to the 2010 NFL season because one of my two favorite teams was guaranteed to start with a loss. That’s because the Cleveland Browns were in town playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener. The last time these two teams played each other …
Night out at Tropicana Field
We went out to Tropicana Field tonight to see the Cleveland Indians take on the Tampa Bay Rays. Wow, parking at the Trop is now $20! I miss the good old days (i.e., before the 2008 World Series season) when parking was free! Anyway … My daughter was in need of a new Rays t-shirt …
