Ducks 1 - Cougars 0
http://www.yahoo.com/s/675602
Posted: 12:41 AM, Saturday, September 8, 2007
The University of Oregon Athletic Department announced Friday that the Duck mascot will be suspended for next Saturday’s home game against Fresno State. The action comes after two incidents between the Duck and the University of Houston Cougar mascot in both the first and second halves of last Saturday’s game at Autzen Stadium.
Two students were involved. As is often the case, the students each wore the Duck outfit for one half, UO sports information director Dave Williford said Friday by telephone from Ann Arbor, Mich., where Oregon takes on the Michigan Wolverines Saturday in a nationally televised game that begins at 12:30 p.m. on ABC. “At least three, but maybe more” students serve as the Duck mascot, Williford said.
The Duck is in Ann Arbor, Williford said. Exactly what he’ll be allowed to do is unclear, but he’s not suspended for the Michigan game, Williford said. In addition to the one-game suspension, other disciplinary measures will be taken against the two UO students involved in altercations, he said. “There’s some other things, yes, but I can’t go into that for privacy reasons,” Williford said.
In the first half of the Houston game, the Duck approached the Cougar mascot on the field and appeared to kick him in the side after he mimicked the Duck by doing pushups after Houston scored a touchdown. The Cougar then tackled the Duck as he went back to the sideline. In a scene that nded up on YouTube this week, the Duck can then be seen punching the Cougar for about 20 seconds.
Hey Duck, don't try that *hit in LA. Trojan mascot is on a big horse and has a giant sword. I'd like to see you try to beat up on that.
Welcome to the Pac-10... :)

Don't Mess with Armadillo
Pardon the long silence. This blogger has been extremely busy with work and attending social events (yes, I do have a life damn it).
Hilarious article of the day:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/09/12/bc.cyc.tourofmissourii.ap/index.html
Anyways, as an active cyclist, these are the days that you wish you were 30 seconds back and holding a digital camera.
For the record, Armadillos are SLOW MOVING animals. How blind or sluggish do you have to be to hit them? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillo

Angels spank Yankees, Garret Anderson goes nuts
There are few things like watching baseball at the Big A on a warm summer night. The clear sky, the beautiful lights, and 30,000 people chanting "Yankees Suck!". Ahhh, welcome to Rally Monkey land. On this night however, the jumping critter does not need to make an appearance as Garret Anderson rocks the house with 10 RBI's, 2 HR (1 Grand Slam), and 2 Doubles.
There were a lot of Yankee fans at the park. If I had to guess, 1/4 of the fans were cheering for the Yankees. Anyways, they were piling out of the ball park by 3rd inning as Angels went up by 7 in the 3rd inning and rocked Yankee starter Mike "Moose" Mussina for 7 runs before he had 5 outs.
This blogger was happy to witness history as GA sets franchise record for RBIs in 1 game. Go Angels!

Shaq Sucks
2004 - Lakers traded Shaq to Miami. 2007, damn, he can't even make a basket over a bunch of Chinese dudes...

Yes he can bend it!
In his first start for the Galaxy Beckham nails his patented free kick!
This blogger was happy to be at the game, in the cheap seats, behind the goal...here are a couple of pics.
The Action at HDC
Lining up for Goal scoring free kick
Second Half freekick that was saved
The Galaxy beat DC United 2-0 to move on to the finals of the SuperLiga against the Mexican team Pachuca who earlier had beaten FC Dallas on penalties. The final will be held Wednesday, August 29 at 7 p.m. PT at Home Depot Center. Look here for tickets
http://www.mlsnet.com/t106/tickets/
Overall I felt the game had a bit more speed and skill than games I have seen before at Home Depot. There was a buzz in the air for the 18,000 some crowd. Though nowhere near capacity it was an impressive turn out for a Wednesday night game for a non-regular season match.
The Galaxy as a team still has far to go to play as a unit and to get used to expecting and handling some of the sublime passing displayed by Beckham. They are a team with some good talent, but I think it will be next year before we see any real return on it. Beckham came on to the field wearing the captains' armband and his leadership skills were never in doubt.
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=453684&root=mls&cc=5901
In the mean time it was nice too be part of a special night and to actually see a Beckham's free kick in person.

Rally Monkey Got Fired
Its Friday... I'm being productive at work. Yah, anyways its lunch time, and I figure I add another video link in.
Gotta love those ESPN commercials.
Angels open up against the Twins this evening, but the big series is against the NY Yankees in about 10 days.

The Steroid Era Revisited: An Alternative Opinion
The pundits have spoken, and steroids, it would seem, are a bad thing. Performance enhancing drugs have undermined the integrity of a variety of sports over the past 25 years. This was not a big deal to Americans when the occasional track athlete or Olympic swimmer tested positive for performance enhancing substances. Steroid abuse, when a problem in the NFL, did not seem to bother the American sports spectator much either. In fact, I would argue that steroids enhanced the spectacle of NFL games through making already highly aggressive players even more so.
Why then the uproar about steroid abuse denigrating the overall legacy of baseball? The shadow of unsubstantiated steroid abuse on Lance Armstrong did not diminish his Tour De France victories for most Americans. Nor did the steroid taint, whether real or imagined, diminish the overall viability of bicycling as a sport. Perhaps this is because it never had any viability as a sport to begin with… I digress.
Many sportswriters have noted that records are more important to baseball’s continuity and legacy than statistics are to the other major sports played in America. They argue that baseball’s history and emphasis on personal achievement within the framework of the team game enhances the overall value of player statistics. Thus, many baseball “purists” such as Bob Costas do not recognize as legitimate the achievements of steroid era players. An asterisk will undoubtedly follow the recorded achievements of players such as Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmiero, Jason Giambi and lest we forget, Brady Anderson.* (50 homeruns in 1996, yeah right)
But what sportswriters and fans seem to forget is that steroids actually saved the game of baseball in the mid-1990s. The purists who denounce Barry Bonds for his suspected use of steroids forget that baseball suffered record lows in fan attendance following the strike of 1994. Is it any wonder that a proliferation of steroid abuse followed in the wake of a strike that resulted in the cancellation of the World Series? In 1998, McGwire and Sosa were praised as the saviors of baseball as they battled for the single season homerun record. Fans who had left the game because the continuity of play had been broken in 1994 were drawn back into the sport when these two sluggers began to challenge the storied single season homerun record. Players who were hitting 60 and 70 homeruns a season were reestablishing the historical continuity that had been lost in 1994. They drew the nation’s focus onto baseball’s history and in so doing they established a new, statistical legacy. Put simply, steroids brought fans back into the parks through reestablishing a historical connection with past achievements.
Commissioner Bud Selig and other MLB officials claim to have not known about steroid abuse in the late 1990’s and this may well have been the case. However, baseball officials certainly were not looking to stem the renewed interest in the sport that was generated by the game’s sluggers during this era. Whether due to professional negligence or selective reasoning, MLB gave players the green light to use steroids. Now, years later when players like Bonds are breaking baseball’s sacrosanct records, they are chided for tainting the game when in fact they are the generation of ballplayers who saved baseball from cultural irrelevance.
Baseball is a game that weighs heavily on the American consciousness. Many Americans feel that as a game, it represents the uniqueness of the American ethos. How, therefore, can Americans accept the accomplishments of players who may have been cheating? The American people should not accept cheating in baseball or any sport. However, steroid era players whether abusers of performance enhancing drugs or not have played a critical role in reestablishing the game’s cultural viability in the wake of waning public interest. A feat they probably would not have been able to accomplish without the use of performance enhancing drugs.
*Saved professional baseball from cultural irrelevance.

Beckham is big news even as Galaxy continue to suck
David Beckham finally made his competitive match MLS debut for the LA Galaxy in a 1-0 loss to DC United.
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=215310&cc=5901
The Galaxy are in second to last in the MLS Western Division with 6 games in hand. If they were to magically to win all 6 they would be in 2nd place based on current standing. Of course none of this really matters to anyone but a die-hard LA Galaxy fan (not that there is such a thing in the City of Angels for any sport) .
The real story is Beckham. He's plastered on billboards and is the top story on most of the top sports networks. At the end of the day the MLS, ESPN and the Galaxy are just business out to make a buck and they have been making millions of them on name of Sir Beckham (no he's not a knight...yet).
http://www.socceramerica.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticleHomePage&art_aid=22565
It really is a shame, because people do forget that behind all the flash and marketing hoopla is a hard working and solid midfield player, probably the best right foot in the world, and a man who truly does love being out on the field and playing the game the best he can. Also let's not forget about the MLS a league that has slowly but surely grown and prospered over the last 10 years. It will never be the NFL or NBA, but there are plenty of fans and passerbys to go around to keep things on the rise and with players of Beckham's, Miguel Angel's (New England) and Blanco's (Chicago) caliber coming to the leauge this can only be good news for our young players and for fans alike.
All that being said the MLS is still a little ways off from a top flight world league so do try to catch the opening of the Barclays English Premire League (BPL) season debuting on Fox Soccer Channel this weekend!

Barry Bonds - #756
So, Bonds finally makes contact and hits home run #756.
http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=207187&cl=3623916&ch=207401&src=sports
People love to hate him, and hate to love him. He's like baseball version of our own Kobe. Anyways, congrats to SF Giants and their #25. The steroid injecting slugger hit a home run for the last place team in NL West, yet gets national headline. Yawn... Only in America.
Anyways, I think this record is important, and the most classy part of the evening is when Hank Aaron delivered an eloquent congratulations to Mr. Bonds.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070808&content_id=2136645&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb
This blogger did not watch Barry Bonds live at bat on ESPN. Instead, he was watching the Angels running the Boston Red Sox wild in Angels Stadium, where suicide squeezes are executed perfectly on daily basis. Angels 10 - Red Sox 4. Take that.
UPDATE: The entire at bat is available to view on Youtube. Link is available here.

Orange County - Bike Trail
This is one of many bike trails in Orange County. It takes you from Irvine all the way too Back Bay Newport Beach, and as far as Huntington Beach/Seal Beach on the north side. The first photo is taken at the entrance from Irvine Spectrum (Alton and Pacifica) and the second photo is taken at the Bill Barber Memorial Park off Barranca and Harvard.
This blogger had a nice sunday ride with family. Will post more photos (from Back Bay) next week.
PS. I think cycling is one of the best exercises. Very little stress on your knees, excellent cardio training, and a great way to do some sight seeing.

Angels Baseball - Good Series against Seattle
8/1/2007 - Seattle Mariners 8 - Los Angeles Angels 7
Angels were down 7-4 in the 9th when Vlad singles home Cabrera and Matthews jacks a 2-run homerun off JJ Putz to tie the game. After 3 extra innings, Angels succumbed to Mariners when Lopez singles home the winning run. Good series overall, and while I'm a die hard Angels fan, I respect the Mariners as well. Ichiro is the shit. Watch him gun down Vlad from centerfield in the ESPN video.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270801112
Recap Available Here
http://www.ocregister.com/sports/angels-mariners-one-1795209-infield-inning
Overall, one of the best baseball game I've seen in a while. Last great one? Dodgers vs Padres, when they went back-to-back 4 times against a great bull pen, and Nomar, I mean Mr. Hamm, finished it with a walk-off.

Top Recruit Chooses UCLA for Basketball
As Bill Walton would say: "That's the most impressive shot in the Western Civilization!"
For the record, the Bruins went to the Final 4 for the last 2 years, and now they get this monster in the middle. Crazy. In case you are wondering. This man is their new starting center. His name is Kevin Love, a McDonald All-American, best big man in the country, and soon to be breaking backboards in your nearest Pac-10 stadium. Hopefully the kid will stick around for a couple of years.
USC Football - Greatest Team Ever?
Jim Harbaugh, coach of the Stanford Football team, commented that the current USC football team may be the greatest ever.

Shortly after, Coach Harbaugh dissed the Michigan football program in recruiting players who are academically challenged to the program

After reading these articles, this blogger has only two questions:
1. Stanford is in the Pac-10?
2. Who's Jim Harbaugh?

City of Irvine hosts some of the nicest sports fields in Southern California, and the City's softball leagues are some of the best. I've been playing in it for about a year now.

LA Galaxy - SuperLiga Action
Nice to see some good soccer action in Southern California. Are the Galaxy any good? Compare to the premiere European clubs? Not really, but are they watchable? Yes. Hopefully David Beckham will bring some additional attention to this support. Otherwise, ESPN will resort to showing every Barry Bonds at-bat for the next month.

LA Angels: Trade Rumors
"People familiar with the Mark Teixeira trade talks say the Angels are belying their usual California cool and being "very persistent" in their efforts to land the switch-hitting slugger, who would be the perfect complement to Vladimir Guerrero."
