Day Nine
Man what a letdown yesterday. The atmosphere at SDSU was amazing, too bad the game did not turn out the way everybody wanted. So yesterdays keys to winning the game were rebounds and free throws, lets look at the stats. While SDSU won the battle of the rebounds 37-32, BYU also shot an amazing 14-24 from behind the arc. Free throws SDSU was 11-16 to BYU 12-14. The biggest stat that was the killer for SDSU was Jimmer's 9 assist. I was amazed watching the cat play. He has skills. I really liked how before the game BYU finishes their shoot around and heads to the locker room. 2 minutes later Jimmer comes off the bench by himself and heads back to the locker room alone to the whole arena booing him. I bet he loved it and did it to fuel his fire. The Show really did put on a show. They did a great job keeping the intensity in the building and doing it rather respectfully. We had some jerk-off student in front of us who kept yelling stupid things about byu, mormons ect. and throwing peanuts at the BYU fans. The SDSU fans around us all kept telling him to stop and be mature, but some kids just don't get it.
The Giants continued their winning ways last night with an 8-3 victory over the bums. Hopefully today we will finally get a look at Brandon Belt who played Defense yesterday and committed an error but didn't get to bat. The Giants play the Dimondbacks again today at 12:10.
After the game I went and had a delicious lunch at URBN with Sarah. On our way there we said we were going to get something new. Once we got there we just couldn't do it. The mash potato pizza is so good we couldn't pass it up.
So after pizza we went to OB to meet up with some friends at a bar called Gallaghers Irish Pub. I will never go to this place again. We were there for close to an hour when the bouncer comes up to us and tells us we had to pay a cover to stay in the bar or leave because they were showing the UFC fights. I have never heard of something so stupid in my life. So we went to Sunshine Company and shot some pool. After that we went to Hamiltons and I had 2 new sours. 1 I didn't like so much. It was the Grand Cru from Brasserie De L'Abbaye Des Rocs. Then I had the Petrus aged ale from Brouwerij Bavik - De Brabandere Sour Ale.
Today we have the Lakers vs Thunder at 11:30 and the Knicks vs. Heat today at 5. I'm going to take the Knicks today +8.5 and the Lakers/Thunder over 201.
I also want to take a minute to congratulate the Clovis High School wrestling team. They became only the 2nd team in California wrestling history to qualify all 14 wrestlers to state. Lead by my boys Zach and Nick Nevills. Next weekend is state and Nick is looking to break Zach record as the heaviest freshman to place at the tournament. This week after I get the brackets I will do a full breakdown of the tournament.

Day Eight - Game Time Ready!!!!
Today is the day. The biggest day in San Diego college sports history. What's at stake? Revenge of the only blemish on a 27-1. A statement against a team that thinks they are too good for the Mountain West. Proof that Kawhi Lenoard is the top player in the conference and a top 10 draft pick. Most importantly a potential number 1 overall seed in the big dance! The students have been in line since Tuesday. It has been the talk of the town all week. Now it is the time to stop the talking get out on that court and prove that SDSU is the better team. A healthy D......J.......GAY! needs to have a big game to offset the Jimmer. The 3 big keys to this game are simple. Rebounding is the most important. Most people will say it's shutting down Jimmer, I disagree. The kid is a scorer and he is going to get his 43 like he did in January, but 25+ is almost a certainty. I watched the BYU vs Colorado State game on weds. night and Colorado keep it close until the final 10 minute they got slaughtered on the boards. The next key is free throws. BYU is shooting .760 as a team from the line. SDSU is shooting .683 from the charity stripe. The third key is not to get overwhelmed at the start and play from behind. The Aztecs have made it a habit this year of playing tight the first half and exploding in the 2nd half, with the exception being the last meeting vs the cougars.
My plays today are
SDSU un 140.5
NJ Nets +8.5
Day 1 of the 2011 spring training in the books and the Giants are 1-0 after a 7-6 victory over the Diamondbacks. reigning ROY Buster Posey started right where he left off going 2-3 with a R and 2 RBI. Today we take on the HATED Dodger and BOOOORIBE.
So after many attempt to eat the Beagle Burger at the Regal Beagle, They have been sold out of it the last 3 times I have gone to have it, I finally had one last night and it was awesome. A burger, cheese and special sauce on a sausage roll. The Beagle has turned into one of the most popular beer and sausage spots in San Diego.
Last night while at the Beagle, I had the collaboration beer between Port, Stone and Green Flash called Highway 78. All 3 breweries are located on the 78 so I'm guessing that is where the name is from. It was a scotch ale. I also had a Dutchess sour beer. A good sour, I have had before and will have it again if it is the only sour on tap. Concecration has my heart and I don't think anything will overtake that except I have high expectations for the New Belgium La Folie.
Alright I am off to the game. Fear the Spear and hopefully we are leaving Viejas Arena with a Victory and some respect from the rest of the nation.

Day Seven - I See Orange People!!!!!
That's right folks your 2010 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS start spring training games today @ 12:05 vs the Diamondbacks. Man I have been ready for this day since the day after we clinched the title. So my players to watch at spring training is (along with everyone else in baseball) Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Thomas Neal and Francisco Peguero. Belt was the talk of the minor leagues last season batting a collective .352 in 3 stops up the ladder to the show. Slugging 23 Home Runs, 10 Triples, and stealing 22 bags. He will get playing time at 1st and left. Brandon Crawford needs to raise his .236 avg if he wants to be a September call up. This is my most interesting follow because he is major league ready with the glove but the bat is nowhere close. He needs to really focus in and get that bat going because he is the heir to SS in the next 2 years. Thomas Neal will start the season in Fresno playing LF and the everyday starter giving way to Belt a few days a week. (Being that Belt doesn't force his way on the roster). Francisco Peguero is another one who will start the season in the minors but with Torres and Rowand contracts coming up in the next 2 seasons, if Peguero can duplicate his .329, 77 RBI, 40 SB seasons he will be the leader to be the future center fielder of the Giants.
Cy Timmy will be taking the ball today but don't look for him to go more than 2 innings.
So last night we went up to Solana Beach to the Belly Up to see Longstay, Justin Forece, and Terreplane Sun. We arrived late and only saw the last 2 songs from Terreplane Sun. Very energetic show and stage presence. Justin Forece is a very talented smooth jazz guitarist with great vocals and lyrics. Then came Longstay, I have seen Longstay two other times. Once and Soda Bar where I was absolutely blown away. Lead by Nik Ewing, who I put in my top 5 musicians in SD. Just did not seem to be into it last night. The energy on stage was flat, they were not meshing well with each other. During certain parts of the show you can see the magic and talent that they have and could posses. This is Longstay last show for a while. From what I've heard Nik, who is also in Lesands and does stuff with The Howls is going on tour with Lesands. Hopefully when they get back Longstay will be revived and ready to show San Diego what they are capable
of being, which is one the best bands in San Diego.
We stopped in Encinitas to have dinner at Encinitas Ale House. Sadly there was no where to sit and we had to get to the show so waiting was not an option. We ended up at Chiefs Burger and Brew in Solana Beach. Good atmosphere with plenty of space and TV's. I had to go with the bacon cheeseburger. I liked the fact that they use big thick strips of bacon. Overall the burger was pretty tasty, I would go back there for a burger before a show, its just had going anywhere in Solana Beach that isn't named Pizza Port.
Album of the day today is Little Dragons - Machine Dream
