Lords of the Rings.
Written October 31, 2014. It’s 7:10am as I type this, but I’ve been up since 3. At about 6:30am, I got out the shower and proceeded to play Queen’s “We Are The Champions” over the airport , so that it was just loud enough to hear upstairs as I got ready. I grabbed the white jacket hanging in the back of my closet that’s a size too big for me, and took it off its hanger. Then, I cried. I don’t wear that jacket. It’s a Medium (I’m a small), it’s all white (I’m clumsy) and it’s

The Hunt For Orange October.
September baseball is nearing its end, and the hunt for orange October is upon us. This means I will be drinking a lot more than usual, and once again blabbering away about my beloved SF Giants. As you know, I love them. Basketball is my sport, but the SF Giants is my team. I was watching a game recently where Brandon Crawford made a hit that was a turning point in the game. It was followed by Kruk and Kuip commentary about how Barry Bonds guest coached the team every now and

Stick With You.
From breaking things in the apartment during Warrior games, to volunteering for the SF Giants commercials, the last few weeks of my life have revolved heavily around sports. But the highlight was definitely touring the ‘Stick. Although Candlestick Park is where I first fell in love with the San Francisco Giants, I obviously have ridiculous love for the 49ers and all their faithfuls. I got goosebumps walking through the hallways, and almost cried in the locker room (not to be

Balls. Just BALLS.
While everyone is eagerly anticipating this Sunday’s Niner vs. Seahawks game, I am still reveling over this 3-pointer from Curry during last Friday’s game against the Celtics. Iggy was on fire that night, and with his other two buzzer beaters I knew the winning shot would be between him and Curry. I’m glad he’s improving as a clutch player, and Boston didn’t make use of those last two seconds. I suppose I’ll consider buying a Curry jersey soon. I said I’ll think about it (If

Go Ahead And Tell Everybody.
I’ve always loved commercials involving sports. They’re all so motivational, and make me feel like joining a triathlon when I can’t even swim. The Under Armour “Protect This House” and Gatorade “Win From Within” campaigns are a few of my past favorites. Beats By Dre’s “Hear What You Want To Hear” is now on top of my list. Genius concept, and Colin Kapernick is definitely not bad to look at. #49ers #sports #imtheman #beatsbydre #colinkapernick #aloeblacc #football #commercials

Bitches, Beers and Balls.
Photo courtesy of USA TODAY Sports Personally, there’s close to nothing better than watching a day game at AT&T Park on a sunny afternoon. Yesterday I did just that, and the tussle above between Bumgarner and Guzman was the second best thing to happen next to us winning the series. Between tensions rising in the NL West and the NBA finals – I’m exhausted. Not to mention slowly developing a baby beer belly. Thank God I get a break during football season, and have yet to attend

Niner Gang.
Congratulations to all you Niner Faithfuls on last Saturday’s win! My friends know that I am NOT a football fan, but EVERYONE knows I put on for my city. I’ve come to realize that football is probably the most celebrated sport here in the United States. I met up with a friend at Finnerty’s 1.5 hours before kick off and they were already at capacity and had a line down the block! Even the SF Giants World Series wasnt like that. But we ended up about 6 blocks away at a bar call
