2012 College World Series Update 6/22/12

Arizona SP Konner Wade has had the performance of the CWS so far, pitching a complete game shutout against UCLA.  The Wildcats have already claimed their place in the CWS Championship Series.  Who will join them, Arkansas or South Carolina?

Check out the video below for a Series recap, where I discuss the following:

  • Mike Martin: 21 trips to the CWS and 0 national titles
  • Florida chokes again; Kent State surprises
  • UCLA doesn't get the job done
  • South Carolina/Arkansas winner take all preview!

The Heat Win!!! The Miami Heat beat the OKC Thunder for the NBA Championship








I picked the the Miami Heat to beat the Thunder before the playoffs started. LeBron James took a step towards being great, maybe LeBron isn't so overrated anymore...

"What a Chin!" Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Andy Lee






Saturday night, June 16, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.(46-0-1) beat Andy Lee(28-2), badly. Lee is a good fighter who was born in London, England, but is of Irish hertiage. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. just keeps getting better and is starting to fit into his father's big shoes.

2012 College World Series Preview and Predictions

Stony Brook will get the majority of the press, but can they shock the world and win the National Championship?
Here is my preview of the 2012 College World Series, complete with team-by-team analysis and overall predictions.  My "Cut Half My Face Off" video technique is in full force here as well.  If it's too annoying, just listen to the video and pop up another window while you listen.  I guess I may have to fire my tech guy...


What do you think about the 2012 CWS?  Are you buying the Stony Brook hype?  Can Mike Martin finally win the big one?  Drop me a comment in the box below, I love talking college baseball!

BUY THE HYPE: Bryce Harper

Yes, I said it...BUY THE HYPE ON BRYCE HARPER!!!
Here's my explanation on why 19 year old phenom Bryce Harper is as sure a bet as there is:


Here are some Bryce Harper Highlights you need to check out!  Just watch the hustle plays and the pitches he's hitting HARD...


Video 1:  Here's a hustle double on a softly hit ball to left.  Kind of hard to see once the fans stand up, but you can see the whole replay on the video board.


Video 2:  Look at where this pitch is-it it 8 inches off the inside corner!  He gets his hands through and barrels it off the wall, only a few feet shy of a home run.


Videos 3 and 4:  Here's his first big league homer.  On a curveball that may not even be a strike, it was pretty low.  The second clip is another bomb on a breaking ball against the Braves




Video 5:  Here is Harper's first career walk off hit, in the 12th inning against the Mets.  The video quality isn't outstanding, but it shows his two-strike approach, going to the opposite field on a pitch off the plate.  In other words a PROFESSIONAL HITTER.

NBA Finals Preview "Will the Real Big 3 Please Stand Up!"









This is "Middle Class" Matt, the average sports' fan and genius, with a review of the NBA Playoffs and a Preview of the NBA Finals. Here are a few questions this blog entry asks, "Will the Real Big 3 Please Stand up?" "Will LeBron James Finally get a Ring?" "Who is the Best Player in the game?" and "Which NBA Team will be the next Dynasty?" No matter what the answers are, basketball fans should be excited that they are going to see basketball played at it's highest level. This should be a historic series.

Rematch!!! Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao vs. Timothty Bradley Recap II


 



 
CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE FOR THE WHOLE STORY


Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao was cheated! Timothy Bradley was awarded the victory by the judges in a split desicion, yet most experts feel Manny won the fight. Some say it's the worst decision in boxing history!

Now the demi-gods who rule the boxing world, have already scheduled a rematch! A loss, in boxing is a big deal, especially with a fighter the age of Manny Pacquiao(33). I wondered how Manny's newfound dedication to his faith would come into play in this fight. I didn't notice any thing different really when the fight was going on, but I have to believe Manny's faith came into play after the fight. Manny handled the loss and terrible decision by the judges with such grace and dignity. After training and fighting so hard, Manny was robbed of a victory and yet he seemed to have a peace that wasn't there before.

The rematch, of course is all about money. In the video below you can see Timothy Bradley already promoting the rematch. The check that Timothy Bradley holds up(at the 6:10 minute mark of the video) has the price of a ticket($1200) for a seat and pay-per-view will cost $60 or $70. The greedy men who rule boxing will expect us to pay the price, and many will. This is the problem with the boxing world.
