Okay, so it's already the middle of March and I haven't read any of the attention-traffic seeking blabbers in Pacland. I guess that means I don't have a lot of time in my hands to spare knowing that Pacquiao's fight is in May. I am beginning to think that sports and games have moved on without me, that the thrill and competitive spirit in me are put on the bench to warm their asses off.

Just imagine this, the most I can do with the most highly anticipated video game is not to even devour its pirated release, but only to read about IT (CALL OF DUTY) My PS2 has moved on to its next life and all that's left of my sport duties is to make sure I don't miss just one of the basketball running shootouts that happens only twice a month.

Some people in our own PBA itself has lost their marbles with all those trade-ala-NBA madness that not only looked so off-putting but just plain illogical, and NBAesque in a negative sense. We not only dream to be playing the selfish styles of the James and the Bryants but also wants to manage like the Cubans and the whoever that new Russian owner of the Nets is.

All it took for me to realize the lack of invigorating activities is the heavy panting after heaving my blubber body to a lowly 4th floor. Finishing the article about how Cotto defeated Mayorga was even more difficult than actually dreaming of watching it. Pacman by the way should face a tougher threat from Mosley come this May. A lot more power and sting than the petty blank threats Mayweather continuously manages to pull off everytime boxing is concerned.

Finally, an article on Baseball in Yahoo Philippines

2011-02-01T11:31:00.000-08:00

FInally, an article in Yahoo Philippines talking about the possible revival of baseball. I mean come on, what are you talking about, of course it can be revived, and it should be Revived. Stop all the basketball frenzy, it;'s ok to love the sport but i guess not to the point of deliberately pushing ourselves to hope and wish that we can actually compete with the best in Asia, not to say, well, internationally.?

I have nothing against basketball, I've learned the game as early as i did baseball, and have become a pretty decent ball player after all those years of playing too. But the end of our hopes with the sport is coming to an end, Smart Gilas can hardly beat middle eastern countries, or countries who've just learned the game a mere 5 to 10 years ago.

Unless these formulated milks we have on market right now create 6 footers off our babies in the next 10 to 15 years, i'd say we stick to cheering our PBA's All FIlipino Cups.

So here is my comment i posted on the article - and because I dont have time to blog right now, i'd keep the rest of my thoughts to myself for now.

Baseball is a beautiful game. iI'm a fan of basketball american football and soccer and other sports too, but the joy and the "high" one gets from baseball is totally different. it;s like a heart attack divided in to 9 innings someone said.

I grew up in cavite, one of those little leaguers who beat the US in the 90's was one of my playmates, and moving to zamboanga city, i marveled watching some of them grow up and still play the game because of their love of the sport. I played the game throughout my life, even now that i'm working and i have a family, i look for an avenue to play.

I absolutely have no doubt in my mind that Filipinos can excel in baseball. We have the knowledge and history of the sport, we have experienced elders who can inspire and teach kids. WHat we need is the avenue and the right amount of support to boost the sports popularity. Once we get people interested again, we can start improving our game, techniques, facilities etc.

Godfather Pacquiao, Khan and GSP

2010-12-12T14:59:00.000-08:00

If I was given the chance to shoot Manny Pacquiao, it would look something like this too, and have those 8 championship belts hanging on the wall in grand shiny fashion. So good job for hot momma Jinkee for choosing-Godfather as the theme for Pacman's birthday party.

Not that Pacman would need a better theme different other than his own Historic Legacy, but teh Godfather is a great movie, such a classic, it's just a good fit. Just look at the picture, that's every average Filipino male adults dream job, albeit the guns, gold and corruption, it's just flat out Cool. Read futher about it examiner article

Anyway, I did not have the chance to see how Amir Khan fared against power puncher Maidana today, and how he accordingly survived a 10th round pillage by Maidana amidst the power punches thrown the entire fight.

The fight should have been one of the best fights the last quarter of 2010 can offer, but based on reports, only about 5,000 people decided that it's worth to watch live in Las Vegas.

Amir Khan will have the baddest nickname these days if he becomes the 140 lb champion. I mean, come on, if I was born with the surename, i'd definitely take boxing or MMA a serious career just to get the chance to call myself King Khan or The Razor, if it rhymes with your name.
Nevertheless, the King proved he has a better chin than what most critics thought.

If Boxing has Mayweather-Pacquiao , there's also George Saint Pierre-Anderson Silva in MMA. The two mostly regarded pound for pound champions in MMA may not ever meet due to GSP's reluctance to shift and jump weight. He visited Manny Pacquiao during Pacman's training, should he have asked Pacman opinion about the topic, or perhaps an advice?

Silva-Pierre may not still be the only great fight left for the two fighters, but it's starting to look like it may be heading a similiar way, with GSP's 30 winning rounds streak, and Silva's now undisputed fighting spirit, which nobody knew he had when he came up the victor with that unbelievable clutch performance during his last fight.

Like how Yahoo SPorts described GSP, everyone on his list as the next opponent, he has beat up already. And Silva, other than the last fight, has been as dominant as GSP with his latest fights.

Ok, now I really need to watch these two fights somewhere, then write about it again.

Better Foot

2010-12-08T06:56:00.000-08:00

No doubt, Filipinos will have a better chance of improving on our football rankings internationally in a couple of years, than what our Basketball army can in 20 years, no matter the number of AMboys they commit to infesting our supposedly "Filipino" proud TEAMS.

Maybe it's hightime for people to start taking the term TEAM PILIPINAS, regardless of sports, seriously?

Filipinos have better legs and feet to make use for sports. I have nothing against basketball, i play basketball myself and pretty average at it too, but to be crazy with a sport that could not, at least, give us a chance to be competitive in Asia is just disappointing.

Pacquiao Season

2010-11-08T10:59:00.000-08:00

Sports fans have started toshift their eyes on boxing this time of the year. With the much anticipated match between pacquiao and margarito this nov 13, one can not deny that the interest and enthusiasm generated by the match, which centers on margarito's shrewed past and pacquiao's reported lack of preparation, have been more than what most people predicted.

What stood out most is that I don't remember seeing this kind of buzz during the cotto fight, and most certainly not out of the last Clottey-Pacquiao fight which despite the anonimity, filled up upthe cowboys stadium with 50,000 people, 40,000of whichi guess were Noypi's

Give it to Arum for his dedication to make sure margarito be allowed to fight, and more to his dedication to make a strong stand on margarito's innocence. Bob Arum's supposed argument isclear, margarito is the best possible match up for pacquiao, not because the plaster scandal makes the buzz bigger with intrigue, but beause margarito's physical advantages poses the biggest challenge for pacman. But of course, you know better.

Lately

2010-07-07T01:06:00.000-07:00

I think I should begin writing about Sports more often. I'm starting to forget how to write and how to spell. I have a lot of opinions on sports happenings whenever we talk about it. I just don't know if I can write about them. But here;s to trying.

The world cup is down to it's final four, well final 3, Holland is just waiting for the winner between Spain and Germany. I was rooting for either Brasil or Argentina just because they were favorites, but now I think Netherlands has the edge and momentum to go and win this thing, but the young squad of Germany I believe went through a rough start but is looking hungry and very skilled as a team. So Germany and NED on to the finals! NEvertheless, i'd be watching

Give it to Stoudemire going to the Knicks, those fans over their in NY needs something good out of their basketball team. It was a good run for the SUns with Nash and Stoudemire, i've always said that season will be their LAST... But not the last for the Celtics I believe, as long as the point guard is one of the best on the team, there's always a chance. Everyone's hooked in to the free agency, damn I envy those kids, getting to play their favorite sport and getting paid for it, paid millions that is. THAT is the best job in the world.

The Yankees are still rolling , good thing they air live in the morning so i can watch some. Some teams lost momentum, some gained, but the Yankes were consistent. So Go Yankees! i';m still waiting for my memorabilla cap for last year, hope it gets to me before they win the next championship.

Pacquiao and Mayweather fight is said to be nearing completion. GOt tired reading through PACLAND and examiner.com, realizing how biased articles are. Who would've thought, it;s the mannpacquiao.ph website. Nevertheless, it would be the fight i won't give up for no matter how many UFC huge fights they have. If only I can go to the US and watch/. Whatever and wherever the discussion leads us, THAT will be a fantastic FIGHT!

UFC fight LESNAR and CARWIN was very good, i just htink that monster Lesnar is just too big for anyone, and CARWIN lost power and strenght with all the punches he threw the first round. Lesnar was in the WWE, no wonder he's that big, all those steroids, i;m pretty sure have helped anyone in the WWE. I think i saw BRET HART once on tv, i thought , well they have to, if they don['t want to lose fans. In any case, the latest UFC was bloody and action packed, so it did very well.

Well, dementieva Elena did not play in Wimbledon, so I have nothing to say.

I'd better watch other sports , my teams are losing grounds, golf? nah, nevermind. Maybe when i'm old enough.

Floyd Sr. has played the American mind, easy

2010-01-14T01:03:00.000-08:00

Here's an interesting and brilliantly done video from those who believe Pacman is on steroids. Looks valid, not for me! Still makes me laugh. (Author would only accept only comments agreeing to his point. This post serves as a reply)

It's a shame people start over analyzing and fall trap to this never ending debates, baseless accusations and steroid PED talk which all stemmed from what?

Yes, from one single accusation from some Mayweather sr.

IT is such a shame that prior to FLoyd Sr's accusations, nobody even dared to ask, what if Manny is on steroids. Now people are even trying, trying to make a statement or a point.

Trying to come up with something that they might thought as a valid argument, based on the tiniest over analyzation, misleading reasoning, unsupported facts, and even tweaking sentences from people who are involved, even people who are not involved with the negotiations.

IT is crazy, I don't even know how to continue this post.

Anyway, here's a nice video for everyone! :)
