The HASK Golf Scramble was a great success and its almost football season

I have played A lot of golf this summer. I have participated in a Monday night league and have really enjoyed it. Last Sunday, the 4th annual Holy Angels Soup Kitchen Golf Scramble raised $20,000. Another one of my favorites is coming up, NFL Season. Being the life of the party I am, I love watching games at the bars with friends and having some bevys and food that is not good for you. If I had my own place, I would have people over every Sunday to watch football.

10 years ago at this time... Spurs outlast Pistons in 7

It's been 10 years since Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli won their 2nd title together and Duncan his 3rd ring. They outlasted a Detroit Piston's team which had a awesome starting five; Chauncey Billups, Teyshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. This starting five was together for six years and was the reason the Pistons made six straight Conference Finals, bringing back the days of the Bad Boys of the late 80's into 1991. The series went back and fourth with the home teams winning the first four games. Robert Horry had things to say about who would win Game 5, as his 3 with 5 seconds left in overtime gave the Spurs a 1 point win and a 3-2 series lead. The Pistons would force a Game 7, but Duncan was too much in the 4th quarter as the Spurs won the title.

15 years ago tonight

The Lakers and Blazers were playing for the Western Conference Championship. These were the 2 best teams in the NBA that year. The Blazers had rallied from a 3-1 deficit to force a Game 7 in Los Angeles and looked like they were on there way to the Finals to host Indiana. The Lakers rallied behind Robert Horry, Brian Shaw, Rick Fox and Shaq. They overcame a 15 point 4th quarter deficit capped off by a alley oop from Kobe to Shaq. The Lakers would go on to win the championship beating the Pacers in six games and ending Larry Bird's coaching career.

Hard to believe its been 5 years since this...

On this day in 2010, Armando Galaraga pitched the game of his life against the Cleveland Indians. He was one out away from a perfect game. a ground ball was hit to short 1st base, Miguel Cabrera fielded it and Galaraga stepped on the bag and beat the runner. Umpire Jim Joyce called the runner safe. It was a call that haunted Joyce to this day and changed baseball to this day. Galaraga handled the situation with class. The next day, he (Galaraga), brought out the line up card for the Tigers gave it to Jim Joyce and gave him a hug. Those two would also share in a ESPY award later as they presented a award at ESPN's summer awards show. The both have a book called, No one is perfect. Five years ago tonight I was at a Dayton Dragons game and it was raining like crazy. It was so nasty, my friends and I left early.

Has it really been 20 years since Reggie Miller's 8 points in 8 seconds

Has been really been 20 years since Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 8 seconds in Game 1 in the Eastern Conference Semis against the Knicks? I remember sitting at my sister's house in Oxford watching that game and could not believe that at all.

Loving this weather and found a new love on the GC

I am loving this nice weather, considering what we were dealing with during the winter, I will take it. I recently started walking while playing golf and it is very relaxing. I enjoy getting exercise that way.

Hard to believe that its been 15 years since Ken Griffey Jr was traded

This post is way over due. It's hard to believe that Ken Griffey Jr was traded to the Reds and believe it or not, I was at the game he hit his first home run as a Red. It was a fun atmosphere at Cinergy Field.
