The Case For Video Replay in Major League Baseball
I didn’t want this to be my 15 minutes of fame. I would have liked my 15 minutes to be a great call in the World Series. Hopefully, my 15 minutes are over now ~ MLB Umpire Jim Joyce

OK… Blue Jays… Let’s play ball!
Not Our Best Performance
Well, the year end tournament wasn’t one of our better performances. After a month of almost not playing we didn’t seem to have the same magic we did during the year. I think we ended up in fourth place at the end of the weekend. That having been said, there were some really encouraging signs. [...]
10 Days To Go
There are only 10 days until the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 NAGAAA World Series in Seattle. Back in June, my WESA team the PumpJack qualified to be the first Vancouver D Team to compete in this event. But before we head down I5 to take part, we have some unfinished business. We finished second [...]
Seattle Bound – Northwest Quest
A couple of weeks ago my WESA softball team PumpJack qualified for the 2008 NAGAAA Gay Softball World Series representing Vancouver in the D division in Seattle. The tournament takes place at the end of August. It seems like a long time away, but the hotel reservations have been made and the time off work [...]
Allez!
With the shocking retirement of Justine Henin, I was at a loss to decide who I wanted to see win the French Open. As the tournament continued, I knew I didn’t want to see Maria Sharapova win it. Dara Safina was playing well but beat my back up fave Elena Dementieva so I couldn’t get [...]
Yankees Silver Lining
The game started with such anticipation. Joba Chamberlain was about to make his debut as a starter facing the Jays and Derek Jeter was just a breath away from tying Mickey Mantle for third as the all time Yankees‘ career hits list. Things didn’t go right for Joba tonight, he lasted less than 3 innings. [...]
Stunned
WTA World Number 1 Justine Henin announced her retirement today. I was looking forward to watching her challenge for another Roland Garros title. Since her marathon match against Jennifer Capriati at the 2003 US Open I have never cheered for another female tennis player. The pint sized Belgian took on all challengers and got her [...]
Federer In Five
I’m a little tired today. I sat down around 9 last night to watch a tennis match that should have been a routine win for Number 1 Roger Federer. It ended up being a 5 set nail biter that lasted four and a half hours against Number 49 Janko Tipsarevic. It was incredible watching Tipsarevic [...]
Resistance Is Futile
Awesome tennis match today for the Wimbledon final. I was getting all twitchy as Raphael Nadal really pushed Roger Federer. It was great to see the King of Grass kick it up a notch in the 5th set and win his 5th title in a row. He equals Bjorn Borg’s record at the same time [...]
