david ortizPOSTED July, 16 2009  Just like with the NL, the American League now starts to get interesting with the coming-and-going of the All-Star Game. Moving into the second half of the season, the storylines in the AL range from “Which Talented Team From the AL East Will Be on the Outside Looking in Come Playoff Time” to the super-super-close race on the Left Coast for the AL West crown (OK, not too much going on with the AL Central right now, but with Ozzie Guillen in the mix…ya never know).
POSTED July, 13 2009  Does life get any better than in July? Holiday weekends (I might still be recovering from the 4th), summer weather, and, of course, Major League Baseball and the All-Star Game. While the NL vs. AL clash usually makes for good TV, more often than not the most unforgettable moments of the mid-summer classic come from the Home Run Derby.
POSTED June, 22 2009  Who wouldn’t want the body of a professional athlete? These people work out everyday, train in the best facilities, and represent the pinnacle of health and fitness…usually.
POSTED June, 05 2009  Ahhh…to travel the world and do crazy stuff. I pulled off a little globetrotting, adventure-seeking during my college days and loved every second (the highlight being a trip to the rural Gulf-side coast of Costa Rica, which included hikes, waterfall jumping, and drinking lots of Imperial). Now as an “adult” I live in New York City, get my “thrills” by sprinting across busy intersections to beat “No Walking” signs and my “world-traveling” consists of taking trips to Queens.
POSTED June, 02 2009  Today’s RBI features the two sports most closely associated with Latinos: beisbol and futbol. Not intentional, just the way things worked out…although we did kind of need a break from basketball (that being said, look for a Carmelo Anthony blog tomorrow).
POSTED May, 22 2009  How does a guy with exactly zero NFL passes thrown land back-to-back blogs on the Scorecard? Well, when you take photos that make you look like the Latin David Hasselhoff, and you’re a rookie QB/anointed savior of the New York Jets, not being the center of attention becomes harder to do than following the plot of a Robert Rodriguez flick (come on, the El Mariachi series – and Once Upon a Time in Mexico in particular – made about as much sense as the Pistons drafting Darko Milic over Carmelo Anthony). As discussed in the “
POSTED May, 15 2009  On Saturday, ESPN premieres the new Spike Lee film (sorry, joint) Kobe Doin’ Work. Basically Spike used 30 cameras to capture a ridiculously in-depth look at the day-in-the-life of the Lakers guard, with most of the focus centered on a regular season game against the San Antonio Spurs. Why Lee chose Kobe, and not someone more charismatic like LeBron or more personable like Shaq, remains kind of a mystery (let’s be honest, the Black Mamba ain’t exactly Mr. Personality).
POSTED March, 04 2009  All right, people, time for part two of our preview on the Latin American teams competing in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. On Monday, I profiled the national teams from Venezuela, Panama, and Mexico and now we turn our eyes to the remaining Latin powerhouses (by the way, I bet any amount of money that in ‘09 a team from a Spanish-speaking country takes down the WBC–no disrespect to defending champs Japan, but we’re due).
POSTED February, 19 2009  Let’s be honest, it’s a really slow time for sports, and a really big week for movies. With the 81st Academy Awards right around the corner, everyone’s talking about Best Picture, snubs, and red carpets. So, for the second day in a row, we’re going to take a slightly “cinematic” view of deportes. Hey, Hollywood loves a sequel, right?
POSTED February, 12 2009  Man, we need a pick-me-up. It’s been so depressing over here at the Scorecard lately. My fellow Sí TV bloggers get to write about fun stuff, and I’m stuck with drug scandals, criminal allegations, and people appearing before federal magistrates. Well, not anymore. Today we break the cycle and have a good ol’ time.
