Basketball/Baseball

Well well, I was down at the ACC on Friday night for the Miami game. We lost...again. It always seems to me like the Raptors play superbly for the first quarter, and suddenly runs out of steam come the second half.

It's a different story today, however, the Raps are leading by 6 right now, at the beginning of the fourth quarter in their game against Utah. If they pull off this win, it will be one of the sweetest on the season yet. Utah came in here with a 10 game winning streak, and the Raps have been playing incredibly well, with heart and passion, stopping the Utah offense right in their tracks.


Bargnani has been amazing as of late, but the team needs to work together as a cohesive body if they intend to take advantage of what remote chance that remains of making the play offs. Nonetheless, I always find it fun to be in the house whenever the Raps play. My next game will be the 15th against the Pacers.


The World Baseball Classic has begun, without much hype really. It's a young tournment still, but to be honest, I don't find it very interesting. But who knows, with the sport no longer on the Olympic program, it could become very popular internationally very soon. Canada lost to the US 6-5 yesterday, was a decent match, with an enormous crowd on hand at the Rogers Centre. My pick for this year, however, is Cuba!
