Brian Scalabrine!

So I was watching game 2 of the Magic-Celtics second round matchup and saw the only Celtics player I like; the former New Jersey Nets forward Brian Scalabrine.

The Office is Back

It’s been a while since I’ve put down a blog post, but I finally had a decent tournament bracket placing 2nd in my office pool (which doesn’t mean much when on the winner gets the pot, but it was a great run).  Speaking about offices, after a couple weeks of sub-par episodes, The Office is back with two very strong episodes surrounding a disappointing premiere of Parks and Recreation.  I’m going to keep this short, but take a quick look at the clip below.

Maryland Advances to the 2nd Round!

I was able to catch a few minutes of the Maryland vs. Cal game at work today as Maryland used Gary Williams’ trademark press to take out the Bears.  Easy bracket pick I would have to say.  I don’t think there was any chance Cal would take out the Terps.  Cue the fist pump Gary!

This clip from the Maryland vs. Duke game says it all about how much we hate Duke…unfortunately Maryland lost.  How sad.

Don Wakamatsu Becomes the First Asian-American Manager in MLB History

Don Wakamatsu, a 45-year-old Japanese-American, has become the manager of the Seattle Mariners.  Formerly a minor leaguer and a bench coach, Mr. Wakamatsu is the first Asian-American manager in any of the four major sports (MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL).  I’ve always believed that the Mariners would be the most likely team to hire an Asian coach because of all the Japanese stars like Ichiro, Kenji Johjima, and Kazuhiro Sasaki that have been through their system.  Not only that, but the team itself is owned by Nintendo and has many ties to the Japanese market.  It is a little ironic that Mr. Wakamatsu probably knows less Japanese than Bobby Valentine though.  Anyway good luck in fixing the worst team in baseball.  がんばれ若松さん!
