A Great Day in Bay Area Sports

April 18, 2007 - The Greatest Day in Bay Area Sports

The Bay Area has suffered the last decade with very poor teams in all categories. Last night was a night that truly stands out the most.

Warriors Make Playoffs After 13 years!

The last time the Warriors saw the playoffs was 1994. They were playing Warren G on the radio reminding us how long it has been. What the heck was I doing in 1994? I was a pimple faced, 100 pound sophmore in high school, rebelling the straight A's expectations of first generation American Born Chinese kids. I was foolishly in love and I played badminton from 3PM - 8PM everyday and I didn't study. Wow has it been that long and how far I've come from that rebellion! The Warriors took out the Trailblazers last night for a HUGE turn around season coming on top from the Indy trade. Goodbye Dunleavy and go Nelson! It is so refreshing to see the Warriors playing as a team and Baron Davis healthy for now. GO WARRIORS!

Sharks Lead Series 3 - 1

On top of such great basketball news, the Sharks have sucked for quite some time as well. But in the last few years they have been the team to watch! They beat out the Predators with a score of 3 -2 and lead the series 3 -1. Go Thornton!

SF Giants

After a tough loss to the Rockies leading 3 - 0 and somehow blowing that lead in the 8th with 5 scores from Denver, the Giants came back a swinging last night against the Cardinals. In the 8th inning Barry pounds a homerun out to the cove for his 738th of the season 4 for the season and he needs to get to 755. This ties the game at 5 - 5 and in the 12th inning the Giants pull it through 6 - 5.

I don't care about all the Ballco news. My question is who doesn't do dope these days in the league. The facts here are that steroids won't help you hit a baseball, and he's been doing that all of his career and still doing it. I cheer for Barry all the way!

Even the A's!

And even the A's win last night as well.

American Idol

Unrelated to the Bay Area but Sanjaya was voted off today as well. This year Idol has an unbelievable amount of NO TALENT on that show. I am no longer watching!
