In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

To truly enjoy the Vancouver Winter Olympics is to enjoy the imperfections. Sort of like walking to work in San Francisco. The weather isn’t always the best, and sometimes you see people yelling and crying for no discernible reason other than attention seeking. But the scenery’s pretty good,...

Anyone paying any sort of attention knows that hockey isn’t necessarily a hot-button issue on BASG. In fact, the Sharks are usually only mentioned when I throw out quantifiers while complaining about the state of Bay Area sports. As in, “Besides the Sharks, all the other teams around here...

10 Things I’m thankful for...
It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Getting Married – San Jose Sharks ...
This last weekend was one of my best friend’s wedding and I was one of her maids of honor. Beyond my typical maid of honor duties (providing sparkling wine, getting mani-pedis, interviewing strippers for the bachelorette) I was responsible for giving a toast at the wedding. Anyone who knows me,...

NBA Tuesday: Warriors’ window gett...
Utah’s precipitous fall from title contenders to getting waxed in the first round was one thing, but it was another game last night that showed just how wide open the Western Conference might be next season: the New Orleans Hornets losing by 58 points to the Denver Nuggets. It was a home loss so...

What am I doing over the next couple days? Actually, a pretty nice little weekend planned. Maybe check out the free samples at Costco and Trader Joe’s, I heard there’s a arthouse movie festival downtown…wait. That doesn’t sound right. This weekend is full of sports, sports and...

I knew Monta Ellis was pissed…and ...
When I was writing a recap of the Warriors/Thunder game we attended a couple weeks ago, I wrote a long paragraph detailing how angry Monta Ellis looked when he was removed from the game in the fourth quarter. I wrote about how weird it was that he was removed so early in the fourth quarter during what...

Sharks Lose, Bay Area Keeps Waiting...
Watching the Sharks was exhausting last night. I stayed strong through the second, third, and three periods of overtime, but in the fourth period my eyelids got heavy. It was like the game was never going to end, and my jokes during the third period about how this game would go to at least five or six...
