Hacen birria de mis Chivas

Con un global de 0-2, las Chivas de Guadalajara fueron eliminados de la liguilla del Torneo de Verano de la Liga Mexicana 2007 en una semifinal. Para hecharle sal en la herida, la derrota fue ante el enemigo #1, Aguilas del America. Con la derrota, Chivas no pudieron defender su campeonato de hace 6 meses. En un partido que prometia ser peleado garra por garra, empezo muy balanceado. Pero en el minuto 26, Gonzalo Pineda cometio la pena maxima y le mostraron carton rojo para la expulsion. Pineda perdio la cabeza porque empezaban el partido perdiendo 0-1 despues del partido de ida en la capital de la republica. Fue un partidazo con bastante oportunidades para el Chiverio pero no pudieron definir. El portero Americanista, Memo Ochoa, demostro de nuevo porque es el mejor guardameta en todo Mexico.

Cabezas en el aire despues de una gran temporada Tapatia. Ahora, hay que darle porras al Pachuca porque aparte de Ochoa, America no mostro nada especial.

USC robbed by UNC!

Just finished watching the USC vs. North Carolina game. One helluva game but I can't help but feel like USC got robbed...many, many bogus calls against the Trojans (fouls, turnovers, missed calls, etc.).

Regardless, it was a heck of a game & North Carolina pulled it out with their depth by outlasting the feisty Trojans. Props to the Trojans for setting a USC record for wins in a season (25) & also to the Tar Heels for not giving up while on the comeback trail. Here's hoping Nick Young, Gabe Pruitt & Taj Gibson decide to stay in school even though they all had terrific performances.

Chivas Campeones!!!

Chivas de Guadalajara se impuso al Toluca en la Bombonera (Estadio Nemesio Diaz) 2-1!!! Buenisimo partido con tremendos goles de Marioni, "Masa" Rodriguez y del Bofo Bautista (el gol de la diferencia). Asi le pone mono a un torneo estupendo donde vio al Chiverio pelear el repechaje despues de terminar en decimo lugar en la tabla general.

Aplausos a todos los de Chivas, especialmente a Oswaldo Sanchez- superestrella en la porteria- quien nunca habia sido campeon en Mexico hasta hoy. Ojala se quede con nuestro Rabano Sagrado.

Verbum Dei 32; LaSalle 10

Verb crowned themselves Southern Section champs tonite w/the drubbing of a red-hot LaSalle team that was coming in on an 8-game winning streak!!!!

F-U ABC-TV!

So ABC decided not to pickup today's Clipper game vs. the Suns. Had it been the Lakers (or probably anyone else for that matter) I'm sure they'd a jumped @ the chance. But nooooo, the Clippers aren't good enough for ABC &, thus, disallowed many POTENTIAL fans in L.A. from seeing what a truly fine organization this has become (from top to bottom). Sure, the game's still on cable (TNT @ 5pm pst) but that's not the point. Year after year, this organization gets ridiculed for miserly mismanagement & now that the Clippers have it turned around, most of the media still isn't showing them any respect. You'd figure that the media would want to celebrate an "underdog" organization which has arisen from the ashes, an example of how hard work & perseverance pays off amidst a sea of jeers...but what do i know.

Now if only my Chivas de Guadalajara could win by 2 goals today, then they'd move onto the final.
