The new X-Files movie comes to theaters exactly one month from today! I have been waiting for this movie since the first one came out in 1998. I will definitely be seeing this in the theaters when it comes out.

Lakers

Wow! I could not have been more wrong about the outcome of last night's game. Good thing I didn't waste my time watching it. I was too busy sitting in the stands watching the Angels hand Jerry Manuel his first loss as manager of the Mets. Loss number two should be coming tonight.

Lakers vs. Celtics Game 6

The Lakers and Celtics continue their battle for glory tonight. My prediction for the game is Lakers 98 Celtics 89 thus moving the Lakers one win closer to their goal.


GO LAKERS!!!


First Quakes Game Ever

On Friday I had the opportunity to watch my first ever Rancho Cucumonga Quakes game. It surprises me that this is my first time because they are the Angels minor league team but since the 66ers are closer we usually just go there. This game was special though and I had to go. I had actually been planning this for some time now because their opponent was the Modesto Nuts. Is that the coolest name ever for a team or what? Their hats even have little cartoon nuts on them. I have heard some funny minor league team names but this one is by far the best. I plan on getting one of their jerseys because they say Nuts across the front. I even signed up for their kids club so I could get a membership card. Childish? Maybe but it makes me laugh so who cares. By the way, my new favorite player on the Nuts is number 10. The game itself was a good one. The Quakes managed to squeak out a 2-1 victory. After the game they had a fireworks display which we opted not to stay for. It just so happened though that our truck was parked in the lot right next to where they were shooting them off. I felt like I was in Nam all over again. Those suckers are loud. Not only that but we had sparks and burning pieces of paper raining down all around us. Where is Smokey the Bear when you need him? Fortunately we got out of there unscathed. If you ever get a chance to see a minor league game I highly recommend it. You get to see good baseball at a cheap price and these guys actually play their hardest too unlike some of those overpriced major leaguers.







First Angel Game of the Season

I finally went to my first Angel game of the season. I know, that’s pretty sad. The good news is that while I was waiting under the giant helmets for Jeff to arrive I won two tickets to see the Angels play the Mets. The seats are so high I will probably get a nosebleed but oh well they're free. The bad news is the Angels lost 5–2 even though Torii Hunter hit a homer and Garret Anderson actually put forth some effort in the outfield. Our seats were way up in the very last row at the top of the stadium. I was nervous every time I stood up because I am not used to being up that high without a parachute. Actually the view wasn’t that bad as we could see everything that happened. I don’t usually care where I sit because I just love being there. When you are at Angel stadium no seat is a bad seat.
