This is the famous phrase today. In the game of MLB (I am not yet sure of the literal meaning because as I've said in my previous posts I am not familiar with the game of baseball although I know the sport) between Philadelphia Phillies and Florida Marlins a little fight occurred which I think is child-like and which has no connection with the game.

In my ambition to expand my sport blog I am starting to learn slowly other sports by paving way to know about it through sports updates and latest happenings. In connection with this, I came across this sport update relating to baseball. Brett Myers, while the game is on, was instructed to cover up his tattoo in the left hand. Even Brett Myers did not know the reason why this has to happen. According to him, he had this tattoo for three years or more already and nothing like this has happened. Having this tattoo does not in any way affect the way he plays or that of his opponents.

This is just to conclude that even how old we are, we go back to being a child, lol.

Who says that? Is this admitted by Michael Beasley himself? Well, for Michael Beasley's supporters nothing is true for this matter yet. No confirmation was made as to the involvement of Michael Beasley in a prohibited act committed together with Mario Chalmers and Darrel Arthur. In an investigation made, it was confirmed that there was a smell of marijuana but no paraphernalia were found. The latter two were actually found to be involved in the matter but as to Michael Beasley his participation is unclear.

What is clear though is that Michael Beasley admitted being involved in the commission of this prohibitive act. Although there is admission from Michael Beasley, what remains intriguing is his actual commission of the violation. Despite that, he was fined $50,000 by the NBA. The good news is, Michael Beasley will not be suspended by the "Heat" management.

The lesson that should be remembered in this case, is to face what you have done mistakenly. Micheal Beasley may have committed something wrong, but he is man enough to accept his mistake and face the same.

Today is the finals of the 2008 Season 71 UAAP. As envisioned, the game will be a bout between DLSU and ADMU. We all know that these teams have proved their capacity per records of previous UAAP seasons. How they arrived in this position is no doubt based on group effort. The game of basketball is not just an achievement of one person, it is all about the team.

Game 1 of the finals of the UAAP Season 71 between La Salle and Ateneo is on going. Ateneo is leading in score. The defending champion is catching up. But still it is not yet over for DLSU. The game is exciting. Casio is playing very well. I admire Casio. He is a humble player

Anyway, I am watching the game on tv. And I'll update this post later of which team won for the first game of the UAAP Season 71 finals. As of this time the score is 26-24 in favor of Ateneo. Catch you later guys.

Ateneo won for the first game! 69-61

I am guilty of not updating this blog about what was happening in the 2008 US OPEN. I am sad that I wasnt able to see most of the games most especially the final matches, still its not too late to post about it just for my satisfaction. Besides Maria Sharapova wasnt there. I am not sure if she joined or not in the 2008 US OPEN.

I am glad though that Roger Federer won the game in the men's open. He deserved it.

So here are the final scores of each category in the recently 2008 US OPEN with the bold letters as winners:

> Men's Singles
Andy Murray - 2-5-7
Roger Federer - 6-7-6

> Women's Singles
Serena Williams - 6-7
Jelena Jankovic - 4-5

> Men's Doubles
Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes - 6^{5 -} 6¹⁰
Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan - 7⁷ - 7¹²

> Women's Doubles
Cara Black and Liezel Huber - 6 - 7⁸
Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur - 3 - 6⁶

> Mixed Doubles
Cara Black and Leander Paes - 7⁸ - 6
Liezel Huber and Jamie Murray - 6⁶ - 4

Is Allen Iverson in the business of buy and sell? Lol, of course not. I heard in the news today that Allen Iverson is selling his house at Villanova, Pennsylvania. Well, I saw the house, it is beautiful indeed. I believe its a dream house for any other person. The catch is he is selling it at a lower price as compared to the original price and that is $3.999 million. Wheww! I am for sure not buying that, not because it is not worth it but because I cant afford it, lol.

It is rumored that Allen Iverson was already selling this house for a year now.

Here is the description of the house according to yahoo.sports:

"The six-bedroom home is on four acres that include a pool house, stream and waterfall. The chateau-style home on Chateau Lane has four levels including a great room with floor-to-ceiling Palladian windows. The master suite has his and hers marble bathrooms, a coffee bar, media area and a veranda overlooking the grounds. There are four additional en-suite bedrooms and a separate guest quarters with a bedroom, living room and kitchenette. The entertainment level has a 12-seat movie theater, billiard room, and a lounge with a custom wood carved bar accommodating 200+ wine bottles."

I came across google trends today and in here I saw the name Mark McGwire. To be honest this is the very first time that I heard of this name. With this it became curious to me as to who is Mark McGwire. I realized also that since my blog is all about sports, might as well expand the topics that I have been posting here since I started this blog.

So here is what I learned about Mark McGwire. McGwire is a well-known baseball player. He started his career as a player since July 20, 1984. However, his final game was last October 7, 2001. His name came back again today due to the fact that he is celebrating his 10th anniversary (then record-breaking) 62nd home run, which came of his (alleged) steroid-enhanced bat 10 years ago. By that time there were only two of them who were known heroes in their game, one is Mark McGwire himself while the other one is Sammy Sosa.

And that is so far what I learned about McGwire. As to other updates on the sport of baseball, I am not yet quite sure, lol. Someday I will do another article about this sport, lol.

Before the 2009 NBA Season starts, the Lakers are already facing problems of their own in preparation of this season. Like any other NBA team their aim is to get the championship trophy. NBA fans are also preparing for the coming of this season. Even betters do.

Anyway, the headlines for sports today is about Kobe Bryant. Unknown to others, Kobe Bryant is injured. Wait! This is not a big injury though. But of course, big problems start from small ones. Kobe Bryant has been playing ever since February of this year with an injured right pinkie, that is with damaged ligaments. Even then, he still played well, didn't he? With this injury, obviously, a surgery is needed especially so that the 2009 NBA season is about to start. However, Kobe Bryant decided not to undergo surgery since it would take several days to heal.

Well that's his decision. But in my opinion, I guess he should agree with what the doctors advised him. This may not be a big problem for now but surely it will be in the next days or weeks or months or worst years to come. Hopefully not!

Now that the UAAP Season 71 is almost over, who do you think will win this season? We have seen these teams play last year. But that alone will not be a credible basis to decide which team will win. It only depends on the game they play and if it is really their moment to become the champion.

So far the final four of the UAAP Season 71 are Ateneo (thanks to the comment), De La Salle, Fareastern and the University of the East. Upon mentioning the team's name alone, it would be difficult to tell as early as this time as to which team will be the champion.

Below is the latest standing. It is my opinion that this will be the actual final four.

ADMU	12	1	0.923
DLSU	10	3	0.769
FEU	10	4	0.714
UE	9	5	0.642

The month of October is near. And this is mostly when the NBA Season starts. This is the time when I really have to sit on tv to watch every live game of the NBA. Every start of the NBA Season is as exciting as it has been and as it will be. Millions ofNBA fans all over the world could not wait the real action to begin.

It will then be the start of the queries as to which team will be the 2009 NBA CHAMPION. Will it be the Boston Celtics again? Or will there be a new team to grab that trophy? The answer to this question is yet to be come. But surely, even if this early news and updates upon NBA continues especially the players.

Since this is NBA, me and my brother will have a bet. And my bet for this 2009 NBA Season is either the Lakers or the Spurs.

So I have been long gone and failed to update my blog especially about the 2008 US OPEN. I know I am too late for the updates. However, this post will talk about who will be the 2008 US OPEN champion in either men or women. We have our own bets. However with a few days left to go, it is almost evident who will win the tournament.

I saw the game of Federer against Muller. It was a tough game. Yet Roger Federer managed to win the game. It was the first time though that I've seen Federer showing some emotions to the game. May be he was irritated with the linesmen's decision but then he bring back his calmness until the end of the game which is what I like most about Roger Federer. So he did won the game and is waiting as to who will be his next opponent.

As per the women's game I have not seen the game of the William sisters but I read that Serena Williams won the game.

2008 US OPEN LATEST SCOREBOARD

Pacquiao confirmed that he is to run for congressman in the next Philippine election. This is not the first time that Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao run for a certain position in the Philippine Goverment. He run as congressman in the first district of South Cotabato but lost.

Despite this confirmation though, Pacquiao announced that his mind is not yet focused in the 2010 Philippine election but his upcoming fight against Oscar De La Hoya. He says that he wants to concentrate in this fight since this will be the biggest fight he will have.

He ends his interview saying that he would do his best to defeat De La Hoya. Personally, although I have doubts to Pacquiao's success in the Pacquiao-De La Hoya fight (which I apologize as a citizen from the Philippines), I am still hoping that he will because it is only in this sport that the Philippines is known and I could not imagine what will happen if Pacquiao will lose.
