Well, the ALDS really sucked being such a die hard Yankee fan. As soon as I got to Cleveland the bad run continued. The first flight I had booked got canceled so I had to book a non direct flight through philly. My frst flight was about an hour delayed and myself and a few others on that plane were all going to Cleveland. So I figured we would get our luggage. They did I didn't, I headed to the hotel and met up with ray and thayer was a perfect location 2 minutes walking distance from Jacob's Field. We play the nightlys all run bad and my suitcase gets there at like 1am. We getup drive to Adam Junglens house like 30minute away because thats where ray had the tickets shipped and he forgot them there when leaving the day before. We drink a few beers get to the game not sure what to expect being all decked out in Yankee gear. We get to our seats which are upper deck but 2nd row of seats and in between home plate and 3rd base so a great view. Anyways a few Yankee fans are splattered around our section and I notice 2 of the 4guys directly in front of us are Yankee fans while their buddy's aren't. Anyways this one little 4 foot 8 Guido type guy is cheering etc and that's fine but after the first inning home run initially got called off he started saying sit down etc to the cheering Yankee fans. Then the call gets reversed and we cheer and high five some and then he stars saying shit to the guy to his left whose a Yankee fan. They are first row right on the railing no less and the Yankee fan and his brother as we findout later whose an Indians fan almost get into it right there. At this time I am expecting to be hit with beer get into 3 fights and be kicked out before the relievers get in the game.

But, the next 2 games besides the Yanks loosing the Indian fans were quite friendly and got to know a few people seated around us. As always they find our lives so exciting how we travel the world do fun things and basically live life to the fullest. We then headed to Pittsburgh to hangout with Luke who happened to be the guy who busted first hand of WSOP ME with AA to AKs AIPF. It was nicer there then I expected first night in we went to the home opener for the Penguins was a lot of fun, we then headed back and I got my first experience of the new Halo 3 sick sick game can't wait to get my copy of it. We stayed there for a few days played the Sundays then headed to New Jersey to goto Rays house. We were planning on going to Turningstone for the October poker weekend or whatever but I couldn't convince them to get in the car even though I was willing to do the driving. So for now today we are heading to my house for a week I think before I head to Vegas for the Pokerbowl.

I am really looking forward to this tourney have a very strong team featuring; Alex Jacob, Jordan Morgan, Nordberg, Jhub3000, Thayer, and myself. The structure is very similar to WCP so I am excited with this structure that I am familiar with. The event is going to be Televised on Fox Sports Net in the near future so I'll be sure to let you guys know a few days in advance when you want to be sure you are watching our team San Diego Players. Not my choice on location or team name but whatever we are going to win and def have the strongest team in our conference. I'll try not to be so slow on next update always get lazy at end of sessions when I want to write a blog.
