“With clubs, balls, and gloves, the Clovis Municipal Golf Course has everything you need to smack a little whitey,”——Clovis Municipal Golf Course in New Mexico

Big thanks goes out to my buddy Fro, for tipping me off to this off-the-wall quote. Fro is the best photographer in the world…..If you want to see some unbelieveable pictures, go check out his blog.

“You’re damn right I thought about it,” Piniella snapped back. “You think I’m stupid or something?”—-Lou Piniella when asked whether he thought about replacing Soriano in the ninth.

Man that loss stunk, but it’s ok, the Cubs will win tomorrow

“Let’s hope he comes back nice and hot for us,” Piniella said. “He can carry us for a while.”—-Lou Piniella

Lou talking about Alfonso Soriano, who returns to the lineup tomorrow….

“I’m not quite sure how I should feel about it.”—Kosuke Fukudome, through an interpreter, on what his thoughts are on being the cover boy for this week’s Sports Illustrated.

Yet another reason why it was a good move to sign Fukudome. Do you think he even knows or cares about some Billy Goat Curse, or about being on the cover of some magazine?

Kosuke, don’t even think about it buddy….just keep doing what you’re doing…Americans, specifically Cubs fans, are just crazy about stuff like this.

“It really hasn’t hit me yet that we’re past the first round….It is just an incredible feeling.”—Dwight Howard

That makes two of us Dwight.

Can you believe they actually made it past the first round?

Let’s hope the Magic can keep this going…..

“I definitely think we’re still in control [of the series],” —-Rashard Lewis

This quote comes after the Magic’s game three loss to the Raptors….

Rashard….you better get the fellas to drink some more Powerade…….

“Orlando!! I’m going to Disneyland!!!”—-Bruce Springsteen

Thanks goes out to my buddy Bagel who heard Springsteen say this at tonight’s concert and sent in the quote….Note to Bruce….it’s Disney World here in Florida not Disneyland….

“They’re all pansies.”

My mom in reference to all the flopping she saw from the players during the Magic’s Game 2 victory over the Raptors.

“P-I-E DID IT!!!! P-I-E DID IT!!!!!”

My grandma, Nonni, after Felix Pie knocked out a three-run homer in the eighth inning, as the Cubs beat the Mets 7-1 last night.

I’m going to try something new today on the blog. It’s the quote of the day segment. Each day I will try to find a quote that encapsulates that day’s events somehow.

Today’s quote comes from Magic Johnson. When asked, on Inside the NBA, if he would ever talk to his opponents during the critical moments of a playoff game, like Rasheed Wallace did at the end of tonight’s playoff game against the Sixers, Magic started talking about his mood during the playoffs, and in the midst, gave us this gem.

“I hated you in terms of disliked you.”——Magic Johnson

Say What?

If you come across a great quote during the day, let me know.
