PBA. right here, right now.

OMG, thanks daddy!

Labels: fans, ryan gregorio - Thursday, July 9, 2009

Daddy Ryan G. and I have the same idea! (Oh please, don't ask me why I call him that.) This is exactly what I've been pointing out to fans with whom I had arguments with! Ok, people seem to think that Coach RG is a bad coach since PF has some of the league's most talented players still the team failed to make it to the Semis or the Finals in the last three conferences. They always put the blame on him, don't they? But this is what we, Coach RG and I, believe in:

“Talent alone is not enough to win games. Players must know their roles on the team. Otherwise, we will not succeed."

I was so shocked when I read his statement since we have the same point-of-view on the matter. Yes, they might have the talent but if they don't know their roles, they would never ever win championships. The players might have all the talent but it seems that they don't even know what they're supposed to do yet. It doesn't rely fully on the coach you know.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. PF has a lot of star players but that doesn't mean that they'll perform their very very very best every game.. Look, it isn't Coach's fault that players miss freethrows or whatever baskets ok? *sigh* As the PBFantasy promotion said, don't pick the players just because they've made their names famous in the league. Pick players who perform well but don't require that much money. It's a good example of what I'm saying. Yes, PF does have it's star players but that does not mean that everyone must expect them to be champions every year! THAT'S ALL.

The Facts, not RUMORS.

Labels: danny ildefonso, fans, mark pingris, patricia hizon - Wednesday, July 8, 2009

People just don't believe facts, don't they? Ok. First off, I got the "inside stuff" from a friend's text message. At first, I didn't believe it that much.. Many don't until now. Some forum posts from Ginebra fans have a lot of questions like where did you get that Danny's daughter issue, etc, etc.. I was confused because of those posts! But, finally, some sort of confirmation came.. Here's a tweet from Ms. Patricia Hizon about the issue on Danny Ildefonso and Mark Pingris vs. Mr. Nervadez and in response to a fan's question on how she knew about the insider thing...

The fan said a bunch of P words and F words and flashed him the finger many times. He insulted Danny's daughter who has cancer

Danny I's daughter has been suffering from (I think) cancer. For that man to use that to try to distract Danny is just EVIL

The press people were saying it and They said danny revealed it when he went to the press room to explain after the game

Is posting tweets illegal? I'm really sorry, so pissed off since people just don't believe me.. :)) Anyway, hope these would clear things up.

Aww. :D

Labels: csb, richard del rosario, sbc - Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Do you know that I'm quite a Richard Del Rosario fan? I always want him talking during the games. When I first listened to him, I laughed really hard at his jokes and antics. He's a really funny guy and I just looooove listening to him! When I knew about him being College of St. Benilde's head coach, I started watching their NCAA games (along with SBC's of course). Oh btw, do you know that he and Jondan Salvador had the same school? Anyway, I recently found out that he has a twitter account and started following him. The other day, I posted this tweet, hoping to get a response.

@charddelrosario good luck coach! hope CSB takes its 3rd straight win. :)

I was, as usual, online last night and was shocked by a reply from him. Okay, scratch that. I was surprised. LOL. Shocked though, it's not everyday that one of your faves is gonna reply on your tweet right? And another thing, I thought a person can only see one's tweet when he follows him. He doesn't follow me, but he was able to read my message. Wow, another discovery. :)) Anyway, because I was surprised by it, I actually saved a preview of the page. :D Here it is. :)

Danny I's explosion

Labels: danny ildefonso, fans, mark pingris, patricia hizon, penalties - Sunday, July 5, 2009

Danny Ildefonso is one of the most respected active veteran players in the PBA today and seeing him that mad after Game 2 of the Finals against Barangay Ginebra at a fan would just make you feel shocked. He seems like this cool and calm guy and witnessing that scenario was just plain shocking. One would ask himself, what the hell did that fan do to make him that angry? Also, why was Mark Pingris, another fan-friendly type of player, also involved in that sitch?

Thanks to an info from a friend and from Ms. Patricia Bermudez-Hizon's blog, things were cleared. It seems that the fan, by the name of Ferdinand De Guzman Nervadez first taunted Jay Washington by saying vulgar words and the never-dying dirty finger. Seeing no success, this fan focused on Ildefonso by shouting, "Mamatay sana anak mo." We all know that his daughter has cancer and is one of the reasons why Ildefonso missed the 2009 All-Star Game. And any father who'd hear that statement would be totally and madly enraged!

I understand the side of those people who say that the two should have just let it pass but I guess I can side better with Ildefonso and Pingris. Come on! Put yourselves into Ildefonso's position, you're a father who's trying to make yourself stronger in facing these challenges, trying to be optimistic and just desperately praying for your child's health and betterment and now there's this jerk who shouts that at you? Oh my gosh, that's simply unforgivable for a dad.

About the penalties given? Damn, I hate to say this but I firmly disagree! After asking Danny and Mark to pay 30, 000 and 10, 000 respectively, they're gonna be suspended? Oh come on! The jerky fan wasn't even given any sanction, not even asked to stand and face the wall for a minute or at least suspended from watching the game due to his effffing behavior. Alright, I'm "quite" one-sided. So sorry, can't help but be one-sided! I just haaaaaaate what happened!

Shocking Links. :D

Labels: jondan salvador, pj simon, wesley gonzales - Wednesday, July 1, 2009

It's just shocking to find out that in one way or another, you're linked to a player. That's exactly how I feel. :)) Hmm, not that much but, somehow, yeah.

First link: My sister studies Math in Kumon while my aunt waits for her everyday. She talks to parents and guardians there while waiting so as not to get bored and one actually said that her son was PJ's friend before! Also, they lived nearby in Pasig (I think). She said that PJ gave them some Purefoods products before during Christmas. :)

Second link: My friend/schoolmate/ex-classmate came from an all-girls school. She and her sister studied there during her grade school years. According to her younger sister, Wesley's sister was her batchmate! She even said that she saw Wesley fetching her sister before. Aww. :)

Third link: Between Jondan and me, there is no link. =)) That's because we're just connected by nothing. We're connected but no one connects us. Get it? Oh right, I guess the link is my dad. Jondan lives in BF Parañaque (according to my sources) and we have guards there. :) Nice, right? If only my dad was supportive enough, I could've have his address by now!

Links, I'm sure there are more and I'll do my very best to find out! :D

Chandler's benching.

Labels: fans, gov pardo, purefoods, ryan gregorio, the dean -

As usual, I'm gonna share something again. I've seen this just a few minutes ago and I'm sure that this will make things clear for all Purefoods parokyanos. This is about the quarter finals' game 3 against Purefoods and Rain or Shine.

Rene Pardo at 7:30 am June 21

So long as Im handling the team, chandler will never be our import again. I ordered his benching as he was a liability and a distraction to his teamates.

That statement is actually from facebook. One of my fellow onliners asked Gov Pardo why Chandler was benched during the game's most crucial quarter. We all know why though, since Coach RG thought that he was acting like a brat; now, we know who instructed him. And through The Dean's article, we know the real reason behind Chandler's attitude that game. So, everything clear now? :)
