SporTech Matter

AP - 2009-06-29 I’m usually very critical of Fredi Gonzalez yet I give him a free pass most of the time due to his hands being tied by a low payroll. His use of the bullpen last night was something I would like to see more often...

/dork alert My favorite reason for jailbreaking my iPhone just got even better. Custom MobileScrobbler status bar icons when scrobbling. Should be out in a Cydia repo near you soon! Stay tuned here for an update when the dev is ready for public release...

It was only a matter of time but the Panthers finally did the inevitable and traded the rights to Jay-Bo to the Calgary Flames for a decent return, but not as much as they could have gotten in return if traded during the season...

I went to NIN|JA 2009 at the Cruzan on Friday night. In case you didn’t see over on the Photoblog, I have my photoset up from the show. Overall I got 850+ pictures and widdled them down to a cool 180 plus a few videos. I hope you enjoy them...

1 Last Week: 2 Chicago Cubs (5-3) It didn’t take long for the preseason NL favorite Cubs to move to the top of the rankings, but it also didn’t take long for folks to start rumbling about the closers’ role...

Ever since the release of iPhone 2.0 I have been trying to figure out a way to enable the field test icon on the springboard. I use this quite often in my industry so it was important to me to figure this out. Rather than use the basic *3001#12345# code, I wanted a quick shortcut to achieve this...

The Panthers are done. But check out this shootout goal by Mike Ribeiro. Utterly insane. Everyone grab your free tickets next year!

I launched a new, seperate blog from this one. It’s my new Photoblog. I have been toying with a few ideas for a few new hobbies that will allow me to be outside more. Photography seems to be the best option and the most relaxing...

(Photo by Doug Benc/Getty Images) You just missed Emilio Banifacio speed past you. The first major leaguer to hit an inside-the-park homer on opening day since 1968. Fish win big 12-6. Check the videotape here.

Took a trip out to the beach this morning. Beautiful day. Makes you remember why you live in South Florida! Enjoy the snappies. Check out more photos at my Flickr page.

The Marlins continued to pare down their roster after Tuesday night’s game, releasing infielder Dallas McPherson and reassigning outfielders Michael Ryan and Alejandro De Aza, and left-hander John Koronka to minor league camp. (Sun-Sentine

Zo Feeling The Love In case you missed it during the 45+ minute half time spectacular on Monday, here are a few clips from the Alonzo Mourning jersey retirement from the AAA. All in all a great event that seemed like it would never end.

Let’s do a quick Sunday Link Dump on a rainy afternoon so I can get back to playing some Worms on PS3...

Courtesy HedgeCo.Net This made me crack up. Needed it to end a slow Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

AP - 2009-03-25 I always keep hope when the numbers say there is still hope but after watching last nights “Mess on Ice” I have lost hope for this Florida Panthers hockey team and quite possibly have lost hope on the organization as a whole...

Photo courtesy of Esa Einai Flickr. Love this quote from Hanley Ramirez today in the Herald. Now that the Marlins have there stadium it seems the players are done with all the excuses from the front office...

Jeff Ireland confirmed that the Dolphins received a sixth-round NFL Draft pick from the Oakland Raiders in exchange for center Samson Satele and also swapped fourth-round picks as part of the deal. Miami’s pick in that fourth round improves 18 spots. . . ...

Ho hum. Just another day at the office. Marlins commit 2 more errors by 4th inning against the Sawx. For those keep score at home. 18 E #

Seriously. 2 errors today already for the Marlins? Both coming at the hands of Dan Uggla. For crying out loud… # Here comes Sidney Crosby back into town tonight. Think revenge is in order for the crap he pulled on Brett McLean last time in SoFla?

3PM NHL trade deadline today. Wonder if Jay Bo is still a Panther by the end of the day. I would hate to be JM right now. # Olli Jokinen traded again? This time to Calgary. The Keenans must be jumping for joy. # Jay Bouwmeester…still a Panther. Very unexciting trade day for the NHL...

Glad I’m listening to the Panthers/Devils game at the pool. 5-0 devs. Gotta love the Florida sun! http://twitpic.com/1r8
