A special Hey goes out to Hazel Mae. The news of the day is obviously day 5 of UEFAs 2008 European Cup, with Portugal taking on the Czech Republic with both teams having won their opening game, a win by either side would guarantee a spot in the Quarter-Finals, likely as the winner of Group A.The good guys beat Turkey 2-0 in their opening game but their lack of finishing was a bit of a cause for concern, as well as their defense on set pieces and crosses.http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/time-to-show-who-is-boss.html Portugal 2 - 0 Turkey- June 8, 2008 Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in.

A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae on this first day of Euro 2008.Those of you residing in Massachusetts are aware of the presence of the Portuguese in your great state - outside of Portugal, Massachusetts if home to the the largest segment of people who trace their ancestry back to the motherland. While most of them are members of Red Sox Nation - the hope here is that they will be tuning in today to watch Portugal play Turkey on the opening day of...http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/football-101-for-red-sox-nation.html The World Is Watching- June 6, 2008 Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae. The countdown is on - Euro 2008 in 24+ hours; and the decision from would-be Maple Leafs coach Ron Wilson who has been given a deadline day of Monday to accept the coaching position in Toronto. With all due respect to Mr. Wilson, who could be working in the centre of the hockey universe, the world (outside of our friends down south) will be watching Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo - arguably the most recognizable sports.http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/world-is-watching.html (Untitled)- June 5, 2008 Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae. So the Red Wings beat the Penguins to win the Stanley Cup...who cares Certainly not Tiger Woods... But the focus of the day, and likely for the next four (YES FOUR) weeks, will be UEFA's 2008 European Championships. Rather than go on and on and on (AND ON) about Portugal in this year's championships - I'll just point you to a link about THE MAN. A kid from the island of Madeira and a son of all of Portugal....http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/hey-peeps-and-anyone-else-checking-in.html (Untitled)- June 4, 2008 WEDNESDAY NIGHT SUGGESTIONSNew York over Toronto - a case of the lesser of two perceived evils, Mussina vs Litsch, I'll go with the Yankees in tonight's game.

Lay $100 on Cleveland - $145.San Diego over Chicago - after seeing Lilly pitch last week at Wrigley Field (albeit from the bleacher seats) count me...http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/wednesday-night-suggestions-new-york.html What's a little tampering between friends- June 4, 2008 Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae. NHL Commish Gary Bettman put the Toronto Maple Leafs on notice, albeit not directly mentioning the organization by name, when he said the league would investigate AND punish any team found (or believed) to be tampering. The Leafs have offered former Sharks coach, and self-professed Canadian media hater, Ron Wilson. Leaf haters in Canada have come out in force, charging the Leafs with trying to get around tampering...http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/whats-little-tampering-between-friends.html Burke No 2 on Leafs list- June 3, 2008 Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A very special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.Anaheim GM Brian Burke was interviewed during last night's game between Pittsburgh and Detroit - when asked about the alleged extension on the table from the Ducks, Burke first dismissed the question by saying the focus should be on the Stanley Cup, then reiterated that he liked the Ducks ownership. Burke was again non-committal, he likely had not yet heard that the most attractive potential GM in the NHL was now..http://hazelspeeps.blogspot.com/2008/06/burke-no-2-on-leafs-list.html |
