ESPN said Tiger thought he was having back pains.

ESPN jumps into coverage of MMA David Estrada, Jr MMA column for Sunday, May 9 David Estrada, Jr The Port Arthur News — MMA is now on the ESPN television network. After a successful ESPN online pilot, "MMA Live" will now air on ESPN2 every Thursday night. The 30-minute news magazine is in the same mold as other ESPN news shows like "NFL Primetime" and "NBA Fastbreak."     Judging from its first airing on Thursday, it looks like ESPN is providing superb coverage of the MMA world. It's not UFC-centric; they actually cover other major promotions like Strikeforce. MMA followers should tune in or DVR this show to keep up to speed on current happenings in the sport.     For some reason, it feels like world No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko is the Strikeforce champion. His victory over Brett "The Grim" Rogers on CBS last fall was not for a title. The current Strikeforce heavyweight champion is a Dutchman named Alistair "Demolition Man" Overeem. Overeem is a relative unknown to American fans because he last fought on US soil in 2007.     Overeem will be back in the States Saturday night to fight for Strikeforce in a non-title affair. His opponent is none other than Brett Rogers. This fight will introduce MMA followers to Overeem before a clash with Fedor Emelianenko. That is, if he can get past the perfect heavyweight gatekeeper in Rogers.     In other heavyweight news, UFC champion Brock Lesnar is officially back. After a year off due to medical issues, he will be returning to the Octagon in UFC 116 on July 3rd. It's clear that fireworks will be coming a little early this year with this heavyweight tilt.     In the wake of the post-fight melee a few weeks ago on CBS-Strikeforce Saturday Night Fights, it's reassuring to hear measures have been taken to discipline the fighters involved. Two fighters involved in the fiasco were removed from scheduled June bouts in Strikeforce. Nick Diaz and Jason "Mayhem" Miller were removed from the fight card.     Sometimes making the right decision is not easy. Strikeforce president Scott Coker ignored the fact that the extra publicity from the melee would add interest and more viewership to the event. He did the right thing for his organization and sport as whole by sending a clear statement such shenanigans will not be tolerated.     It's unknown if Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields is going to be disciplined in any way. He was involved in the initial shove of the melee. He might not feel any repercussions because he may be an MMA free agent.     It was quite intriguing to see Jake Shields sitting next to UFC president Dana White at the WEC pay-per-view event two weekends ago. One didn't have to be an expert lip-reader to see White mouthing, "He's mine." White had a head with a smile as big as fellow fight promoter, Don King, albeit with less hair.     It's clear that  White now has more influence in combat sports than King. That said, one should hope MMA's preeminent fight promoter will steer the sport the right way by making the right decisions.     David Estrada Jr. is a Mixed Martial Arts columnist for the Port Arthur News.

You started this thread...Where are you???? [/quote] Just got back in town. Ok 3 - 1 you get the nod should have been 2 -2 KP laid a egg again [/quote] Maybe KP laid an egg, or just maybe, LCM was the better team. Usually in a 3 game series the better TEAM wins. This is not taking anything away from KP because they were a solid team. LCM may deserve a little more credit in the win, than saying that KP laid an egg. [/quote] I agree! LC-M WAS the better team!

I was thinking that earlier. 8)

Going to be a great season after just seeing the 1st show.

going to the bottom of the 8th LU-4 NWST-2

Indians hurdle Yellow Jackets, 29-5 Cody Pastorella The Port Arthur News BAYTOWN — BAYTOWN -- Galena Park had to have entered Friday's Game 2 feeling pretty good about itself after beating the Port Neches-Groves Indians baseball team 11-4 in Game 1 on Wednesday. But PN-G's Amir Jalali put those good feelings to bed with a lead-off home run in the first inning of Game 2. He and the Tribe went on to claim a 14-1 victory in that matchup to force a third game of their best-of-three series for the bi-district round of the Class 4A state tournament.   Game 3 started out a bit closer but in the end, PN-G hung a 15-4 spot on the Yellow Jackets to advance to the area round of the playoffs where it will face either San Marcos or Waller.   With Friday's results, the Indians overall record goes to 20-9.   PN-G manager Jay Stone was rather pleased with the way his team bounced back from such a horrible Wednesday night.   "I thought we had our best practice of the season on Thursday," said Stone. "And I feel like that carried over to today. You really have to credit the kids though. It was up to them to put Wednesday behind them and they did that."   While throwing less than 60 pitches over five innings in Game 2, Chris Sweetenham took the mound again to start Game 3. The senior right-hander held the Yellow Jackets to one run on five hits in earning his ninth win of the season (9-2) in Friday's first game.   Stone said he allowed Sweetenham to start Game 3 when he asked to keep going.   After GP tagged him for four runs on five hits in the bottom of the first to take a 4-2 lead, Sweetenham's great day was turned over to Blake Reyenga, who did not allow a hit or a run in his five innings of relief work. PN-G needed just 11 columns to put away the Yellow Jackets with a total difference of 29 runs to five. The Indians outhit GP 32-10 on the day, as they dumped 16 hits on the opposition in each game. They batted around twice in Game 2 and once in Game 3.   When junior catcher Brandon Provost's spot in the lineup crossed home in the sixth inning of the final game, every position in PN-G's lineup had touched the plate at least once on Friday. Provost was 4-for-5 with four runs-batted-in and successfully laid down three sacrifice bunts.   As impressive as his day was, however, it was not quite the best performance from the Tribe's lineup, which had at least one hit from 18 of their 19 batters.   The most outstanding Indian effort came from Jalali, who was a triple and double shy of hitting for the cycle twice on Friday. Jalali went 7-for-9 with a walk over the two contests. He stole three bases, scored seven times and had five RBIs. He was 4-for-4 with a double and a triple in Game 3. He jacked home runs in his first two at-bats of Game 2. The second was a two-run job in the second frame that lifted the Indians advantage to 4-0. They tallied seven runs in that inning and claimed all 14 of their runs before the Yellow Jackets got their one in the fifth.   In Game 3, Jalali singled in Hunter Denzlinger to cut the Tribe's 4-2 deficit to 4-3. That single moved Collin Gizzy to third, who tied the game at 4-4 after he was sent home on a balk.   Then Austin Stone singled in Jalali to give PN-G a 5-4 edge.   Spencer DeRon drove in Zach Rhame and Stone, 4-for-8 with a walk, four RBIs and four runs scored on the day, to up his team's lead to 8-4 going into the bottom of the second.   Nipping at Jalali's heels for player-of-the-day was Gizzi, who went 4-for-4 with three doubles, two RBIs and three runs scored in Friday's first game. He touched home three more times while going 2-for-3 with a triple in Game 3.   "I really liked all the extra base hits (nine) we had," Stone expressed. "That's always great to see and hopefully it's something that will continue."
