So there’s not too much of an update with the themes this week. I’ve continued to re-code everything in the Giornalismo theme. Over the weekend I knocked out the header template, staying close to how things are to be done in HTML5 and what not. This week I’ve been working on the footer and homepage … Continue reading “Continuing the Giornalismo Rebuild”
Over the past year-plus, FC Dallas has become known for its flashy offense. Between Mauro Diaz, Fabian Castillo, Blas Perez and Tesho Akindele, the Hoops certainly have no shortage of highlight-real playmakers. But there’s also the saying that goes, “defense wins championships” which is true for all sports. Scoring points/goals/runs is nice and all, but it … Continue reading “FC Dallas Needs Defense to be on Point to Carry the Team”
Soccer is a great sport. From the gamesmanship tactics to the awesome goals that are scored, there’s a reason the sport is called “the beautiful game.” But last week, the ugly underside of the game made an unfortunate appearance. Last Thursday, South American power clubs Boca Juniors and River Plate went into half time tied 0-0 … Continue reading “Incident at Boca Juniors vs. River Plate Match Shows Ugly Side of Fandom”
Since Affirmed won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978, no horse has completed the quest to conquer horse racing’s three top races. In the 36 years since, 13 horses have won the Derby and Preakness but failed to finish first in the Belmont. Enter American Pharaoh. American Pharaoh, who entered the Kentucky Derby … Continue reading “American Pharaoh’s Quest for Triple Crown Will End One Way — Disappointment”
Look, I know needing a two-out hit in the ninth to avoid being no-hit and I know nearly becoming the opponent in back-to-back no hitters is a very poor look, but the Miami Marlins’ upper management really overreacted this past weekend. Just 23 minutes or so after Justin Bour singled up the middle to thwart … Continue reading “Miami Marlins Screwed up Managerial Change”
So the semester has ended for me and with it comes more time to do stuff. With the extra time, I started the re-coding for Giornalismo. The goal of the rewrite is to document things better and to make sure all of the code is up to the WordPress standard. Hopefully this results in a … Continue reading “Rebooting Giornalismo”
As much as soccer is about the 11 guys on the pitch working in rhythm with each other, the offensive end of the game primarily focuses on one guy who creates chances for other guys to cash in goals. For the U.S. men’s national team, it’s Michael Bradley. For Manchester United, it’s Angel Di Maria, … Continue reading “FC Dallas Will go as Far as Mauro Diaz Lets Them”
It’s no secret that the expectations were low for the Texas Rangers going into this season. Yu Darvish underwent Tommy John surgery during spring training. Derrick Holland lasted only one inning in his first start of the season. And the offense wasn’t expected to be much of a threat for opposing pitchers. But over the … Continue reading “Recent Run Shows Signs of Hope for Rangers”
Manchester United is headed back to European competition in the UEFA Champions League. Well, it’s not 100 percent certain at this time, but it’s almost as good as gold. United sit in fourth place in the Premiere League, leading fifth-place Liverpool by six points with two games left two go, meaning the two teams could … Continue reading “Manchester United fourth-place finish a success”
