Well it’s been four weeks of fatherhood and I’m still alive… more importantly so is The Jet.
You probably have many questions about what it’s like to be a parent. At this point, I don’t have much advice, but I can tell you a few things:
- For the entire time you are pregnant everyone will be telling you how much you life will change and how it will never be the same. It’s annoying, but they are not wrong, so just nod and smile.
- Do not make plans for how to raise the child outside of the big questions like religion. You will be forced to change them anyways.
- Let your friends and family help you in any way they can. Do not be too proud to assume you can do it all by yourself.
- Value sleep more than anything else, except the baby.
- Encourage communication and patience with your partner. Do not try to “out do” the other parent or “pass off” responsibilities.
- You will have a much shorter temper. Remember this so that you know when you’ll have to just take a deep breath.
- It’s always okay to let a crying baby cry, especially if you’ve already tried all you can to appease it.
So far, that is what The Jet has taught me. Honestly, I’m really looking forward to being able to interact with him more.
The first half of the baseball season is over and I’d have to say the biggest surprise is the Pirate; just 1 game out of first in the NL Central. Every division race is close and no one has really separated themselves from the pack as far as the individual races go. Here are my predictions for the rest of the season:
- NL Playoffs: Braves over Giants, Phillies over Cardinals, Phillies over Braves
- AL Playoffs: Red Sox over Angels, Rangers over Tigers, Rangers over Red Sox
- NL Awards: Prince Fielder (MVP), Cole Hamels (Cy Young)
- AL Awards: Adrian Gonzalez (MVP), Justin Verlander (Cy Young), Eric Hosmer (ROY)
A word about the US Women’s Soccer team and women’s sports in general:
Most average sports fans think very little of women’s sports. Their typical complaints are about a lack of athleticism, shallow talent pools leading to weak competition, and general sexism. Maybe it’s easy for me to enjoy something my country dominates at, but for someone who is a fan of losing teams, this helps. Look at how dominate American female athletes are in most sports; basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and track & field.
Watching that amazing comeback yesterday in Germany showed me that the American spirit is personified in our international athletes, and no one showed it better than those women on the soccer team. I cannot say how impressive it is to beat the FIFA #3 team in on PKs, after scoring in the final 30 seconds on a 25-yard, crossing pass for a header. Quite possibly the greatest game I’ve ever watched, and the referees made the degree of difficulty go through the roof.

NBA Finals Preview
So the 2011 NBA Finals start tonight… five years ago pundits were touting this match-up as one of the worst ever (both in quality of teams and ratings possibilities), now the same match-up is carrying much more hype. Why?
Reason #1: LeBron James and The Decision.
Reason #2: The teams were much more successful this year and this is arguably the 5th, 6th, or 7th best match-up. (I’d say, Bulls-Lakers, Heat-Lakers, Celtics-Lakers, Heat-Thunder, Heat-Spurs, and Celtics-Spurs are the only bigger match-ups)
Reason #3: It’s a rematch.
Essentially, if it wasn’t for the dump LeBron took on Cleveland last summer, no one would really care about whether the Heat succeed or fail. Now, it’s a polarizing issue. People are either Heat fans or Maverick fans (note: I think I’m settling in as a Heat fan).
So, to add to the hype even more, here are my keys to the series (in reverse order of importance):
Key #1: The interior presence of the Heat frontcourt.
Most will probably say that the Thunder lost in the last round because their inexperience lead to them not being able to close Games 4 and 5. The honest truth is that they got outplayed inside. No offense to Nick Collison; but when he’s your crunch-time defensive option on Nowitzki, you’re in trouble. Ibaka and Perkins were non-factors, which can’t happen. Bosh, Haslem, Anthony, Jones, and Ilgalskus need to play big. Seriously, Tyson Chandler and Brendan Heywood aren’t chopped liver, but they aren’t championship centers either. Which brings me to…
Key #2: How will the Heat defend Nowitzki?
There are several possibilities, and none of which is going to work for a whole series. They could cover him straight up with their regular rotation (Bosh or his sub). They could stick Joel Anthony on him as much as possible. They could tether him to Ilgalskus and have Big Z sit on the bench all game. Or they could throw LeBron at him and see what happens. Ideally, I think they’ll throw the kitchen sink at him, change it up almost every possession and bring in gimmick line-ups like they did against Chicago. One problem, if they go big, Terry or Kidd will eat Mike Miller alive.
Key #3: How will the Mavericks defend LeBron?
Simple. It will hinge entirely on how much they want to play Stojakovic, especially if the Heat go big. Marion and Stevenson will have their hands full, but I believe they are capable of holding LeBron and Wade to 35 combined, which is respectable.
Key #4: The overall play of Chris Bosh (and to a lesser extent, Wade).
This one is also simple. The Mavericks may find a way to defend LeBron (or hold him under 20 points), but if the Big 3 go for 75+ combined, they can’t win. Bosh has been big in several games and Wade has upped his game in the clutch. As good as Nowitzki’s fade-away is, it won’t help him defend Bosh away from the paint. It’s a match-up that the Heat have to try to exploit.
My prediction… home team wins every game… Heat in seven.

Changing in the Winds
Mark this day down in your calendars, folks. Shallow Speculations as you know it is going to be changing its format. From this day forward I will no longer blog about sports… I will instead blog about sports AND being a new father.
My son, Benjamin Alan, is due to be born on June 12th and he will be my first child. I’m beyond the point of scared shitless and have moved into the impatient and cautiously confident stage. His room is painted, his crib is constructed, his car seat and stroller are ready, he has clothes… but we are currently lacking in diapers. It’s strange that Katie and I have had 3 baby showers thrown for us and have received only 2 packages of diapers… which is strange because that’s a good default gift.
Anyway, I thought I’d add some interest to my blog by discussing my experience as a father. From here on out, Benjamin will be referred to as The Jet because his namesake is the character Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez from the movie The Sandlot (Katie’s favorite character from her favorite movie).
Okay, on to the developments in sports.
First, I think I jinxed the Capitals by picking them to when the Stanley Cup each of the last three years. It’s as if I’ve cursed them. If my pick does carry a curse, then I’ll take the Sharks to win this year.
Second, despite the fact that the Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs have all been eliminated, the NBA Playoffs have been pretty typical. A couple great games/performances and the remaining 4 teams could each win it all: The “superstar with a great supporting cast” team (Bulls), the “playing with house money” team (Mavericks), the “winning would destroy Cleveland” team (Heat), and the “more athletic at every position” team (Thunder). It’s conceivable that any team could win and it would make sense. The Bulls have the MVP, the Heat have two best players, the Mavericks are the well-coached, old guard, and the Thunder are the young, electric, athletic team. No story line or result would surprise me at this point.
Third, screw the lockout, I want some certainty in my football, damn it!
Finally, it is baseball season, I guess. My Royals have started 20-20, which is better than 10-30, so I’ll call it a success. They took 2 of 3 from the Yankees in New York and appear to be winning more close games than usual. I’ll be checking in on them regularly, but if they start to use that #1 rated farm system, they might be in the race longer than usual.

Judgement Week
Not sure why ESPN calls this "Judgement Week." While it is a time when the contenders rise to the top and the prentenders drop off, technically every team is still alive until they're eliminated from the conference tournament.
