A brand spank'in new edition of BLAZE IS BURNING! has been posted for your reading pleasure.
A new edition of "Reel Reviews with Koko" is now posted for your reading pleasure.
"The bats are what gets us or what we get got by."
The Cobra Kai's suffered another heart break this week, in our effort to take down creative flooring. The soul powered bats of creative flooring, were not hot for long on Friday, but when they were they were red hot. The first inning proved this statement, a grand slam that cleared the fence in left center. "I saw it and started running back, but then, it was gone" Capt Tucci did what he could for the ball but unless he had a ladder in his pocket he was not getting the ball.
As has been the case for the most part of the season our bats never really got going, but when they did get going it was in a big way. Capt Tucci came up big with an in the park homer, that later left his mouth bleeding due to some home plate celebrating. Unfortunately we were unable to keep the scoring going and we ended the inning.
Mikey came up big with several diving catches. "Effort" was only comment Mikey had to say about his catches. The ever ready Mike "Mad Dogg" had another stellar day defensively on the mound. "They hit 'em at me and I catch 'em" was all pitcher had to say about his efforts. Johnny Blaze had did hell of a game at short, it was a position adjustment for the leg sweeper but he seemed to find his comfort zone in the 3rd. "I don't talk about it, I be about it" Johnny Blaze.
This was not like some of our post lost post games, this one was different. We all knew we lost, but we were not down on ourselves as much as usual. I don't know if it was from having the Big E join us at gators or something else. Capt not being unable to drink to due medical reasons and one of leading drinking Keith away at a banquet in his honor the rest of team made up for their shares of the drinking. It was a 64 pitcher night, shy of the record, but with two drinkers down it was a good attempt. Everyone was a little on edge though, due to the rumors that the Sandy Johnson Johnny Blaze beef might "jump off" as the kids put it. Fortunately the night ended without incident.
It is all about "Effort"
I will not be at this weeks game, but I know y'all will do me proud.

2008 NFL BUSTS/SLEEPERS
My definition of a bust is someone who does not live up to his draft position. My definition of a sleeper is someone who outperforms his draft position. So, in theory, a first round pick could be a sleeper and a 7th round pick could be a bust. Enjoy…..

Enjoy!
“MasterCraft Painting is who we thought they were; we saw them before and know they are in 2nd. The Painters are who we thought they were and that’s why we took the damn field! If you want to Crown them, then crown their ass, but they are who we thought they were and we let em off the Damn Hook!” ranted Capt. Tuuci after we let a winnable game get away from us in the last inning.
The Cobra Kai came ready to play Friday night and the bats were hot, but Mastercraft’s dojo painting technique proved to be more powerful as they were peppering blasts all over the field. They struck hard and had no mercy as they were ripping blast after blast to any open piece of field they could find. The Painters put on an impressive display at the plate placing frozen ropes out of the grasp of the infield and more impressively out of the grasp of our outfield that saw several balls hit hard all the way to the fence. “Were talking about balls mashed to dead center that were nearly clearing the fence, I haven’t seen that much before but I think their Dojo is either teaching a new “Paint the Fence” technique or they are using some type of performance enhancer” Mikey remarked after the game.
However, the Kai’s were not about to give up themselves and we put on our own impressive display at the plate to keep things even. Capt Tucci’s impressive 3 run Home Run really set the pace for the team as he came charging home and did his best Pete Rose dive into home to spark one of our biggest rallies of the year. The highlight of the night and quite possibly of the season came when Johnny Blaze came charging around 3rd base determined to make it home and due to a “Phantom leg Sweep” by their 3rd baseman he got taken to his knees halfway between 3rd and home. With blood gushing from his injured knee most players would have crawled back to 3rd and called for a pinch runner, but not Blaze with the Lady Kai’s screaming him on Johnny looked at 3rd then focused his eyes on Home plate and was determined to score. “At first I was telling him to get back to 3rd, but then when I saw he had that “Eye of the Tiger” look in his eyes I knew he was going for home” said the X-man himself Xavy who was the 3rd base coach at the time of the play.
Sensei Elliot Kreese, The Iceman Kenji, and Mad Dog did their part in wearing down the outfield for the painters by spraying the Right fielder with balls down the line all night until their coach was forced to pull him from the outfield after he cried for mercy because he was so worn down. In the end it was one of our best offensive performances of the season but there just wasn’t enough in the tank to contain the Painters bats.
The Team toasted our fine offensive effort and celebrated in style at gators afterwards but there was still a feeling of revenge on the teams mind. “The guys in the dugout played their butts off, I can’t ask for more from my teammates than that, I think we will have their number next time” said Koko at the post game press conference at gators.
With the absence of our anchor JW and the Big Daddy Rich himself as well as Rob “Roundhouse” Reger our pitcher intake took huge a dip and was well off our record setting pace. In fact we set Gators all time low with only 31 pitchers. However, the team looks to bounce back this Friday and get back in the win column as we take on Creative Floors @ 6:30 and look to also up our pitcher intake post game.
Just like to let everyone know that Blaze has put his money where his mouth is and started the long awaited "Blaze Is Burning" column on our site. Watch your back Andy Rooney.
Keith
I know you are concerned about the bear. He is in Dayton, Ohio currently finishing his training for his new government job. I spoke with the bear the other day, and he failed to mention anything about Garnett move. So from what I know I don't think he has inspired anyone to perform such a task. The Sam I am picture looks a like weird, is that the kinda shit they do in Boston Mikey??
Koko
What if the Lady Kai Corner was a seperate Blog, and we just linked it to our blog? It could just be like the KG (still don't know how to spell Keiths' last name) links.
Just an idea. I know my idea sucks, but fuck you Koko!
Naw just kidding,
but seriously go fuck yourself koko!
Girls nite is fast approaching! looks like friday, may 30th is the big nite! can't wait!

Celtics big guy Kevin Garnett announced he’s ditching The Big Ticket nickname for a new name - The Cobra Kai! Garnett told WBZ’s Steve Burton that he came up with the new moniker after he invented a new defense maneuver during a recent game where he got down on all fours. That’s ssssssspecial!
KG dubbed his down on all 4’s move “The Cobra Kai”… cuz you never know when its gonna strike. He also got his balls busted for not stopping David West on the play. Where is "The Bear".......did he have something to do with KG's new nickname.......Seriously...where is Eric "The Bear"........is he still alive?????
In a separate story I saw this picture of Sam Cassell and it said he was getting a rubdown before the game. Is it me or does it looks like this guy is giving "Sam I am" a little bit more than a rubdown (Check out his Left Hand) and he seems to be enjoying himself waaaay to much.

"Bobby"Get-Him-A-Body-Bag-Bobby" is no longer affiliated with the Cobras. He realized that the dojo was not the light-hearted and whimsical after-school program it once was after Sensei John Kreese told him to "sweep the leg" of LaRusso during the All-Valley Karate Tournament. Bobby's whereabouts are currently unknown.
"Dutch"In typical Cobra fashion, Dutch muscled his way to the top of Logo Athletics, Inc. during the early 90's. Once there, he created a Cobra Kai line of karate outfits which, although initially popular with greasers and carnies, ultimately led to the bankruptcy of the corporation. He is now the Chief Operating Officer of Conseco, Inc.
"Johnny Lawrence"An accomplished NCAA diver, he has kept close ties with the Cobra Kai's (he's currently the Alumni Director). In 1988, he devised and executed (with the help of Dutch) a top-secret beat-down of Thorton Melon after he replaced Lawrence as the best diver on the State University Diving Team. Melon is still rehabilitating
"Sensei John Kreese" Having shattered numerous metacarsals in both hands while trying to punch Myagi, he was forced to retire from his sensei position; slapping around the students is a Cobra Kai pre-requisite. Therefore, to channel his inherent rage, he became (and currently continues to be) a P.E. teacher at a Daytona Beach middle school.
Hello Beautiful Ladies,
I think it is about time we start our lady kai corner....
So, I was watching the movie The First Wives Club and I think that should be our sub heading...
The Lady Kai Corner: First Wives Club
Let me know your thoughts!
See you all tonight!!!
Pseudo-Mock Draft
Ladies and gentlemen, before I release my selections I would like to point out a few things. First of all, I want to make it abundantly clear that this is NOT necessarily who I think each team will take ( I call this the Detroit Lions Rule, because it is impossible for me to even fathom some of the retarded things that certain teams do). Second, it is not necessarily my rankings of the players. I took individual team needs into account. The list is quite simply a representation of what I would do if I were making the pick for each team based on who is left, who could be there later, team need, scheme, and potential best player. So, without further ado, here is my 2008 pseudo-mock draft. Enjoy!!!!

A couple of suggestions for trades;
--If I were Tennessee or Washington, I would try to trade my 1st round pick for Chad Johnson.
--If I were Minnesota, I would try to trade my 1st Round pick to Philly for Donovon McNabb. (Childress used to be his OC, remember? And Philly picked a QB last year.)
--If I were Dallas (especially if they get Pacman), I would package my 22 and 28 selections to the Raiders for number 4 and take McFadden.
Check out this video of Kobe Bryant. Real or not that is stil fucking sick
The Sharks smelt blood in the second inning and attacked as they are known to do ending the Kai’s hopes of upending the First place team. “They have dominated the league all year and I was hoping we would come out with a little more pop and energy but it wasn’t meant to be on this Friday, but we will see them again”, said Capt. Tucci after the game.
Former Rookie of the Year phenom pitcher now moved into the bullpen Jason “Koko” Kokothoff returned to the mound and dusted off his pitching arm to try and contain the hot hitting sharks but that was a tough task against this team. “It’s not the most ideal situation being thrust into the rotation on a moments notice against the best team in the league, but I was up for the task and was happy to help out the team when the Captain came calling, I’m like Chameleon boy and can adapt to any situation said Koko after the game while icing down his groin.
There have been rumors swirling around the sharks since last season and many of their names have appeared in the Mitchell report but nothing has been proven so Red Bug officials are left to just wait and see. “I think their power at the plate comes from their pre and post game beverages, When I arrived at the field they were huddled around a truck downing a suspicious beverage and when I was leaving the team was again gathered around that same truck downing the same thing” Mikey said at the post game gators report.
Mad Dog was late to the field as he was receiving some cortisone injections in his elbow but when he arrived it seemed to be the lift the team needed both offensively and defensively. He made up for lost time right out of the gate as he roped a 3 run HR to Right Center and with our speed trio of Crazy legs Koko and the DonJuan himself on base it was a thing of beauty as they rounded the bases in record time. “My 30 year old legs have been feeling good lately and I just knew we needed to score to stay alive so when MadDog roped that hit I just ran with all my power” said DonJuan who celebrated his birthday earlier in the week and raised his OBP% to an astounding .876 for the season.
“That's softball for you. Y' know, you take your worries to the game, and you leave 'em there. You yell like crazy for your guys. It's good for your lungs, gives you a lift, and nobody calls the cops. No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference and we intend to make that difference this week” said Johnny Blaze after the game.
However, the song remained the same as once again our rally was too little too late for the Kai’s as the Sharks came out on top and maintained their first place lead. We did turn around our beer drinking at Gators as the team was able to tie our 86 pitcher record and get back on track with our drinking. “I know one thing, there is not a damn team in this league that could hang with us when it comes to drinking beer, and I am willing to bet anything on that” JW was heard yelling at the post game meeting.
The Kai’s look to get back on track this Friday night against Mastercraft under the Friday Night Lights at 8:30!
Not sure if I've ever shown this to you guys before, especially you Keith. If I did, oh well it's still hillarious.
Not a big deal, but I added some more tracks from the Karate Kid to the MP3 player.
You guys are way out of control get a life.

Alright team, it's been a while since we've played and I just want to remind everyone that we are still very much in the race for the championship. We control our own destiny here. We've only played 4 games, one less than the Sharks who we must defeat tonight to mantain control of our fate.
I know we'll all be really pumped for tonight's face off, but beware of pressing too hard. This is something we been guilty of many a time after a long layoff like this. Let's just go out there and make sure that we make solid contact on all of our ABs. Don't try swinging for the fences. Just put the ball in play and make the defense work.
And on defense keep that ball in front of you at all costs. It's the doubles and triples that have been killing us lately.
We can do it boys, remember when we're hitting on all cylinders we're as good as any team in the league.
Let's stop fucking around and show everyone WE are the team to beat!

By the way.......I haven't figured out how to post the actual film.
Check out this video someone send me
Just FYI. There is now a movie review section that I'll be penning, or I guess keying, just above the ever-delayed Blaze Is Burning section. Come on Blaze give me a rant to post. There must be something pissing you off.
Well, we're embedded into Karate Kid history now. Check out the last line under Popular Culture on The Karate Kid Wikipedia entry.

I'm sure most of you are aware of the true splendor of the "One Shining Moment" montage CBS plays at the end of the tourney. I hope everyone stayed up to watch it last night after that incredible choke job by Memphis....as Johnny always says..."You gotta make those Free Throws....There Free."
Anyways, I wanted to share with you my favorite One Shining Moment over the years. It was a hard decision for me, but I went with 1992. Now I'm not a Duke fan or anything I just think this particular tournament was my favorite in recent memory with the Fab 5 and that unbelievable Laetner Shot. Plus, I just like the way this one is put together much better.
It was a tough decision as I strongly considered 1998 (Valpo's Bryce Drew Shot) as I think that was my favorite tournament but for some reason CBS dropped the ball on that montage, it is a bit fuzzy. I also really wanted to go with 2003.
Anyways, I stuck with 92...let me know if anybody feels another year was better.
Well, the Lord did not want to see the Baptist go down on Friday and it just wasn't in the cards for the Cobra Kai's to take the field as we endured our 2nd Rain-out of the year and 3rd cancelled game under the Lights. However, this did not stop our restless crew from gathering at our favorite watering hole Gators to catch up and put back some wings and beers.
Not working up a sweat must have slowed us down a bit as the team came one pitcher shy of matching our old pitcher record of 57. JW's ongoing legal battles and the lack of slamming contests really slowed our pitcher intake down. We did celebrate the Don Juan's 30th Birthday which is coming up this Wednesday so there was a small cake fight and the young Kai Werdna did not dissapoint as he took down a whole bowl of Onions to steal $5 from Koko. The team looks to get back on track this Friday, weather permitting.
This one is for Keith. Read the second paragraph of this article. There is solid proof that you are not the only one that uses this word. Congrats on a well chosen word.
