My Favorite Sports Sites
- Life without sports, especially
professional sports, is only black-and-white.
- Because I come from Taiwan originally
and stay in the States right now,
- most of the following sites are
of those two countries.
- The following three web pages are
general sports news websites.
Professional Baseball
- It is an incredible season for
the major league
baseball. The long-lasting homerun record
was broken by Mark McGwire,
and it seems like it is much more difficult to be broken.
- My "local" team, Boston
Red Sox, finally caught the wild card and began their post-season
with a nice victory. God bless Red
Sox!!! Unfortunately, after losing two straight close games, their season is over. We can only hope next year is our year.
- Taiwan has two different professional
baseball leagues. They did not have a final series between these two leagues.
Both of the leagues are still very young, less than ten years old. Hopefully,
they can catch the level of Japan's
professional baseball league and the major
league in the nearly future.
Professional Basketball
- The favorite professional sport
I like to watch is NBA. The bad news
is NBA is facing the worse situation of a professional sport. They have
annouced
the postpone of the training camp and the cancelation of the pre-season
games because of the lockout. I hope every team and player can think seriously
about the fans like myself and understand nothing is worse than losing
the fans.
- My favorite team, without doubt,
is the Chicago Bulls. I began watching
NBA about ten years ago, and just love the Bulls even though my local team
is the legendary Boston Celtics.
However, if the ending of the Bulls dynasty become true, I might need to
change my favorite team.
- Taiwan also has a new professional
basketball league. It
is good for those player who played a lot for my country in the international
competitions that they can have a chance to earn a little money by playing
ball. However, the skill level is far below NBA, but it can still be one
of the best entainment of the everyday life in Taiwan.
Other Professional Sports
- I also like to watch tennis, golf,
American football, iceskating, gymnastics, field-and-race, swimming, soccer,
and etc. But I am not crazy about them like I am about NBA. The following
are some sites about those sports.
