One of my favorite personalities in sports is Yogi Berra and his words have never failed to cheer me up when I am in a bad mood. Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra as you know was born in St. Louis, Missouri is a former Major League Baseball player the New York Yankees most of his career till the the 1963 World Series after which he was hired as the manager of the New York Yankees. He was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. .
And so I was just browsing the net for some funny quotes on sports when I came across this funny Yogi Berra quotes. Not that I am not familiar with Yogiisms, and I have many read a funny yogiisms, but it has never stopped giving me a good laugh, and i just wanted to share it with my readers.
My favorite was “Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.”
There were also some baseball quotes that I really loved like “You don’t save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain.”
So to say that there still is humor left in sports, as these few quotes just reminded me.
Further digging led me into some more sports quotes like these funny golf quotes, “My body is here, but my mind has already teed off”.

The Australian Open 2009 is in progress these days. Melbourne hosts the first Grand Slam tournament of the season. The Championship has currently reached Round 4. While there have not been registered any major upsets in the Men’s matches, the Women have proved themselves unpredictable.
Novak Djokovic is the defending Champion in the Men’s competition, while Maria Sharapova won the Australian Open 2008 for the girls. She couldn’t defend her title this year because of an injury.
World Number 1 Jelena Jankovic was sent home last night by Marion Bartoli. Amelie Mauresmo was defeated by Victoria Azarenka from Belarus, Ana Ivanovic lost against Kleybanova and the list can continue. This means that we could expect a surprise winner in the Women tournament this year.
The big question is who will win the Men’s title. With all the big guns left in the competition we should expect some highly spectacular matches in the upcoming days. Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Novak Djokivic, Andy Murray, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Juan Marti Del Potro, all of them and many others could lift the Aussie Open trophy over their heads this year.
You shouldn’t miss the second week of this Grand Slam tournament. If you are on the move and can’t follow it on TV you can always watch Australian Open live on the web too.”

Ronald was born on October 15, 1981 in San Juan, Metro Manila. He is a Filipino professional basketball player in the Philippine Basketball Association {PBA} for the Barangay Ginebra Kings. Tubid has the position of a Guard with a height of 6 ft 1 in {1.85 m) and with a weight of 180 lb. Known by fans of PBA as Mr. Fearless and also known along with backcourt tandem Mark Caguioa and Jayjay Helterbrtand, as one third of the so called, the Fast, the Furious and the Fearless.
In his freshman year, he was the only provincial player in the supposedly All City Colleges where he ended up as the team captain. Playing at the amateur Philippine Basketball League (PBL), he was picked due to his resemblance to the face of Blessed Pedro Calungsod. Making “The Saint” as his nickname, although Calungsod is not yet a saint. It is amusing to note that former playmates while growing up are Niño Cañaleta, Paul Artadi and James Yap, who all ended up playing in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Ronald was the youngest among 2002 draftees in the PBL. An enegetic 21 years old, and slam dunking UE Warrior, he played for the Welcoat Paintmasters where he was the 2002 MVP in Finals. Scouts are raving about the hardwork and intensity of Tubid, which give them prospective interest. Ron plays a warrior-like determination and usually does high flying acts that endeared him to the fans. In the previous PBL conference, despite competing for minutes at Welcoat Paintmasters, he has shown mad games.
Ronald Tubid was the Shell’s 16th overall pick in the 2003 PBA Draft and had an extraordinary rookie year with an average of 8.9 points per game. The following year, he improved his mark to 12.3 points per game where he was named the Mr. Quality Minutes of the PBA Press Corps. He won it again with Air21 in 2005-2006 season where he averages 8.9 points in 44 game with just 11 starts. The role would not change as he’ll come off the bench to play for Barangay Ginebra.
The player with boundless energy, Ronald Tubid landed to a team that plays with so much physical strength and energy mainly because of the support of the crowd. There is no doubt that Ronald’s style of play perfectly suits to the never-say-die squad. The big challenge is how he will respond to the new system of his coach, Jong Uichico and the Barangay Ginebra Team. But “Mr. Fearless” does not mind as long as his team wins.
