A lock for the MLB Playoffs, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are tearing up the regular season in the AL West with a record of 92-57. Giving them a winning percentage of .617 (talk about Angels in the Outfield), their next series is against the Oakland A’s which really should not be a problem for them at all. With much of the Angels support coming 1B Mark Teixeira, the guy has been able to keep a current .302 avg. with 30 homeruns and 112 RBI’s. Unfortunately for everyone else in the division, Teixeira is very healthy, is a switch hitter, and looks like he is not slowing down. If you are an Angels fans out there, you may want to buy an Authentic Mark Teixeira Jersey to show a little team support. This replica Mark Teixeira Home Jersey uses the official team colors and logos, and has a full button down front. It is constructed of highly durable double knit 12oz. polyester (in order to keep in one piece after multiple washes), and it includes a team decoration on the chest and a jocktag on the tail. This is a great pick up for any person who wants to rock out with an Angeles jersey for some serious game day pride.

If you are a sports nut like me, no amount of sports news (via T.V or newspaper) is enough to hold you over. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of Sports Center but sometimes I want more then just a highlight reel.

With unbelievable wide page photography and well-written articles, it is easy to understand the different angles and mentalities athletes and coaches have in their respective sports.

If you are a Mets Fan, I guess you are pretty scared at the current standings in the NL East. What was only a few days ago a 3-4 game lead over the Phillies, has now closed to both teams winning 83 games. The Mets still have a better winning percentage keeping them in first, but at this point the Phills are tied for first in the wild card race and are pushing ahead with some steam. Maybe if you show the Mets a little spirit and wear a Mets MLB Fleece Hoody, they won’t go ahead and blow 2-7 game leads like they did last season to the fighting Phills. Joking aside, this is actually a very comfortable New York Mets hoody that uses a cool alternating color scheme (orange, gray, blue) for a great design. The hoody also includes an Mp3 pocket, internal cord management, and a hidden zip kangaroo pocket for extra storage. Going from sizes M-XXL this is a great way to keep warm during the late night Mets games in September, and maybe October too If they get that far.

I never fully appreciated how a great pair of running shoes can affect a jogger’s performance until I started to run wearing a cheap pair. If you have ever gone more than 2-3 miles on a regular pair of $25 “jogging sneakers” then you already know what it feels like to be on the cusp of shin splints, aching feet and toes, and sore ankles the morning after. The Asics Men’s Gel 3000 Running Shoes are a high performance running sneaker that is designed specifically to increase comfort, support, and speed, while decreasing jogging time, pain, and morning after agony. The Gel-3000 is actually the newest addition to the Asics line, and incorporates a wider foot in order to give the shoe a broader base of foot support. This Asics sneaker is also designed to be very low to the ground, which helps reduce the amount of inward sway in a foot after the heel strike. One of the main reasons why I (and other runners) like this shoe is the impact control. The discreet I.G.S (impact guidance system) is Asics highest degree of shock attenuation and coupled with the “twist” gel cushion, will give you unsurpassed shock absorption and comfort.

Well the summer is over. That means I need to say goodbye to my sandals, shorts, and t-shirts, and say hello to some warm durable pants and shoes.

This semi-annual pants sale gives anyone 20% off their entire purchase when they order a pair of pants.

Eddie Bauer knows the weather is quickly changing, and that fall weather apparel can get just a bit expensive (which is why they are creating this deal). From dress wear, casual attire, and active apparel, this is really a great opportunity for people to nab some excellent fall clothing at a great discount.

O.K fans as you know, the Mets are trying to put the stop to any attempt by the Phillies to win the NL East. Only a few games ahead in the race, the Mets have to really push hard in the home stretch as their second to last series is against the Chicago Cubs. If you are looking to show a little support, get your hands on a New York Mets Authentic Jersey. Dicks Sporting Goods is currently offering an authenticated Jose Reyes jersey that was actually game worn. As official as it gets, the number 7 jersey has authentic lettering, and is made with all the on-field details (i.e bells and whistles) that create a piece of real MLB apparel. This may wind up being more of a baseball memorabilia piece than just an average shirt to wear to a game! Jose Reyes has been red hot lately and with his streak kept alive this jersey is sure to rise in value over time. Keep in mind that there are only a limited amount of these jerseys currently available so if you are a true Mets fan, the time to buy is now.

For those of you who thought Donovan McNabb was a beat up quarter back that could only throw passes at the feet, I really hope you watched Sunday’s Eagles home opener. Going around 500 yards with a 38-3 win over the St. Louis Rams, this was just about the greatest home opener #5 has played to date. If you are trying to bleed green and show a little Eagles love, get yourself a Donovan McNabb Eagles Jersey. This NFL officially licensed jersey is constructed of a 100% nylon diamond back mesh body, and has the numbers, logos, and colors for true game day pride. This is a highly durable piece of NFL apparel, and it is cut specifically to duplicate Donovan’s team and skill position. Now I know that going 4-5 in the red zone is not all up to the guy pulling the trigger. The new up and comer (and potentially one of the greatest NFL threats), # 10 DeSean Jackson, also has jerseys available! In case you didn’t see his work on the field this week, I suggest watching any highlight reel on Sports Center to see what he is all about.

One of the most important ways to achieve peak health and conditioning is doing exercises that increase balance, agility, and core strength. The Gaiam Balance Ball Kit is a perfect way to do these specific exercises, which actually target problem areas and help to increase firmness throughout the entire body. At 65 cm large, this anti-burst balance ball also includes an air pump and a DVD workout video, which will instruct you on the basics of core body strength workouts. Specifically designed for people of all backgrounds and skill levels (ranging from basic to advanced), the workouts on the Gaiam balance ball will work your abs, glutes, hips, arms, back and legs. Paying close attention to your body’s “core” (i.e mid section), these exercises are completely impact free so that joints will be safe from injury. For people who are shorter or taller, the Gaiam Balance Ball Kit is also offered at 55cm and 75 cm, which works for heights from 5 ft- 6.5ft. With only 10-15 minutes of work a day, the Gaiam kit will steadily increase your balance, as well over all strength and firmness. Many people also find using this product with a Valeo Speed Jump Rope helps to burn fat at an even faster rate.

Who doesn’t remember the Reebok Pump? Back in the day, this shoe was the coolest footwear you could slip on when rocking through the elementary school hallways. Unbelievably, these kicks are back with the Reebok Lifestyle Pump Omni Lite. This pair is actually a part of Reeboks Special Edition Court Collection, and features none other then that little bball style tongue pump for a truly custom fit. For additional comfort and breathability, the Reebok Lifestyles incorporate all-soft leather upper as well as a molded sock liner for extra cushion and durability. Reebok Pump Omni Lites also use a molded midsole in order to increase padding without creating additional weight. Cleary “The Pumps” by Reebok are for style points only, but if you are trying to test these on the court, you will actually find that the high abrasion outsole provides more than enough traction and durability for the full court press. This particular pair is offered in white/neon blue/paprika, and black/vibrant violet alternating colors.

The Reebok Pump shoes can be found at a discount at these current stores.

As important as it is to exercise the body, a person is only truly fit after being able to center the mind. The Gaiam Namaste Yoga Kit is a healthy and natural way to keep the mind, body, and spirit in a perfect state of harmony. This eco-friendly yoga kit includes a textured/non slip yoga mat, a 70 min. CD full of tranquil tones and songs, and, a 100% cotton yoga mat bag with strap and mesh pocket for storage. I find the pocket to be particularly useful for carrying along cd’s, mini weights, keys, etc. to yoga class, because the mind can concentrate on mediation, and not on lost or stolen goods. This particular Gaiam Yoga mat also helps aid in the practice, because it measures 68in. long by 24in. wide. This means it will give even people of height the ability to enjoy the 1/8 in. thick cushion when doing extremely difficult yoga positions. Like every other Gaiam yoga product, the Namaste kit was made for the individual who believes in pursuing environmentally sound practices, and who wishes to create a sound mind, body, and harmonious way of life.

Fall weather is coming along with a season full of good old fashion football. Wether you are in a league of touch, tackle, flag, or folly football, the Men’s Nike Air Zoom Football Cleat will ensure you get the traction and support when and where you need it the most. This is truly an ideal football cleat for the athlete who is having a problem gaining control when his turbo jets are on. The Zoom Air creates a highly reactive cushion for impact control, while the TPU spikes grip the ground for on the dime cuts and jukes. This specific Nike football cleat also uses a traditional lacing system which promotes stability throughout the entire foot and ankle. It is shocking how stable Nike makes the Air Zoom, considering it is constructed of a super light weight (and super durable) synthetic material. With 9 spikes, a highly breathable outsole, and a removable ankle support strap, the Nike Air Zoom Football cleat is an ideal piece of football apparel for any athlete playing this season.

The Air Zooms are a great buy through

In an incredible display of athleticism, Jamicain Sprinter Usain Bolt won 2 Olympic gold medals in the 100 and 200 meter race during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. With unquestionable speed (even beating out his own 100m world record time by 0.03 seconds), Bolt seemed to be destined for the number one spot even before the races began. Oddly, a gold medal around his neck was not the only gold to be had in the stadium. As a very customized shoe by Puma, Bolt was wearing a pair of golden kicks unlike anything we have ever seen before. Of course we got a nice little close up as Usain gave his golden gunners a smooch during his over the top celebration. The question remains however, what type of Puma’s are these, and will they be available for sale? I’d say being the fastest man in the world (and doing it with a shoe lace untied) is a great way to promote some Pumas if one was so inclined. So far Puma reps are keeping quiet, and are denying any type of allegations that they told Usain to remove his shoes and show them off to the camera. Maybe he did it all out of excitement, or maybe we can plan to see Bolt’s Golden Shoes soon on the market.

It is that beautiful time of the year when fantasy football leagues are starting to draft, and fans are gearing up with this seasons newest 2008 NFL team gear in preparation for hard hitting gridiron football. September 4^th is soon on its way, and that means quality Sunday games with a pot of 4 alarm chili, some hardcore back yard “touch football”, and extreme team pride with your favorite football jersey. After all, you don’t really want to be the one person in the group without showing some team colors do you? I didn’t think so. Regardless, love me or hate me for it (I could care less), I bleed green for the Eagles. Therefore this season’s major NFL purchase will be for number 20, a one Mr. Brian Dawkins. All of these 2008 Reebok Jerseys are constructed of 100% nylon, have the NFL Equipment Patch sewn into the front collar point, and obviously have the player name and team in all the right places. At some sites, these officially licensed Reebok jerseys can also be customized in case you are bold enough to put your own name and number back there.

Finding the most Authentic Reebok NFL Jerseys is not as difficult as one may imagine. There are offered here…

The summer may be almost up, but that sun will be shining just as bright in the winter. For a great pair of clean, crisp, and comfortable specs, the Oakley Square Wire Sunglasses are always in perfect 4 season style. This set uses High Definition Optics for unsurpassed clarity (even in the peripherals) as well as an overall ultra lightweight alloy frame for all day comfort. For extra precession in terms of vision quality, this pair of Oakley’s also has polarized lenses in order to virtually destroy the glare off of water, snow, ice, or pavement. Expected to be worn by active adults, Oakley knows you don’t want a pair of sunglasses falling off your face, or constantly needing adjustments. To rectify these matters, Unobtainium sleeves are used at the temples and will actually increase in grip as you begin to sweat. The Square Wire Sunglasses have also passed ANSI standards for durability and performance. This particular pair is offered in brushed chrome or matte black, and are available to hold a prescription.

News Flash! If you are sitting at home watching the Olympics, you are never going to be one of those lucky few athletes who get to bring home a medal. Actually chances are good even after years of practice, you still won’t be able to have an award like that. This is not to say however that you are still not able to bring home a piece of Beijing Olympic Memorabilia. If you are a collector, a patriot, or just a big fan of the summer Olympics, look to ebay to find the latest and greatest pieces from the 08′ events! With items ranging from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games 5 Mascots Fuwa Dolls, official accreditation lanyard, and even a 10 kilo (320 oz.) pure gold Beijing Gold Coin! O.k, so not all of us have a quarter of a million bucks to toss around, but one of my personal favorites is this official Olympic volunteer shirt. Brand new, this great piece of Olympic history displays the visual effects of the torch relay as well as various aspects of China’s culture. This is a perfect opportunity for any arm chair gold medalist to enjoy a rich piece of Olympic history and culture.

For tailgating parties, BBQ’s, or just a stroll down the street, nothing can come in as useful as the Cruzin Cooler 50-Series Electric Scooter. Yes this is a scooter with a huge cooler for a seat. Yes I want one. Yes you should want one too. The cooler will hold up to 24 cans of beverages (or a variety of other foods) with 8 lbs. of ice, and be able to withstand up to a 250lb. rider on top. This vicious little speedster will travel up to a whopping 13 mph fully loaded, and uses a 500 watt electric motor to haul some larger loads. For safety, the crusin cooler has disc brakes, a solid aluminum construction and rims, spring loaded foot pegs, and a stop switch. Some assembly is actually required but any tool you need is already included in the package and if need be, there is also an included trailer hitch. As with any mobile device a helmet is always recommended and in some states even required by law. Outside of that minor detail, have a fun time scooting around delivering drinks at the game.

After 25 years of military service, Nike has decided to revamp the old, and release a modern edition of the Air Force 25 League Pack CC. O.K over all this shoe is pretty much as stylish as it gets. It is a sleek, soft, and much more supportive shoe than its 1^st generation counterpart as it incorporates a seamless leather upper, and perfectly contoured panels. This specific model roles out with a White/Varsity Royal Blue/Red alternating color scheme for a real 80’s nostalgia, but has a few new age technologies within its guts. The inside of the Air Force 25 is really where things go commando in terms of being a responsive shoe. A Carbon fiber shank is placed in the mid section for stability, while the cupsole has a Zoom Air unit sitting on top of the Air Sole heel to really absorb some harsh amounts of shock. For added traction and style points, the bottom of the Nike Air Force 25 is plastered with thin coating of clear rubber outsole which uses pivot circles on the heel and forefoot. The Air Force 25 League Pack Shoe is a great modern twist on a design first made popular back in hay day, it is only offered in 16 different styles…..

If you belong to one of those clubs (both women and men included) of people who can never get enough of shoes and bags, then I have another item for your closet fetish. This Kavu Climber Bag is a great mixture of a fun everyday bag, a bag for practical use or for biking around the city, and a bag you can even go climbing with! I have been talking about wanting to catch up on my rock skills for a while now, and could not have found a better bag than this soft and durable natural canvas to rest on my shoulders. The shoulder strap is similar to a messenger bag, but offers a bit more comfort with the padded adjustable strap and padded back. With the color variety of Orange Stripe, Marigold Stripe, Ugly, and Brown Bear you have plenty to choose from. The inside of the Kavu Bag features separate compartments, providing more organization (for you messy people). However, you can throw a lot of your stuff in there with the toggle lock draw cord which adds extra space. When on the road you might need the bag tight on your body and will appreciate the adjustable waist/compression strap. Recently I realized I can even fit my small 12” laptop in there (the bag’s dimensions are 14″x10″x 8″), and my baby is safe due to the padding and strong force 10 canvas material.

To no one’s surprise, Yang Wei has realized the gold late last night (around 1:30 EST) in Men’s All-Around Gymnastics for China. Bringing the country to the top of the leader board in both overall medals (35) and gold medals (22), Wei scored an impressive 94.575 points in a multitude of events beating out Silver Medalist Uchimura Kohei of Japan by over 2.5 points. Rounding up for Bronze was 28 year old Benoit Caranobe of France, who was the first since 1920 to bring home a medal in an All-Around event. Wei, known prior as the “silver collector”, ranked Silver in this event during the 2000 Sydney Olympics against Alexei Nemov, as well as a second place score against Paul Hamm during the 2003 World Championships. Needless to say, this was an impressively solid win by Wei, which is easily going to elevate him to one of China’s most brilliant All-Around Gymnasts. With complete command over a variety of difficult skills ranging from floor exercise, parallel bars, rings, pommel horse, high bar, and vault, Wei was able to bring a second Men’s Over-All gold to china since Li Xiashuang in the 1996 Atlanta games.
