This week was absolutely unbelievable! It all started with the Thunder getting a HUGE sweep of the defending NBA champions! I have really been overwhelmed with the amount of people in NYC that love the Thunder! People up here have a huge amount of respect for our team, and they really like our young trio of Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. There are people Thundering Up all over the country! Obviously, I won't be able to be there to watch the first two games of their series with the Lakers, but I trust Loud City and company will give Ron Artest a warm welcome on my behalf!

Here is a quick update on what went down this week and the people I was fortunate enough to meet:

Monday 5/7: Mike and Bruce from the Beach Boys came by to film a PSA for Father's Day.

Tuesday 5/8: The Avett Brothers played a free show in the Fan Cave.

Wednesday 5/9: David Price, James Shields, and Sean Rodriguez from the Tampa Bay Rays came by to film a skit. Nomar Garciaparra, Mark Mulder, Pedro Gomez, and Dave O'Brien from ESPN's Baseball Tonight came by for a visit.

Thursday 5/10: The 2K Sports MLB baseball "Perfect Game Challenge" tournament was hosted in the Fan Cave. The championship game was played, and a 20-year-old from Florida won $1,000,000! Craziness! The check was presented by supermodel, Kate Upton.

This week, we will be hosting the annual baseball owner's meetings in the Fan Cave. We will also have several player visits, an Adam Lambert concert, and a Josh Baze concert.

The MLB Fan Cave site has changed, and each of the Dwellers has gotten their own page! Check mine out, and make note that the voting link is on the right. Again, voting is very important, so please take some time to vote throughout the coming weeks!

Below are the blogs that I wrote from this past week. Please take a moment to read them and leave a comment:

-Josh Hamilton: Mr. 74?

-Thank you, Tony

-Fenway vs. Wrigley

We are only two weeks away from the definite first elimination, so please keep the votes coming, urge your followers to follow me on Twitter (@KyleOKC), and encourage your friends to like my fan page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/KyleOKC).

Thanks again for the support and the prayers. I appreciate it more than you know!
