Good Morning....In this age of instant news and constant surveillance we have these items....
Kyle Busch - apologizes for his "lack of judgement" after he was cited for careless and reckless driving plus speeding going 128mph in a 45mph zone in his 2012 yellow Lexus LFA near his hometown in Mooresville, NC....Busch's defense was that it was no big deal and he was "test driving a new sports car and I got carried away"....I know it's unreasonable to expect a NASCAR stud to follow the same speed limits as us normal beings but that was arrogance....
Andre Ethier - distracted by a photographer snapping photos during his batting practice, shows his displeasure by giving the double barrel salute as he looks straight into the lens....While frustrated by the clicking during his hitting that was just plain stupid....
Joakim Noah - heckled by a fan behind his bench during the playoffs, Noah replies with a gay slur....Caught on camera the NBA responds with a $50,000 fine (Kobe was hit with $100k)....Gotta let security handle the fool because that was politically incorrect....
Charles Barkley - raising his middle fingers in unison responding to a Miami crowd serenading him with a loud chorus of "Barkley Sucks!" during a TNT telecast....Right on brother!....
back to the action....
Experience pays off as the Thunder wilt late yet again and Dallas prevails moving on to face the South Beach Trio....A gritty performance by the Tampa Bay Lightning in a wide open third period forces a game 7 against the Bruins....Hmmm, another game 7 for Bruin fans, Friday in Beantown, add lots of alcohol and you have the makings of an electric atmosphere in Boston tomorrow night.
Journeyman infielder Wilson Valdez moves to the mound from 2nd base in the 19th inning and retires the Reds facing four batters to earn the win as the Phillies score in the bottom of the 19th putting an end to the six plus hour game....Always a pleasure to wipe the sleep from your eyes only to have the first thing you see is your Fantasy catcher in two leagues, Buster Posey, getting steamrolled and helped off the field in obvious pain....Shades of Ray Fosse....Carl Crawford is smacking the piss out of the ball....
from the "there's no cryin' in baseball" files....
"What we have here is failure to communicate" - from the classic movie "Cool Hand Luke"......Brian Fuentes throws his manager, Bob Geren, under the bus to the media for not "communicating" but Huston Street backs his ass up with this statement about Geren.... "he was my least favorite person I have ever encountered in sports from age 6 to 27"....The knife and the twist....
A shout out to all GI's for all you do as this Memorial Day weekend approaches with a special holler to my youngest son Bryan, sweltering in the 100 degree heat as he grinds out basic training at Camp Air Force down in San Antonio....Hang in there, kid....
NFL lockout continues as both sides get ready for arguments before the court June 3rd....I hope they all remember what MLB went thru back in 1994....Too much money to not come to an agreement....Remember Fantasy Football is big business, NFL non-playing employees need paychecks and Las Vegas, Las Vegas, Las Vegas....And the lawyers get richer....
Pete Rose broke Ty Cobb's hit record 25 years ago....When Mickey Mantle heard the news he said "If I'd hit that many singles, I'd wore a dress"........talk to ya
