Good Morning....Have you tuned into the new show "Intentional Talk" on the MLB Network?....Very entertaining hour hosted by Chris Rose and his sidekick Kevin Millar....The chemistry between the two is spot on featuring comments on games the night before, that afternoon, Kevin's highlights, Kevin's "not so" hightlights and player interviews....Chris is the perfect host....Millar is a natural before the camera and being a new retiree he has a connection with active ballplayers that shines through during interviews, revealing real personalities....Insightful and lots of laughs....5pm eastern time Mon - Fri, I highly recommend.....MLB Network also has Hazel Mae...............
What happened to the Thunder??....Game is in hand but James Harden fouls out with 4 1/2 minutes left, Dirk goes all Jordan on the Thunder, Mavs outscore them 17-2 down the stretch and force overtime....Ya knew the outcome after that....Dallas up 3-1....Slight blemish on Nowitzki, he missed a free throw....Bruins defeat Tampa to take a 3-2 series lead despite a big difference in shots on net favoring the Lightning....Back and forth, up and down, good playoff game....Tim Thomas makes the big save late in the game stopping Downie with a (Reebok) stick stop as the puck was going into the net....Something about that Tyler Seguin kid.
Josh Hamilton homers on his first pitch back....Nelson Cruz also homers in his first game off the DL but Chase Utley goes hitless....Fat man Colon gets whacked around by the Blue Jays....Cleveland, with the best record in baseball, pull out another late one over the red hot Red Sox behind the smoking Asdrubal Cabrera who had 8 hits, 3 homers and 7 rbi betwen Sunday and Monday....Fred Wilpon, owner of the Mets and Madoff "victim", says that David Wright is a "Good man. Good player. But not a great player", Carlos Beltran is "65-70 percent of what he use to be" and his current contract was given out by some "schmuck" in the front office based on one playoff series....He also throws Jose Reyes under the bus saying "he wants Crawford money and he's not gonna get it"....Sounds like the truth to me.
Gotta touch on the Lance Armstrong brouha....Lance, just come clean....Too much smoke not to be true.
Charles Barkley may call the Heat the "whiny bunch" but I have to give that title to the Boston Celtics....If you saw "The Association" on the NBA channel, a five piece series covering the C's, the team lost it's mojo when they traded Perkins....Hanging heads and tears were bountiful as their anchor was cast off during a West coast trip....Danny Ainge has done a great job but he was wrong on this one....Danny has to trade that loose cannon Rajon Rondo, save cap space, take his lumps this year and sign Dwight Howard and/or Chris Paul and/or Deron Williams for the 2012-2013 season.
US Open is coming up and Tiger Woods is going to play....I thought he was hurt?....Oh, he used the injury to bail out of a bad round a couple weeks ago but the Prima Donna is still throwing his hat in the Open ring....Guess his "injury" wasn't that bad....Still arrogant, his 1 1/2 year train wreck still in progress, I say "play"....Play bad.
Why do I have a bad feeling about the NFL lockout....Can both sides be that stupid?.....Yes....When some players don't get their game checks and the high vig loan payments come due, someone will cross and the owners will win.
A moment on the Joplin tornado....Having been through a big one years back in Wichita Falls, Texas I can vouch for the intensity of the damage having seen two by fours slice through cement, drapes on the outside of houses with the roof put back down, engines sucked out of autos, paint stripped off vehicles, one side of the street fine, the other destroyed and cars tossed like paper dolls....Really have to see the damage first hand to get the full experience....Thoughts go out to the people of Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas and the rest of tornado alley.
Mother Nature Gone Wild....talk to ya
You Rock Mr.Cee
