Good Afternoon....
Congrats to the Dallas Mavericks as they win the NBA Championship....Displaying veteran experience and refusing to get rattled they defeat the South Beach Trio who looked shell-shocked at the end of the game....Jason Terry led the way as the Mavs made shots when they needed to....Another superb shooting game from behind the 3pt. stripe by Dallas and another mediocre at best fourth quarter from Lebron James....Dirk Nowitzki shakes off a 1-12 first half to make some clutch baskets in the last few minutes....Miami shows sportsmanship by shaking hands after the game....Great job by Rick Carlisle (another branch of the Celtic tree) and owner Mark Cuban....Gotta make the Heat 2011-2012 favorites.
Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight in the Hub of Hockey....This has turned into a great series....Both teams have a strong dislike for each other....From the finger biting, trash-talking, finger pointing, slashing, late hits and all-around chippiness to the physical hits, offensive chances and outstanding goalie play this has been a great series to watch....Something about playoff hockey that keeps you on the edge of your seat....And the fan support for each team has been off the charts....Bruin diehards will "will" their team to victory for having the Vancouver Canucks hoist the Cup around the Boston Garden is unacceptable....C'mon there's gotta be a Game 7....Just gotta be....I can't understand Claude Julien's decision to keep Tyler Seguin off the Boston power play....Maybe he knows something we don't and he is the Coach....But hmmmmmmmm....I hope the Kid scores the winning goal.
Received a phone call at 6:45pm Saturday, just after the Belmont Stakes ended from a jubilent Dr. Thoroughbred Murr'...."I told ya so, I told ya so" he blabbered....Turns out he had the exacta #3 "Ruler On Ice" and #2 "Stay Thirsty" that paid $928.00 on a $2 ticket....He also had "Stay Thirsty" across the board and that paid $19.40 in the middle and $10.80 on the end....Nice score....His reasoning for his picks, "Ruler On Ice" and "Stay Thirsty" were the only two horses listed at 20-1 in the morning line and Dr. Murr' has a thing for 20-1 longshots....Next time we meet up cocktails are on Dr. Murr'....My selection #6 "Nehro" finished fourth and "Animal Kingdom" battled back from an awful start but ran out of gas down the stretch and crossed the wire sixth.
I know its supposed to the year of the pitcher but I count a number of contenders for the Triple Crown....Like Horse Racing, very difficult to do....This year you've got Jose Bautista, Adrian Gonzalez, Miguel Cabrera, David Ortiz and even Paul Konerko from the AL with a shot....In the NL, keep an eye on Matt Kemp, Joey Votto and Prince Fielder....And always be on the lookout for King Albert....Red Sox have won 9 in a row, Atlanta 6 straight and Milwaukee (8-2 in their last 10) sweeps the Cardinals to take over first place in the NL Central....Boston has been smoking hot and certainly didn't need a day off today....Lots of young talent to watch including Stanton (Fla), Hosmer (KC), Moustakas (KC), Morse (Was), Rizzo (SD) and soon to be coming to a field near you Lawrie (Tor)....Nice to see the young players in Pittsburgh and Kansas City but look out for the Washington Nationals....Drew Storen and Michael Morse....Jordan Zimmermann throwing lights out....With Steven Strasburg on the mend and the already a legend Bryce Harper blowing kisses down in Single-A.
Always great to see #24 Jeff Gordon win another NASCAR race....His 84th time taking the checkered flag....Not a fan favorite but he's number one on this list....He's just plain ol' good....My children are not #24 fans and one of 'em tried to get under my skin before the race by telling me this joke....But remember, he who laughs last, laughs best....
"Did your hear Jeff Gordon is bringing in a new crew chief from China? His name is Win-Won Soon."
the jokes on y'all.........talk to ya
