Good Afternoon....
Well, Miami let Dallas hang around and after a thunderstorm of three pointers the Mavs are one game away from making all Celtic fans very happy....Lebron James has another lousy 4th quarter, Wade is hurt (or so he says) and momentum has shifted to the hungry Mavs....If Dallas wins how hard will it be to live with Mark Cuban?....If Miami loses will they cry like the little bitches that Sir Charles says they are?....If the Heat come back to win, will it matter?....Jason Terry and J.J. Barea start raining long balls and its over....A lot of attention, and rightly so, goes to King James but isn't that Dirk Nowitzki some kind of player?
The Stanley Cup Finals return to Vancouver where the "Green Men" hope to help the Canucks find their mojo....Boston physically dominated Vancouver in games 3 and 4....This is a MUST game for the Canucks 'cause they do NOT want to go back to crazy ass Beantown down 3-2....Can Timmy "Terrific" Thomas get away with his feistiness in British Columbia?....Has anyone seen the Sedin twins?....Brad Marchand (so far) has their number.
Red Sox sweep the Yankees to go 6-0 in Yankee Stadium this year....They also assume a two game lead in the AL East....Sox drill a couple more Yankees and the Bronx Bombers retaliate with a "love tap" (to borrow a phrase from Timmy Terrific) to the thigh of Big Papi....Lets see, Ortiz hits a home run, pirouettes, flips the bat and instead of A.J. Burnett delivering the memo in the 1st inning the next night he grooves one and Ortiz takes him yard....BoSox pitchers hit Jeter and A-Rod....Yanks hit Big Papi with a "love tap"....C'mon, send a message, high and tight.....Sox rally with 7 in the 7th (after a 10:32 pm start) against C.C. Sabathia, sweep the series and send the New Yorkers crawling home with their tails between their legs.
Dustin Pedroia expected to play for Boston tonight in Toronto....Nice surprise....Joba the Hut expected to undergo Tommy John surgery depleting an already suspect bullpen down in the Bronx....Two unexpected things (Not!)....Manager Bob (what we have here is failure to communicate) Geren is fired by the A's and QB Terrelle (I did nuthin' wrong) Pryor is not coming back for his senior year at Ohio State....Shocking.
The 1 1/2 mile Belmont Stakes is being run on Saturday with a strong field....Top seven finishers in the Kentucky Derby will go to post....Rubber match between Derby winner "Animal Kingdom" and Preakness victor "Shackleford"....Just got off the phone with Dr. Thoroughbred Murr' and after making plans to watch the Stanley Cup tonight he offered his selection on Saturday's race...."A longshot is due and thinking about how many beers I'm gonna drink tonight watching the hockey game, I'll go with #2 "Stay Thirsty" at 20-1"....After I hung up I quickly scratched "Stay Thirsty" off any exotic plays I had him on....Dr. Murr' hasn't picked a winner since he had Billie Jean King over Bobby Riggs....I like #6 Nehro and will throw $20 across the board on him....Add #1 "Master of Hounds", #9 "Animal Kingdom", #10 "Mucho Macho Man" and #12 "Shackleford" to round out your Exacta, Trifecta and Superfecta betting....Good luck.
Happened across a "Major League" movie the other day and it reminded me of this....
"The biggest thrill a ballplayer can have is when your son takes after you. That was when my Bobby was in his championship Little League game. He really showed me something. Struck out three times. Made an error that lost the game. Parents were throwing things at the car and swearing at us as we drove off. Gosh, I was proud." - Bob Uecker...............talk to ya
