Things have been busy here, what with the witch burnings, and hop-scotch( not to mention the witch-scotch and hop burns ), so I thought "what a great time for some incomplete ideas"!
Big Brown will win the Belmont, becoming the first horse since Affirmed to win the Triple Crown.
Bad year for Cleavland so far. The Cavs sputtered against Boston and the Indians have quietly had one of the worst producing lineups in baseball. Lebron can go to the Nets but can the Indians get back with Balco?
Joba should be starting. I'm impressed with the Yanks thinking outside of the box; making the transition from reliever to starter without a minor league demotion.
Washington is the worst team in the majors and it is not even close. They might have the worst line-up, the worst starting pitching, and the worst bullpen in all of baseball. Quite the triple crown of infamy.
The Mariners should fire their GM. They are wasting the prime years of one of the most unique players in baseball history. If not, MLB should intervene and force Seattle to trade Ichiro to a contender.
I don't know who is winning the World Series this year, but I do know it won't be Boston.
Rasheed Wallace completely failed the Pistons in game 6 against Boston. Four points with one attempt to post-up the entire game: pathetic. They should trade him now while he still has value to someone like Washington, or Phoenix.
Paul Pierce is hard not to like. He is also very slow. Kobe drinks his milkshake.
San Antonio needs to get Duncan some inside help now. The way the Spurs are currently constructed he is their number one inside scorer, and rebounder, and defender. There has never been a team in the history of the NBA where a player has had to carry that kind of load inside, and go on to win a championship.
The Hornets need to sign a big free agent who can score or they're going backward next year. For all of the talk of David West being the most underrated player in the NBA, the playoffs proved why he's been an acquired taste: his lack of reliable scoring, even with the best point guard on the planet, Chris Paul, setting him up.
The Utah Jazz were a top four team this year, and just a unique group of players. They had a seven footer center, Okur, who wanted to be a two guard and shoot threes, an undersized power forward, Carlos Boozer-ridiculously listed at 6'9"-, who only posts up, and a point guard who's as strong as most forwards. Just a truly bizzaro line-up. I don't think they can ever win it all, unless they bring in Don Nelson(not happening) or get more conventional positionally.
The NHL is still dead. And by dead I mean buried and skeletal never to return. They get their dream match-up for this year's finals and no one cares. NBC carries the games and they got a better rating for their midnight poker series. Wow.
It's amazing how Kobe always find a way to undermine his own success. He's at the cusp of his first title without Shaq, he just won his first MVP, and what does he do? He gives an interview where he gets all pissy about being compared to MJ, and to top it off credits, the Laker's success this year to his ability to finally "instill my DNA into the rest of the team". And no, I didn't make that quote up. And yes, insert your prison jokes here. Or OJ jokes. I mean the possibilities are endless. Just a complete turd sniffer that guy.
The Rays are for real the Marlins are not. Look for Olson and Uggla to be traded after the All-Star break, and the Rays to make the playoffs. (Props to Zaaq for calling that)
Granted I'm a Boston-hater but the level of ESPN schilling ( no pun intended) for the Sox and especially the Pats has risen to Fox news levels. The main offenders are Karl Ravech and Peter Gammons; just the host of Baseball tonight and it's main commentator, but the whole network suffers from its isolated location as a broadcast site. Even Turner broadcasting in its heyday had enough minority viewpoints in Atlanta to give it a sense of jurisprudence. Not the backwater of Bristol, where clam chowder is used to baptise the inbred New Englanders leading to the inevitable dropped "r"'s in the speech patterns.
KG missing two free throws in game 6 when the verdict was still in doubt is just more evidence that his value is overblown. He is a top 100 player all time at best. He is not a top fifty player; no matter what happens the rest of these playoffs. He is one of the weakest Defensive Player of the Year award winners ever. Gasol will torch KG in the post, and if the refs come close to calling the games both ways, then Garnett will spend every game on the bench in foul trouble, or guarding Lamar Odom. A dubious honor for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.
The Bulls take D. Rose first in the NBA draft. He's the right choice. And after the 2005 draft debacle, where the teams with the top two picks both passed on Chris Paul and Deron Williams (the two best point guards in the league already)just as the new no hand-checking rule switched the league from big man dominance to perimeter dominance; there's a chance, albeit small, that Chicago actually makes the right choice.
Clinton doesn't want and won't receive a Vice-President offer. And it won't matter.
Obama wins and she runs and wins for NY Governor in 2010.
John Edwards- Att. Gerneral, Joe Biden- Sec. of Defense, Bill Richardson Sec. of State,
and Kathleen Sebelius as Vice President.
You heard it here first, loudest.
