4/19: Early Entrants, Playoffs Start, etc.

Short today, yesterday slayed me....
  • Isiah officially out in New York...shocking...wait, no....This was the only move for Donnie Walsh but I think it's now official that Isiah has something on Jim Dolan...b/c he is still employed in an advisory role! Wow...how? Oh well...maybe they'll hide him
  • NBA Quadruple-header today....it's a beautiful thing....the first three games are all watchable even for the average viewer (the HOU/UTA game not withstanding) so settle in and watch!
  • MLB: Chipper Jones is going off....4 homers in his last 2 and he's still hitting around .450...just carrying the Braves on his back offensively....Glavine hits the DL ::winces:: we're running low on starters.....David Ortiz is alive? 5 RBIs (and a grand slam).....Cliff Lee is looking like he's back to form again in Cleveland (8 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER)...Torii Hunter with a sick catch to end the game and save the win last night, THAT'S the reason they paid him...and the bat helps too.... The Tigers win again to make 4 of 5....maybe they're good after all? No telling really...Baseball can drive you crazy....I know they had no bullpen left after Thursday's 22 inning game...but we're just leaving Greg Maddux out there to die? There's no acceptable circumstance to have him go 7 IP when he's getting shelled...9 earned? 13 hits? yikes....
  • NBA Early Entrees Yesterday: Chris Douglas-Roberts is gone....at 6'7 with all the tools he's probably a top-15 pick (currently going between 9 and 24 on the mocks i've seen)...this one doesn't shock me as Rose is leaving and his stock is at its peak after an all-american type year....Luc Richard Mbah a Moute gone too...this one is a little skeptical for me...He shouldve left after his big Freshman year (would've been a top 10 pick) but if anything, he's regressed on the floor and definitely has in the eyes of scouts....I would've advised him to come back and be the leader of the very young team they will have next year....
  • Oh yea...SAVE THE SONICS!
  • The Pacman Jones strip club shooting case has an arrest made...and it isn't Pacman! Congrats to him and his lawyer lol....

That's enough for now...the NBA is FANNN-TASTIC! I love this game!
