5/14: Back in Full....

Here we go...full-length, no less
  • New Orleans pounds the Spurs in the 2nd half en route to a big win.....Control of this series is now firmly in the hands of CP3 and the Hornets behind David West's ludicrous 38 and 14 performance (with a bad back even) and Paul was his usual fantastic self....The Spurs couldn't hit the jumpshots necessary to hang in there late, and looked old down the stretch when the offense stagnated...The series isn't over simply b/c it's the Spurs on the other end and no one can put it past them...but New Orleans is seemingly about to cruise to the West Final...
  • Detroit puts away Orlando....any time you can win on the road in Game 4 without your floor leader probably means you're in total control...and they were, winning without Chauncey again, and allowing themselves a long rest to get him healthy while they wait on the Boston/Cleveland series that has to go at least 6 games (and likely 7)...Should be a good one
Other stuff...
  • Yea, we know Spygate was a joke....but now the media wants to run 100,000 stories on how it was a joke! Just leave it...now....
  • MLB: How bout those Rays (or D-Rays) winning the AL East this late in the year? It was only a matter of time until their record caught up to the talent level...Jered Weaver was DEALING last night....combining on a 3-hitter with that crazy delivery working nicely...The hometown Braves still can't win a road game as they blow a 3-0 lead behind Jo-Jo Reyes and strand 2 in the Ninth, the pain continues....Back-to-back shutouts for Cleveland this time with Paul Byrd leading the way instead of the suddenly unhittable Cliff lee...Can someone schedule it so King Felix never has to go to Texas ever again? He has a +7.00 ERA lifetime there....yikes
  • Annika Sorenstam retires...yes, I know no one cares about women's golf (at least that I know) but I follow it somewhat lightly and know she is likely the greatest player ever in the sport....that deserves some props on its own..Ride off into the sunset Annika
  • Stop killing Billy Gillespie for recruiting young players....everyone does this...just not this publicly, he just shows his balls by not hiding it...
  • Myles Brand states they will turn up the heat on the OJ Mayo story...they must have alot of smoking guns here since the NCAA is notoriously slow to act on this kind of thing, and lightning fast on this one...not a good sign for USC
  • Barry Bonds is in trouble.....in case you didn't know....the initial 4 Perjury counts he was facing are now listed as 14 counts....my goodness, they must have him pegged
More later...
