Quick hitters today...
- The Braves inch closer to the wild card with a huge 3-2 win coupled with a Padres loss... Hudson was dominant... allowing only 1 run (in an inning where he shattered basically everyone's bat), and doing so on 3 days rest... big time "ace" performance there... and Eric Hinske's moonshot in the 7th did enough to get the win.... and thank you to the Cubs for shutting down San Diego yet again, and widening the gap to 1.5 games going into today's series finisher against Florida...
- Orlando Magic plan on offering Dwight Howard an extension this summer... how is that news? If they WEREN'T going to? That would be news... but an NBA team locking down a top-5 player in the league in their prime isn't news...
- Mark Dantonio plans to coach Michigan State this weekend... pretty crazy when you realize he had a heart attack a week and a half ago... but he'll be in the coaching box, and clearly has been given medical clearance to do so... I heard some piling on this morning that I didn't understand... if he's cleared, and out of the "fire" on the sideline... let him coach...
- Looking forward to firing up some NBA preview discussion in the coming days... going to be going back and forth with my trusted confidant Ryan on all 30 teams... Give it some time... it'll be here...
What to watch for...
- Marlins/Braves - 4:30 ESPN - Miller/Lowe - Huge pitching advantage for Atlanta.. playing at home... weird start time... and really need this win with Philly looming on the weekend (regardless if they are setting their rotation or not, they can still hit)
- D-Backs/Giants - 10:00 pm ESPN - Kennedy/Lincecum
- Cubs/Padres - Not televised in Atlanta - Yes, I know we can't watch... but Go Cubs...
CFB and NFL Previews to come Thursday and Friday... be on the lookout
