The New York Yankees are 7-2 since A-Rod returned to the lineup and while he hasn't entirely found his stroke yet, his presence has seen Mark Teixera hitting over .500 in those games. Scary when a guy making an average of $22.5 million over the next eight years needs protection. The Yanks have won the last three with walk-off hits, the first time doing so since 1972...good of the NHL to finally get the semi-finals rolling. The Detroit Red Wings downed the Chicago Black Hawks 5-2 to open their series. Tonight, Carolina visits Pittsburgh to start the Eastern finals. I'm thinking a Detroit/Pittsburgh Cup final is all but a foregone conclusion...two game 7 beatdowns in the NBA yesterday, but you wouldn't have figured that the Boston Celtics were among the curbstomped, especially at home. Rough week in Beantown with the Bruins and Celtics both dropping Game 7's or as the rest of the world calls is: beautiful...in tennis action, at the Madrid Open yesterday, Roger Federer beat Rafael Nadal. On clay. Impressive, when Nadal is practically untouchable on that surface. Makes for a more interesting French Open, which opens shortly...say goodbye to Tony Kornheiser in the Monday Night Football booth, and say hello to Jon Gruden. Chucky is replacing T.K. starting this season...wise of Bud Selig - yes, I just said that - to move World Series start times up to just before 8pm this year, about 40 minutes ahead of recent years...have a great Victoria Day.

Nadal would have been the first ever to win all the clay events in the year with a win in Madrid. Federer stopped his record though, just as Nadal did to Federer in Wimbledon last year. I say that is pretty good revenge, especially as the event was in Nadal's homecountry.
Major upgrade for MNF football fans. Anyone who watched Gruden during the NFL draft knows the guy is an absolute natural...
would have preferred to see boston v pitt.
that, and scott walker shouldn't have even been playing so it pained me a bit to see him score the winner.
