In the NHL last night, oh, wait, another night with no action. Moving on...here's what a small sample size can do. Going into play yesterday, A-Rod was hitting a brutal .189, albeit with 7 homers of his 15 hits. Mix in a 5 for 5 day yesterday and he's a more reasonable .259. Not a bad return to Texas, site of his drug usage days...if the Toronto Blue Jays were a song, right now they'd be Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Free Fallin'". Losers of 7 straight, and dropped to third place in the AL East. The Jays are 8-11 against teams north of .500; 19-10 against teams sub. 500...Cristiano Ronaldo says he only cares what happens with Manchester United next year and his heart is in Manchester. Of course, only a year ago he was said to be thinking Madrid and Real Madrid so who knows what is real other than this: he's very likely playing better than last season, at the key time too. Cannot wait for tomorrow's Champions League final...the most unlikely winner of 10 straight in the MLB - the San Diego Padres - just won 10 straight...frankly, I figured Vince McMahon et al would be a lot more biting than they were last night in their skewering of Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke...Jeremy Shockey was taken from a pool party in Vegas on a stretcher after being "dehydrated". Isn't that code for "partied way too hard"? Is there a guy whose career has had more ink but done less than that guy?...Cleveland Cavalier Mo Williams has done what the NBA and NHL playoffs were not missing so far: he has guaranteed a win in the Cavs series with the Orlando Magic. Nice of him to make that guarantee when he and his teammates have done about nothing so far to help LeBron James, and if not for that last second prayer LBJ hit, they're down 3-0...not only was I off in suggesting that it would be brutal if the Stanley Cup Finals started this Saturday if the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings wrapped up their series in the next couple days, that would have been the best case scenario if it were a case at all. The series is slated to start June 5th. Way to go, Gary Bettman. That could mean nine days off for the Wings...have a great Tuesday.Tuesday, May 26, 2009
"Enis" Kroenke doesn't rhyme with "genius"

It's Jose Lima Time in E-town tonight!!!
Lima takes the mound tonight in Edmonton for the Long Beach Armada of the Golden Baseball League.
Bukkake will be there in full force, screaming at the top of the lungs... perhaps even commenting on Lima's well documented case of herpes.
that raw thing was beyond underwhelming, if that's a word.
i was like "that's it?"
you got a week to come up with some zing and "that's it?"
that said, the stern lookalike was hilarious.
i was listening to the FAN yesterday and they were talking about the june 5 start. then they received a memo (or something) saying it may potentially start this saturday.
regardless, no hockey last night and as i said to my comrade in pittsburgh, i've run road hockey leagues with more common sense than this.
this drags on so long that the only fans who care by the end of it are those of the two teams in the finals.
