Since 1976, the LA Clippers have had 38 first rounders, including 23 top 10's, 12 of which were top 4's. Only Danny Manning made the All-Star Game as a Clipper. It is that tradition of excrement that Blake Griffin finds himself up against...Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke has spoken at length about the Leafs looking to get bigger and tougher. So who does he draft? 167 pounder Nazem Kadri. Now, I've seen Kadri first hand as a Kitchener Ranger - and there's a reason he could net Steve Mason in a trade as a junior - but seems odd, as talented as I think he is, that Burke leaned that way...the New York Islanders selected John Tavares first in the draft, despite making it appear they were leaning in other directions. Have fun there, J.T...the Philadelphia Flyers sure seem to have given up loads to acquire Chris Pronger: a couple players including Joffrey Lupul, first rounders this year and next, and a conditional third. Seems like too much for a 34-year old, or is it just me?...the AL East went 5-0 last night in Interleague play with the closest margin of victory three runs. Toronto Blue Jays starter Ricky Romero and the New York Yankees CC Sabathia both went over half way to no hitters...Toronto FC are in Salt Lake tonight to take on Real. TFC have a load of road games left and will need to get some good results if a playoff game is to be a reality this fall. Kickoff is 9:30 on SportsNet...don't mess with off duty cops in parking lots at stadiums. You'll get shot in the head...check out these 10 awkward yearbook shots of metal stars before they were famous. Creepy. Paul Stanley looks like Anton Chigurgh from No Country For Old Men (a must see flick, by the by)...the Montreal Canadiens are still chasing Vincent Lecavalier, but are having a tough time lining up bodies to go the other way. That tends to happen when half your team are free agents...have a great Saturday.
