-LeBron scored Miami’s final ten points as the Heat knocked of the aging Celtics 97-87 in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semis. Don’t tell the Heat though, who celebrated as if they had just won the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
-In a series that has featured close games and back to back games with late blown leads, the SuperSonics Thunder beat Memphis 99-72 to take a 3-2 series lead. Game 6 is Friday night but it is to be seen if the teams will be arriving to the FedEx Forum via boat or bus.
-Eric Hosmer homered (get used to that) in a 4-3 win in extras last night to beat the Yankees in the Bronx despite being out hit 4 to 12. At least they made each hit worthwhile.
-David Price went 8 innings strong, the first four perfect, as the Rays snapped the Tribe’s 14 game home winning streak, 8-2.
-Apparently feeling sorry for the offensively impotent (oh, grow up) White Sox, Kevin Jepsen sailed an intentional ball over Hank Conger’s head allowing Alexei Ramirez score giving the Sox the lead and the win in 10. Paul Konerko made a ridiculous play at first to seal the game which we would show if Bud Selig didn’t hate the fans/technology. Mark Buehrle didn’t notice.
-The Fightin’ Friars of San Diego used up their May ration of hits after scoring 13 runs on 23 hits in a 13-6 win over Milwaukee. Opposing pictures can now prepare for the career best starts until June 1.
-The Phillies apparently hate Cliff Lee. It’s been 27 innings and counting since the Phils scored a run with Lee on the mound. Despite that they managed a 5-3 victory over the Marlins in ProPlayerDolphinsSunLifeLandshark Stadium after scoring 2 runs in the ninth to break a 3 all tie.
-Kendrys Morales is going on his usual spring to fall vacation as he is out for the year after opting for surgery on his left ankle.
-“Gentle giant”/former Michigan star/marginal NBA basketball player Robert “Tractor” Traylor was found died yesterday of an apparent heart attack at aged 34. He has been playing basketball in Puerto Rico after a 438 game NBA career.
-UMinnesota men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith announces he has prostate cancer. Good luck to him in his fight to beat the cruelest of diseases.
-The Fiesta Bowl will keep its BCS status but must pay a fine of $1 million. The hookers and drug dealers of the greater Phoenix-Glendale region must now find a new source of income.
-Yesterday was nap day in the NHL with no games being played. No one noticed.
