-Before I rip into LeBron, lets give credit where it belongs. Dirk, Jet, and co. flat out beat Miami last night. They didn't get lucky, they didn't get bailed out by the refs, they just beat Miami. They are the better and I really enjoy watching them play basketball. Their 112-103 victory has them 48 minutes away from lifting the Larry O'Brien as champions of the NBA.
-LeBron knows this isn't hockey and they play four periods and not three, right? Yes, BronBron had a triple-double and his overall numbers were good. Good isn't good enough. He needs to be great, and I don't think he has it in him. For the second straight game he shrank when it mattered most, scoring only two points in the last quarter. And those came with less than 30 seconds left. Miami is slowly turning on him as the begin to see what he really is, a phenomenal boy of an athlete, not a man.
-Apparently Bill Stewart may not have to coach a season with a coach in waiting. Reports out of the backwoods of America (you'll understand the dislike of this place shortly) seem to be pointing to Stewart being out of a job as soon as this weekend.
-Hey, Kenny Britt? Stop being a fucking asshole. You're making our alma mater look bad, not yours. Every single person who writes for this site has a Rutgers diploma hanging on a wall (or stuffed in a drawer) while you don't. What do you have instead? A multi-million dollar contract and the potential to be one of the best receivers in the NFL. Stop fucking up and listen to Derrick Mason when he says to get out of New Jersey.
-Bob Geren is out as the managers of the Oakland A's, the first A's manager to be ousted mid-season in over 25 years. Bob Melvin is not the interim manager further proving there are approximately 45 managers in baseball and clubs just recycle the constantly. If you follow the link there is a great little side anecdote about Mike Sweeney giving a speech in which he is essential Randall Patrick McMurphy and Geren is Nurse Ratched.
-Rain delayed the start of the Yankees-Red Sox game last night by 3 hours and 27 minutes. First pitch was at 10:32 PM and last out was recorded at 1:43 AM. In between there a game was played, some players were plunked, a Yankees lead was established, a seven run Red Sox happened, and the Sox swept the Empire.
-The Phillies couldn't hold a lead last night in the ninth and and it ended up costing them in the eleventh. Tyler Colvin scored the go ahead run on a Placido Polanco throwing error as the Baby Bears won 4-3. It's the eighth time in nine games the Phils have scored three or fewer runs.
-Well that was fun while it lasted, Pittsburgh.
-Can a brother get some run support? Madison Bumgarner is 2-8... with a 3.23 ERA! He picked up loss eight on the year last night, dropping a 3-0 decision.
-Tacos AND wins in Denver!
-Roberto Luongo will be back between the pipes tonight for the Canucks. The bigger question is will he be there at the end of the third period or will the Bruins chase him once more.
-Ay, caramba! Five players on the Mexican national soccer team were banned for using the PED last year's Tour de France champion Alberto Contador was found to be using.
