Memorial Day Weekend QuickNotes

Baseball

1) Thank you thank you thank you. Bonds hitting his 715th means espn won't cut into its programming and that other more important sporting events will lead Sportscenter episodes. There were two interesting things about the home run, first the fact that the radio announcers microphone went dead during the middle of the home run announcement. Was this the spite of Babe Ruth? The best part of #715 was that the guy who caught the ball was rewarded for getting more beer.

2) The Big Unit pitched really well yesterday. Is this him filling his one good start a month quota? I just do not get it you are confusing me either pitch well or pitch bad, don't get my hopes up and then get rocked for your first 4 starts in June.

NBA Playoffs

1) The Heat seemingly ran over the Pistons at home. How quickly until Wade's And One layup find its way onto a poster in every child in Miami's bedroom.

2) How about Ben Wallace going out and saying that Detroit doesn't practice defense enough and that's why they're defense is worse than it was last year. How about the fact you guys couldn't score at all in Miami? Extra offensive practice the issue there?

3) If the Heat collapse I think Shaq might kill someone.

4) The Suns desperately need Raja Bell, not necessarily because he is incredibly talented, more because they have a 7 man rotation with him, without him they are reaching for players on their bench who should not be playing.

5) Dallas is just plain better than Phoenix, if the Suns do in fact push it to game 7 like I predicted I will be shocked.

Weekend Humour

1) Ricky Williams has started practicing for the Toronto Argonauts. In addition to practice Ricky has decided to supplement his income by teaching Yoga lessons before Argonaut practices. Thank you Ricky for the stretching lessons.

2) As the Hot Summer Concert season rolls around only one thing is stealing headlines. Ron Artest is going to be an opening act for Young Jeezy and Mike Jones. Sign me up as a roadie.

3) The Marlins this weekend held a Jewish Heritage promotional game. In accordance they gave away Mike Jacobs shirts to people in attendence. This confused Jacobs as he is in fact not Jewish and when he asked the Marlins what was up they said that the two promotions were seperate. Yeah uh huh right. How about the fact you just assumed a man named Jacobs was Jewish. Thank you Marlins marketing staff for a good laugh.

4) Thank you New York Knicks for somehow always bringing me funny stories. This weekend, Stephon Marbury decided to say that he wanted to die a knick and want his ashes sprinkled on top of the Garden. Hopefully, a window washer will be employed that day and will quickly clean up the mess.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
