Weekend Review Quick Notes

~The Yankees blow. That's pretty much all you can say right now. They go out and show some life by beating the Red Sox 2 of 3 and then tank come the weekend, to their bane the Angels. Every single day they find away to lose. The one time they score a decent amount of runs this weekend (6) they give up 10 then when they get good pitching outings they can't score any runs. The season is only so long and they're currently 13.5 out of the East and 7 1/2 out of the Wildcard but it's not just that. In order to win 95 games the Yanks need to go 74-39 the remainder of the season. That's at a clip just below winning every series 2 out of 3. Maybe that's a possibility but if they don't turn it around this week and start winning games their season is effectively over, and heads should start to begin rolling, starting with the man at the top, the Cashman.

~On that note, can the Red Sox, lose maybe a game or two?

~The Indians dominated the Tigers this weekend to show them that they are for real, in their 3 game weekend sweep. Then of course they got beat in Fenway last night.

~This whole thing with the Patriots player drowning in a lake is pretty messed up.

~I watched a little bit of the Lacrosse match yesterday and I just can't wrap my hands around why Lacrosse hasn't become a big time sport yet. There are plenty of goals each game, people get rocked all the time, and smashed with their sticks. It's a quality sport, and it doesn't involve ice like hockey. I guess the landscape of American sports is so jampacked right now that introducing anything new, or trying to get anything to high levels is just about impossible.

~Surprise, I didn't watch a single second of the Indy 500.

~On the NBA side I watched some of the game last night before I decided that in the mid 4th the Jazz had no chance of winning because the only one on their team doing anything at all was Deron Williams and he had the flu. The Spurs will win game 5 and that will be a wrap, but Williams is showing himself to be a top 5 point guard in the NBA right now. He's got the ball handling, the passing skills, he can knock down a J from anywhere and he can get to the rack. He can do it all, in fact I think I would rather have him than Chris Paul.

~The Cavs won, but really the Pistons have done this every series so far, they'll win it in 6 or 7, it's pretty muych just a formality now that the Spurs and Pistons have a rematch of their previous finals that the Spurs took in 7.

~The Stanley Cup finals started last night on Versus, a channel I still do not get.

~The French Open started, I'll be pumped up for a Federer Nadal final if that happens.
