-Twins great Harmon Killebrew is losing his battle with cancer. Killebrew, 74, announced today that he is no longer plans to fight the esophageal cancer that he was diagnosed with last December. Killebrew currently ranks on 11th on baseball's all-time home run list with 573 homers. He appeared in 11 All-Star Games and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984. This is sad news for baseball.
-The Conference Finals have arrived in hockey and I am picking San Jose and Tampa Bay to move on and face each other in the Stanley Cup Finals. Having said that, put your money on Vancouver and Boston.
-In the NBA I am betting on a Dallas-Miami Finals. I don't see anyone beating Miami right now either.
-On Thursday night @NFL on Twitter posed the question "If Tony Gonzalez isn't the best tight end currently playing in the NFL right now then who is?" I responded, "No tight end is currently playing in the NFL." Damn this lockout.
-Speaking of Twitter, Chad Ochocinco has announced he is going to try Professional Bull Riding as he waits for the lockout to end. I guess he grew accustomed to BS from being around Terrell Owens.
-If the Mets want to secure a solid future they are going to have to sacrifice the present. This means getting something in return for Jose Reyes, Francisco Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran, and Jason Bay among others.
-Nationals top prospect Bryce Harper looks like the real deal. In 32 games for A Hagerstown he is hitting .395 with 8 homers and 30 RBI, 6 SB's, 17 BB's, 27 K's, an OBP of .473, 11 2B's, and has an OPS of 1.175. Sure, its only 32 games but he is just 18 years-old!
-Boxer Bernard Hopkins ripped into Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb on Tuesday. Hopkins said of McNabb, "Forget this. He's got a suntan. That's all." Basically, Hopkins thinks McNabb's being raised in a Chicago suburb disqualifies McNabb from being black. Really? I didn't know there were certain criteria individuals needed to meet in order to be a member of a race.
-I don't know what is wrong with the Yankees lately but I haven't seen them play such bad all around baseball since 1990-91. Bad fielding, poor hitting, forgettable pitching, nothing is going right for the Yankees right now. Even when they get good pitching, like A.J. Burnett's 7 inning 1 hitter, they don't hit. Last night was the worst. The errors, poor pitching, and the lack of hitting resulted in poor showings against the Tigers and Royals over the past week. Terrible, just terrible.
