CELTICS!!!!!!!!!!

As an Irish person I was taught to love the Celtics at a young age and this year my waiting is finally over. They made it to the finals and the main reason ,I feel, was Paul "The Truth" Pierce. And boy has he lived up to his nick-name he has been on a tear having almost no regard for human life. His biggest performance was during game 1 of the finals when he got injured and came back out with 2 straight threes. He is finally getting what he deserves after spending his whole career in Boston and suffering through losing season after losing season. As long as there are good,competitive games I don't have a preference for a winner. But Pierce better do good.

HOCKEY COMING BACK??????

Hockey just wrapped up one of the most electrifying playoffs in recent memory. Though it was competing with the NBA finals it was phenomenal for the people who did watch it. It featured a great dynasty and the LeBron James of hockey. Sidney Crosby was that LeBron and just like LeBron he fell short in his first attempt for a championship. The series between Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins featured some of the best goaltended games especially by the usually victorious Red Wings and their goalie, Chris Osgood. He saved their season and gave them the championship with his super glove work and quick skates. This was the boost the NHL was looking for and might lead to more attendance in games after a dismal year this season.

Still Here............For Now

Willie Randolph emerged from his meeting with ownership still the manager of the Mets and still on the hot seat. When he was summoned to the offices of Owner (and Lafayette alumn) Fred Wilpon everyone speculated a firing or some kind of punishment but in the end it was just to discuss Willie's comments made last week. That is absolutley absurd because to hold a meeting for a team in dire need of help and only discuss comments that were news for about a day and a half is crazy. Willie is doing an okay job this season but all the scrutiny is from their spectacular collapse last year and in a way that is not fair. Also what upset me is the fact that they said that only the media had high expectations but in my view so did Omar Minaya because he wouldn't have spent all that money if he didn't think they would be good or in contention. This team feels nothing like teams past. In 2006 they could be down 10-0 in the last inning and you still felt like they could come back but this year if they get down 2-0 in the first it feels like the whole game is finished.

NBA DRAFT

The Chicago Bulls got the first overalll pick in the 2008 draft. The other day I was watching the draft lottery to see what the draft would look like, the Miami Heat had the highest percentage to obtain the first pick. My favorite team the Chicago Bulls had a 1.7% chance to get the first pick. To my suprise they got the first pick and I was exited to say the least. With this luck The Chicago Bulls look to be picking from a very tyalented but young field. I think that th bst fit for their current system is Kevin Love th 7 foot center from UCLA. I say this bcuause of th fact that thir only center is Aaron Gray, I know,who's Aaron Gray? Evn though Michael"Beastley"Beasly is the sexy pick it would intefere with th devlopment of Joakim Noah, the power forward they drafted in last yars first round and they traded for Drew Gooden this season. O.J.Mayo is good but he dosen't have as much experience or talent asBenGordon,Kirk Hinrich or Larry Hughes., Kevin Love would give the Bulls that defensive presence that they have missed since they traded Tyson Chandler to New Orleans. Not to mention that the jersey will look great hugging all of Love's fat.

WHAT THE HELL???!!!!!!!

Yoooo, I know that Michael Vick did a very bad thing but people have to take it easy. I mean every body is just attacking him. All he did was kill a bunch of dogs, I'm not saying thats a good thing but it's not the worst he can do. People put lives in danger and barely get any time. People have more sympathy for murderers. It was terrible what happened but he put no ones life in danger. And this picture is quite hilarious but WOW!!!

My Favorite Players

Surprises of the first few months of the baseball season

The biggest and most obvious surprise is of course the Tampa Bay Rays. They are 7 games over five - hundred and in first place in the toughest division,the A.L. East. I think that they are doing so well because of the lack of steroids. This year there have been much less long balls because of, what i think is, the mlb's actions against cheaters. Games are not being decided by a three-run walk-off shot but rather by small ball moves. This season has been chock-full-of surprises and looks to have some more in store.

Vote on my poll for the home run king and who ever you pick I will discuss what I think about them.
