I guess i jumped the gun a little. Tiger pitching slowed down the suddenly vaunted Oriole attack Sunday , shutting out the Birds 3-0. Making his second big-league start, Baltimore rookie Jason Berken (1-1) gave up one run, four hits and two walks in seven innings. The only glaring flaw in his outing was a fourth-inning solo shot by Curtis Granderson. The O’s now head to the Left Coast to play Seattle Sunday night.
The Magic is a much better and deeper team with its PG in the lineup. He seems to be making progress but this could just be a Van Gundy ploy to disrupt the Lakers preparation for the title series. Dwight Howard to be on a mission but Kobe is Kobe and the Lakers win easily in 6. The Lakers will need to be better guarding the 3, therefore I doubt we will see extensive doubleteaming of Superman.

This could only happen in horse racing. We could have a triple crown jockey. Sorry, Calvin Borel, you should have given Mine That Bird the mount in the Preakness. Even though Bird should easily win the Belmont, his record is blemished at the hands of his own favorite jockey.
LeBron James uncharacteristically stormed out of Orlando’s Amway Arena as his Cavs were beaten soundly by a deeper Orlando Magic team. Just how devastated was LeBron, the league’s MVP? What’s next for the King? What does Orlando need to do to beat LA? Why Kobe is still the best NBA player. All these topics will be tackled this week.
I knew it wouldn’t take long for a class act and successful coach like Eddie to land on his feet . A piece of advice for Eddie: stay away from Gilbert.
The Arizona Daily Star reported today that the chances of Born Ready becoming a Wildcat are slim. Coach Sean Miller seems set on his 3 recruits according to the article. I am not sure who is left in the picture for Lance, but I expect we will know more June 15 when Greivis’ NBA decision must be made. For a good recruiting update check out Matt Bracken’s blog from the Sun.
