Break out the broom in Detroit today because the Cavs will close out that series with ease. The Pistons mailed it in many weeks ago and King James and the Cavs seem to be on a crash course to the NBA Finals. Rockets also cover tonight at home to make that series 3-1 Houston.

Greg Paulus Is Confused
April 26, 2009 by
We always thought Paulus was a Dookie tride and true, but in the last few weeks he has made us think differently. First we got word Paulus was going to join the Michigan Wolverines football team and then it appeared he might go to Syracuse instead to play quarterback. Now comes this picture where it appears Paulus is rocking a hated Tarheels shirt and posing for photos? The baby doesn’t seem to be amused by Paulus’s mysterious ways.

I really like the Heat tonight at home after the way Dwayne Wade and the gang played in Game 2 versus Atlanta. I also like the Lakers to rebound from a disappointing loss in Game 3 to the Jazz.

I was very confident about the Cavs last night and for awhile it looked like the lock of the century. In the end they only covered by one and unfortunately Portland couldn’t quite get over the hump, but they did win. I like my two picks for tonight so follow if you feel the same.

RBI Themed MLB Video
April 21, 2009 by
Now there have been some awesome baseball video games created over the years, but has there been any better than R.B.I. Baseball from Nintendo? Now I totally appreciate the games of today have better graphics along with a lot more bells and whistles, but to me it still doesn’t get any better than this classic 1987 NES game. Check out this video montage of former MLB stars backed by a hip-hop song with a RBI twist.

I have to say I would even take the Cavs if they were favored by 15 tonight at home against the Pistons. Detroit is flat out “turrable” and they mailed it in weeks ago. I’m not as confident about the Blazers, but if they don’t want to get swept a win tonight is a must. Happy gambling!

Keith Langston Continues Winning Ways
April 20, 2009 by
Keith Langston started on the pole this past Saturday April 18th for the twenty lap Pure Stock race at Orange County Speedway. Langston got off to a good start, but not the same thing can be said for his other competitors. Langston rolled out to about a 7 or 8 car length lead early in the race on the next closest racer Thomas Penny. Then on lap 7 there was caution on the track for debris and after lap 10 Langston was still in the lead with Thomas Penny in second, Chase Sandefur in third, Tony Ivey in fourth and Thomas Chappell in fifth. Thomas Penny made a big push for “Mississippi” Langston towards the latter part of the race and even went side by side for a lap or so with Langston riding the high line as usual. In the end when the white flag flew it was Langston grabbing the victory and another trophy for the memorabilia room. Langston finished first with Thomas Penny in second, and Sandefur winding up in third. Langston won the season long point’s race in ’08 and it sure looks like he hasn’t missed a bit after the first race of this year.

UEFA…Then There Were Four
April 16, 2009 by
UEFA Champions League
Home and home competition between Europe’s top football (soccer) clubs from each of Europe’s top domestic leagues: England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, etc.
Purpose: Determine Europe’s top club team.
Manchester United vs. Porto
Defending UEFA Champions, Manchester United, returned to the UEFA Champions League semifinal for a second consecutive year behind an amazing goal from perhaps the world’s best player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
With only six minutes played, Ronaldo collected a pass from Anderson and let rip a shot from 30+ yards from goal. Porto keeper, Helton, had little chance of stopping the potent, imaginative strike.
United faced an uphill challenge after tying Porto 2-2 at Old Trafford in United’s home leg of the competition. Following the first leg, Porto was tied on aggregate goals (2-2) and held a significant lead in away goals (2-0). Additionally, no English team had ever beaten Porto on their home pitch.
On this night, however, United was more than up to the challenge. With Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic anchoring United’s defense, Porto were unable to find an equalizer despite three close attempts by Porto’s Bruno Alves during the opening period.
Next for United are Arsenal as for the second consecutive year three English teams—Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal—advance to the Champions League semifinals.
Arsenal vs. Villarreal
Tied 1-1 on aggregate goals after the first leg of their Champions League match with Villarreal, the Arsenal squad understood the challenge ahead of them: win the second leg of the competition by one goal or more to advance to the Champions League semifinals.
In Arsenal’s favor was Emirates Stadium, The Gunner’s home pitch. With the home fans behind them, Arsenal quickly left little doubt regarding the match’s outcome.
Theo Walcott’s strike at the ten-minute mark put Arsenal ahead to stay. Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie added to the score sheet in the 60th and 69th minute marks respectively, leading Arsenal to a decisive 4-1 win on aggregate.
Coach Arsen Wenger’s young Arsenal team looked dangerous and confident in dispatching a formidable Villarreal squad, setting the stage for a semifinal clash with defending Champions League title holders, Manchester United.
The pending Manchester United v. Arsenal semifinal has many delicious subplots: Wenger’s ongoing rivalry with United’s iconic manager, Alex Ferguson and Arsenal’s youth and talent v. United’s experience and formidable squad of defending champions. Whoever should emerge victorious, it’s positioned to be a classic for football (soccer) fans around the world.
May the best team win….
