When goal number three bounced off Jose Theodore's back I thought we were good to go. In 2003 I saw a playoff game that Dallas lost in OT. Marty allowed the tying shot with under a minute left and then again two minutes into overtime. 2004 the same thing in Game 4 4/14th. Monday night took five minutes of OT before Joe Sakic deflected the winner into the net. Talk about a solar plexus shot to the gut! Damn!
As long as Bobby Jackson and Eddie Jones can sink the threes, Memphis can make this an interesting series. There's just no way they'll keep up with the tempo of the Mavericks. Once it gets going it is fun to watch. Mav fans can also rejoice and think back to a win against this very team two months ago after trailing by 19...Pao Gasol looks injured. I don't see it in his eye...So glad Devin Harris is back. As Erik Dampier goes so go the Mavericks from where I sit..
Yesterday saw Kevin Mench adjust his shoe size and have a three hit night highlighted by a grand salami...Michael Young goes five for five to raise his batting average to .394! For a guy who is so under the radar, Young is the man! Kameron Loe had problems with location. Aberration and not the norm. Rheinecker shall debut later today against the Devil Rays...
This is a fun time of the year for me, albeit a bit maddening. All the media pundits were yakking about how the Dallas Stars would probably play a Friday/Sunday combination of home games against the Colorado Avalanche this weekend. Then NBC had to step in and screw that up! Saturday at 2 pm then games 2-7 if needed every other day in a 2-2-1-1-1 format.
I was in Costa Mesa a newlywed and if anything was shaking...it wasn't from the earthquake(ahem!). Back to that 1906 event, it was reported that the night before the tragedy, singer Enrico Caruso was performing downtown and got a rude awakening. Caruso vowed to 'never play there again'...
