If Dirk gets double teamed and Jason Kidd has the freedom to pass and guard, my guess is that it won't matter what Tim Duncan, Manu, and Tony Parker do. I do worry about what Mr. Jefferson does when things get down and dirty in the paint. To the Spurs credit, they are like an angry mosquito. Always nearby and ready to bite. Keep things close.
Phil is a classy guy. Who better to win a major tournament after all the crap we had to read and hear about since Thanksgiving? Lee Westwood will be asking 'what if' after his scary run after Amen Corner. A 3rd major in six years after none for 14, there's no substitute.
Cameras rolled at 6:59 am. Roughly three minutes of fireworks before the implosion began. It took all of 29 seconds. To see the rubble that remained brought back Seattle memories. So much so I may have to pull my Kingdome pics out of the archive box.
Also recall that in 2009 under Mike Maddux's watch, the team ERA for the Rangers pitching fell by a full run. It's only one week but your Texas Rangers currently have a team ERA of 1.76 amongst the starters. That number is likely to rise as the summer heats up but this does bode well in terms of hammering your pitches at the plate. Here's hoping Matt Harrison continues this trend.
Call me off base, call me left of center, call me crazy. At one point during an intermission I did an interview with CBS 11s Bill Jones. I stated that Mike, like Brett Favre, will have second thoughts about leaving the game. He will want to come back. I am of the opinion that he still has it despite the given that he's been grooming Jamie Benn.
