What a great lax game between 'Cuse & NC.

 

After being 9-9 in the 4th, NC went up 12-9 w/ about 5 left to play. 'Cuse scored the last 3 of the 4th to send it to OT w/ a freshman, Brendan Curry, scoring the last 2. Brendan Curry is Todd Curry's kid.

 

Off a timeout in OT, Bomberry scored. 'Cuse (4-0 in the ACC 2 years in a row) will be the 1 seed in the ACC 4 team tournament.

 

NC's ACC hopes are on life support now.

I cannot watch Sonny Gray pitch. While I don't hate the man, I do hate the pitcher. He's a human rain delay. It's just awful! THROW IT! GET THE BALL AND THROW IT!!

 

Jesus Christ! He's like a slower Clay Buchholz.

Something that bugs me in baseball: when fans boo the first pickoff attempt. Don’t boo the first throw over. Don’t boo the second for that matter. Boo your little heart out for the 5th or 6th pickoff throw of the at bat. But a pickoff is a legitimate baseball play!!

The Raptors dispatched the Wizards last night.

 

They will face the winner of a game 7 showdown between the Pacers and LeBron.

 

So, it is very likely that the Raptors will face LeBron in the second round again this playoff.  LeBron is LeBron, but I think the Raptors will be better prepared, especially mentally and their bench, this time around.  I predict, if they do end up playing LeBron, the Raptors beat LeBron in 6 games.

A real barn burner going on in Cleveland.  LeBron leads the Pacers by 1 nearing the end of the third.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Well, the Raptors get LeBron.  Again.

 

I think the Raptors win this time around.

Go Cavs, I say halfheartedly as someone that doesn't care much about basketball.

I'm with you on this. Which sucks too because he's young and our rotation is not great

 

Still, better than Tyler Clippard

 

9 in a row for the Yankees!!

I mean, the Red Sox ARE the Yankees and have been for almost fifteen years...

The red Sox wish they were the Yankees

For no real reason I watched some archery on Saturday.  ...then I quickly realized what a fantastically boring spectator sport archery is.    ;)

LeBron is schooling the Raptors.  Yet again.

Indiana really blew the opportunity to knock him out.

I say 5 6 11 exata box

I meant 5, 7, 11

The curse of Apollo is broken. Justify wins the derby after not racing as a 2 year old.

Evidently I'm the only one that gives a rats ass about the most famous horse race in the world.

This is the problem. I don't think this country has cared about horse racing since the 80s.

Horse racing, boxing, MMA.  These are sports about which I don't understand why people care.

Triple G with the 2nd round KO last night. He was straight hitting Vanes with cinder blocks to the face. That was a beat down.

I gave one, but only because I wanted to resurrect the Sabre-themed horses thread. But I didn't want to enough to actually do it.

Go Yankees!

Ya buddy! Last time we won 14 of 15 games was 1998, went on to win 114 games, and the 1st of 3 straight world series!!! Pulled from a the score article

 

Go Yankees!!

Another huge win. 3 run walk off bomb by Torres, after German had a no hitter through 6 in his first start. This team is the real deal.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

It's only May.  Lets see what happens in October.

 

+++++

 

The Raptors dominated in the regular season.  Everyone, including me, had high hopes that this would be the year that the beat LeBron.  NOT HAPPENING!!
