Amber Lancaster would like us to guess. Um, delicious? I'm gonna go with delicious.The Tigers lost their seventh straight game last night, 5-3 to the Yankees. The answer, of course, is bringing Scott Sizemore back up and sending Will Rhymes down. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact the Tigers "ace" can't get through the sixth inning without throwing 200 pitches. Or maybe it's the shit-tastic lineup. Or maybe the shit-tastic bullpen. Ya know, maybe this team is just shitty. But, as the headline says, the Giants lost seven in a row last year. But that's just a sentence on a blog, and it has absolutely nothing to do with this shitty baseball team. (DetNews)
Jesus, I hate it when I agree with Drew Sharp. But he's right, the Wings have to do a better job of keeping the Sharks off of Jimmy Howard, and at the same time, do a better job of getting up in Antti Niemi's grill. Something needs to happen to change the tone of this series, and it could start there. I'm telling you, Niemi is there for the taking, and once the Wings start taking, things could change. Of course, in order to get traffic in front of the goaltender, you need to not be pinned in your own zone by the other team's constant pressure. That's kind of a big deal. (Freep)
The Boston Bruins look pretty damn good right now, and there's definitely not a goaltender in these playoffs playing as well as Tim Thomas. David Krejci's goal in overtime gave them a 2-0 lead over the Flyers after two games in Philadelphia. Of course, the Bruins took a 3-0 lead on the Flyers last year before losing in seven games. There's no way that happens two years in a row, though, right? (Boston.com)
Two upsets last night in the NBA Playoffs, as the Atlanta Hawks took out the Chicago Bulls -- who had an even scarier moment when Derrick Rose tweaked his ankle on the final play of the game -- and the Dallas Mavericks took Game 1 in Los Angeles. The Chicago game featured this incredible moment from Blackhawks anthem singer Jim Cornelison. Of course, what we've all learned from the first two days of the second round, is that the Heat are going to win it all, and that sucks. (Ball Don't Lie, ESPN)
I did a lot of reading yesterday about the bin Laden capture, and this was the best thing I came across. I was trying to figure out what the feeling would be like watching your troops go on a mission to kill the No. 1 terrorist target in the world, and, surprisingly, I had nothing that compared. The closest thing I could think of was watching the Wings in overtime. That's the only thing that has all that build up with an end that provides an instant finality. Of course, we're working on a giant fucking scale here, but that's all I've got. (NY Times)
This girl is incredible (see about 1:15 for the amazingness):
