That game made me so very sad. The Tigers were just the worst for the last 10 games.
The Twins saved the one of the best games I've ever seen for the last regular season game at the Dome. Good luck Yanks fans. I can't wait.
Hilarious hi-lights from a BBC broadcast of a Bulls-Jazz game.
Apparently Larry Bird was shorter than 5'11

What was the best concert you've been to?
-- Probably Sade. It was just so sexy and relaxing.
I never knew John Amaeche was British!
He gets that a lot; he's just gay.

From Marc Stein's ESPN column:
Amare Stoudemire says that it's sufficiently invigorating for him to be back at work with another chance to remind the NBA that no one in this league recovers from major injuries like he does.

I want to watch all Bulls games like this. Neil Funk is a snooze.
Can't help but be reminded by this:

Did anyone see the coin toss for the Broncos-Patriots overtime? There is a gelatinous New England lineman, so round it seems impossible, and he was there at midfield. He was still so out of breath from playing he was pulling down on the front of his shoulder pads to try and get a deep breath. And all I could think of was that fat Last Comic Standing contestant who does the joke, People are always, Why are you breathing so hard? Cuz I'm tryin' to live!

I won't even look for a clip of that toss, as the real thing could never be as funny as this description of it.

It time to bring this back to basketball chat.
I must admit, despite the deification of Kobe Bryant, I really liked the NBA 2K10 commercial, specifically reference to Benny The Bull's trigger finger.

Just watched the Lakers and Clippers:
Griffin is a physical marvel. He brought the ball up very quickly against Jordan Farmar once. I didn't know about his ball-handling skills.
Baron, for the first time in his NBA career, looks like he has finally lost his freshman 15 from UCLA. He looks thin.
A story line that will get written a lot about this season will be, Oh, sure, we've all heard about Blake Griffin, but the pickup of Rasual Butler is why people are talking about the Clippers competing for a playoff spot.

I watched some Lakers preseason bball over the weekend too, and I have to say, maybe it's just the yellow uni, but Artest looks enormous! And did Sasha bulk up? Did Phil cancel training camp in favor of tough guy school this year?
Oh, basketball season is coming ... I actually went to the Lakers-Warriors preseason game last weekend (I was in LA), and ... well, I don't think I'll ever go to another preseason game again. Especially on a Friday night.
It was fun to see the Lakers in person, though. And was my first trip to the Staples Center.
I'm not sure that Artest has bulked up, only because he's always been huge. My first thought when watching the Rumble at the Palace was, "Holy shit, Artest is significantly thicker than Ben Wallace." I looked into it and found that Artest was walking at 265-270 at the time. That is just huge.
I, too, have always had a little soft spot in my heart for the Clippers (I think its because they drafted my favorite player ever, Danny Manning), and I, too, am extremely impressed by Blake Griffin (I think he's going to be really, really good, at least). However, I can not imagine the Clippers winning more than 33 games this year.
I think the difference in our opinions boils down to our opinions of Boom Dizzle. I don't trust the guy at all. At all. I'm not convinced he's going to show up ready to play every night, dedicated to the Clippers. If he does, you may be right. But I'll believe it when I see it.
Putting in time in the summer and losing weight is a very good sign, but the scars from last year are just too much -- I have never seen a player mail in a season so obviously.
(Vince Carter clears his throat loudly). Umm.. I'm right over here...
The Clippers will improve, but be passed on the playoff depth chart by OKC. Everything points to Durant having a monster year and taking the next gigantic step.
Also, confirming my belief that Stephon Marbury is the real life Tracey Jordan, I read on ESPN's ticker that he's 'shutting it down' this year. Coincidentally right after it became crystal clear that no team is dumb enough to sign him 'cause he crazy as fuck.

I hope Joe Girardi will take off his smarty pants and put on his "leave things well enough alone" slacks for game four.
(Edit - Joe Girardi is not the new Raptors forward acquired from the Italian league)
Ugh, Dodgers...
