THEY SHOULD SIT COLE HAMELS DOWN FOR THE SEASON

Hitting Bryce Harper deliberately is sick. I think the problem lies in the fact that they are the new kids in first place, displacing the so-called city of Brotherly Love or whatever the crap is they try to sell in Philadelphia.  Bryce Harper is the future of Baseball and the future of the Hall of Fame maybe someday, and to deliberately try to hit him is insane, moronic and criminal.

Is it bad enough the New Orleans Saints have resorted to such lowlife tendencies, now the Phillies! If you can’t stand the competition, especially when it is better than you, then get out of the sport and go away.

The shame of it all is they are ruining the game, the integrity and the beauty of a perfect game, with greed and jealousy in the likes of Cole Hamel.

"That's something I grew up watching, that's kind of what happened. So I'm just trying to continue the old baseball because I think some people are kind of getting away from it. I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn't say anything because that's the way baseball is," Hamels said.

Yes people are getting away from it, it’s stupid, stupid!

# 1 SEED GETTING PLANTED?

Can it be? The Chicago Bulls face elimination in the first round of the playoffs? The #1 team, the best of the NBA going home early! The Philadelphia 76er’s hold a 3-1 lead in the series, and from what we see, the Bulls are a beaten team.

Very few teams have come back from 3-1 deficits, and with Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah down, two of their leaders, the season seems like it is over, but sometimes, when things are desperate, someone steps up and rallies the team, then dissolves into the background once again.

If the Bulls are going to be champions, they need their bench to step up. With all due respect to the 76er’s, they should be able to overcome this and continue in the playoffs.

BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO PHOENIX…

It was all over, and the Nashville Predators were out looking in at Phoenix as celebrated their first playoff win in franchise history! With time running out in Game 5, the Coyotes leading 2-1 with an empty Predators' net, Shea Weber fired the puck into the Phoenix end!  Instead what happened is Mike Smith: trapped, dropped it to the ice, and fired back out to center ice, over the neutral zone and towards the empty net.

It missed wide by less than a foot! Mike Smith made 32 saves in Game 5 win and was already the game's first star.

So congratulations to a franchise that had a lot of growing pains, but they have arrived with their first round playoff victory!

That’s all I wrote, folks!
