NBA Finals, Yankees and Giants News, and Verlander's No-Hitter
Wednesday, June 13

Last night during Game 3 of the NBA finals, I had a continuing IM convo with my buddy Jim P. Here's some of the highlights....

Late 2nd quarter, Spurs tie up the game:

Jim: Cavs can't hang onto a lead
GWH: They suck.

Late 4th Quarter, Spurs up 5

GWH: Cavs are done [James misses a three]
Jim: That could have been huge.

Then Cavs hit a 3 and cut the lead to 2

GHW: YES!
Jim: Yes!!

Cavs have the ball, .58 seconds left

GWH: Don't let Varejao shoot
Jim: Nooooo

Varejao bricks. Cavs get the ball eventually with a chance to tie if they make a 3.

Jim: I bet they are drawing up Varejao for 3? AV3!
GWH: You got us here AV... atone for your mistake! If Mike Brown was caught on tape saying that, he would be applying for coaching Coastal Carolina next fall.

-Yanks are back on track after Abreu leads the charge of Arizona. After having to watch two mediocre King of Queens episodes during the rain delay, Yanks showed they are a force when on as the first inning was executed perfectly as a hit and run set up Abreu's 3-run shot. Okay Okay they are dominating NL teams at home, but with 4 solid starters (Wang, Moose, Clemens, and Pettitte) and Clippard and Hughes in the mix, along with Cairo, Posada, Cabrerra and Damon at DH, the Yanks seem to have a formula. This formula is good starting pitching, great role players, and a chemistry that is part winning/part optomism which seems to be back in the clubhouse as the Yanks came back to .500.

- Giants News:

FB Jim Finn had surgery to repair a torn right labrum. This is his third surgery on this shoulder and he also suffers from major arthritus in the same shoulder. He should be out for at least 3 months.

Strahan is very optomistic for this season. He says 07 should be among his best ever. He is also dating Eddie Murray's ex-wife (actor, not the baseball HOFer).

Burress is taking it easy during manditory mini-camp as he continues to rest his surgically cleaned-out ankle.

Amani Toomer is back on the field after ACL repair.

Jessie Armstead signed a 1-day contract with the Gmen and retired with his team of 9 years.

K Lawrence Tynes was excused from camp after his wife was expecting twins. I guess she didnt have them, or had something unexpected??

Here's what Coughlin said about first-round draft pick CB Aaron Ross from Texas : "I see the reason we drafted him, he’s strong, long arms. He’s going against these guys every day now. He’s playing the up position, the press position and the off position. He’s working his way with it. He’s doing well" (Giants.com)

On Mathias Kiwanuka being moved to LB from DE, both Coughlin and DE lines coach Mike Waufle said it improves their front seven as it allows for Strahan, Osi Umenyiora, Robbins, and Coefield to be in front, which still is strong.

Detroit's Justin Verlander threw a no-hitter for the Tigers against one of baseball's best teams, the Milwakee Brewers last night. Most impressive was that he was throwing 102 in the 9th inning. Watching highlights of the game, I've never seen a more dominant late game performance, as his curveball looked it knew when to dip down and his fastball was not only tailing flames, but it was impossible for leftys to touch as it moved away deceptively out of the zone.

Predictions for the Open this weekend:

The "sexy pic" besides el tigre is PA native Jim Furyk, with his ugly face trumped by his ugly swing. I'm going with Retief Goosen.

MLS Action. The lamest free kick of all time


Dude lands once punch, and it gets the job done.

PR Day Parade and Sopranos
Monday, June 11

-The GWH and fuzzy byskitz went hard on those boriquas this week as the irishman from the BX and the russian jew from alexandria were puerto ricans for the weekend. Here's a quick synopsis of what went down..

-Saturday night, the GWH arrived early for the Miguel Cotto/Zab Judah fight at the Garden. He went hard on that patron (no homo) in the pregame and then sat around the garden waiting for the byskitz and his two homeboys from BK. Outside were the girls of Larry Flint's Hustler Club promoting the setup on the West Side Hwy. Lets just say you couldn't combine all 10 of those girls to make a dimepiece. Mad wack.

-The fight was stupid awesome. First off, the Garden was packed with everyone reppin PR (the home of Miguel Cotto), so BK native Zab Judah had no chance in winning over the crowd. Not to mention that before the fight, he said that after he beat Cotto, he would wear his puerto rican sash on the float in the parade the next day. Judah got knocked out in the 11th round sending the crowd into a frenzy.

-The ladies at the garden looked nice. It was like they was all dressin for the club. More ass than a toilet seat.

-Sunday concluded the festivities with the Puerto Rican Day Parade. The highlight came in the first 5 minutes when the GWH met Ed Lover and DJ Clue from Power 105. Ed asked him where he was reppin, and GWH responded "Bronx." Ed asked a follow up... "what part?" and when the GWH stated "Riverdale", the morning show host said "haha of course."

Sopranos

-Okay here's the deal. If you said the last episode was gayer than a teacup terrier, you are kind of wrong, respectfully. The whole show's premise over the run was about his family, and the mob was always secondary. If you expected mass bloodshed and Tony to get wacked you were going to be dissapointed. The producer used that scenario the past episode. The ending of the show depicted the audience getting whacked, as everything actually did come to a close. AJ and Meadow were finding their nitches, while Tony was going to face the inevitable RICO trial and Paulie was promoted.

-The biggest disspointemnet I felt was the unwarranted "N" for nudity before the show started. There were hardly any boobs in this episode. There should have been a "BN" for brief nudity, as to not confuse me or any other immature viewers scouting for full fruntal with the TiVo remote after the completion of the episode as if I missed some bush.
