HAWKS WIN!

WOW! what a game and what a run it's been so far!!

the RED WING series had me groaning in agony before the BLACKHAWKS shoved it down detroit's throat three times in a row with the coup de gras being an overtime winner to send the wings packing.

AND NOW THIS SERIES.  saturday night was a special hockey game and for those who watched the entire 91+ minutes, it was high drama at it's very best with more twists & turns than a top rated soap opera and the near misses in overtime by both teams had me screaming bad words at the television. real bad words.

p.s.  WE FOUND PATRICK KANE!!!

the BOSTON BRUINS will give the hawks all they can handle but i like the hawks in six games.

the CUBS actually impressed me with their draft choice on thursday. third baseman KRIS BRYANT from san diego university is a monster power hitter who banged a homer every two games this year. bryant wasn't the popular choice but the boys in blue didn't want to take a chance on JONATHAN GRAY out of oklahoma who recently failed a drug test. the cubs have zero pitching in the minors but bryant could fill a position for the next ten years and make an impact very soon while pitchers take a few years to develop.

i still think STARLIN CASTRO will NOT be part of the rebuilding program and he'll be moved for pitching prospects.

can the SAN ANTONIO SPURS keep it up and dump the HEAT? they would put a smile on a lot of faces if they can. LEBRON might be the best player in the world but that team is made up of major league puds. look for one of the biggest puds, chris 'birdman' anderson to have negotiations with the BULLS when his contract with the heat expires next month. really.

the NBA will miss retiring commissioner DAVID STERN.

MLB will NOT miss retiring commissioner BUD SELIG.

SERENA WILLIAMS is the best female athlete in the world. period.

i hope RYAN BRAUN, ALEX RODRIGUEZ, et al, are all crushed with 100 game suspensions but i caution you on one aspect of the scandal: in a court, just because they had contact with TONY BOSCH doesn't mean they used steroids. now you & i both know they're dirty but you have to prove they USED steroids which normally takes a failed test. bosch turned witness for MLB in exchange for no litigation from the league so he obviously has something to gain.  bottom line? you say i juiced. now prove it with something other than finger pointing.

whew. more later.  GO HAWKS!
