Upon Still Being Here

Slacked off a bit again...Oh Well.

Last week the Yankees tied a record for one of their largest comebacks in franchise history. After Chacon and Small put them in a 9-0 hole by the second inning, the Yankees clawed back to 10-2, then eventually took an 11-10 lead, fell behind 12-11, and finally won 13-11 on a two-out walk-off home run by Posada. Posada also earned some gut-check points by getting drilled at home on a play at the plate and holding on to the ball. Just a damn good game to watch overall.

The first round of the Subway Series went to the Mets, but this was hardly the Yankees true team. The best game of the weekend was on Saturday with a 4-run comeback in the 9th off Billy Wagner. 3 close games, Unit still looks lost, Mussina is still the staff ace. Starting up 3 tonight in Boston (you know, games that really matter).

The East Finals are set in the NBA, with Miami taking on Detroit as may predicted. However, no one expected the Cavs to push the Series with the Pistons 7 games, and you could argue that Cleveland should have won after going up 3-2 headed back home for game 6 (which they lost by just 2) I think the league sat up and took notice of what the Cavs did, and that Pat Riley has a great blueprint for how to exploit a very vulnerable looking Pistons squad.

Out West, the match-ups look to be a push, as I could wake up tomorrow and not be suprised to see that the Spurs/Mavs and Clippers/Suns had advanced. I will pull for the Clippers and Mavs, but I won't be watching. Why....

"the following takes place between 5 AM, and 6 AM"

The 2-hour finale of 24 is tonight, and we have some loose strings to tie up. Not the most climactic ending of the series, but there are definately some answers coming. I'll be tuned in, with the recall button on Yankees/Sox.

I can now cross another place off of the list of places I've always wanted to go thanks to this weekend's trip to the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Good room, good games, good time.
