May 20

Wow. That's all I can say. There has been a lot of good sports on the past few months. From the Tourney, to the start of the MLB season, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs...wow. Tonight was no different. The Tigers beat the Rangers AGAIN after another great pitching performance from Justin Verlander, who went 6 innings, allowed 1 run, and struck out 8. Both him and Porcello have been on fire this month. Absolute fire. So that's 5 wins in a row, all at home, and 7 of the last 10. We go for the sweep tomorrow at 1:00 with Jackson on the mound. And during all of this, the rest of the AL Central have been faltering. I'll take it.

The big game of the night was the Cleveland/Orlando match-up. Wow. After leading throughout the entire game - by as much as 16 in the first half - the Cavs actually slipped up in the forth quarter. The final minute of this game was clutch shot after clutch shot from both teams. In the end, Rashard Lewis hit a 3 that ended up being a dagger as the Magic beat the Cavaliers by one point. This was Cleveland's first loss in these playoffs, and it was a hell of a game. Seriously, when the "blue guys" are hitting their 3's, they're the hardest team to defend in the NBA. It also helps that they have a player named Dwight Howard manning the post. Home court now goes to the Magic. Let's see if they take advantage.

Work was typical. Nothing too exciting, besides a nice lunch trip to the Meijer. I'll probably be finishing up a spot tomorrow...so that's cool. Got home, had an amazing dinner, and saw a couple good games. Not a bad way to end a night.

Also, Ryan VanLoon ended up stopping by early this morning and borrowing my camera for a radio shoot he had. From what I heard, everything went well, so that's good too. A lot of good today.

They will see us waving from such great heights,
B
