Uh oh.

It is starting to sink in that there is nothing going on in the sports world that I even remotely care about except for Baseball. It is still a long way until football and the drama of the NBA draft and a .500 Giants squad just can not satisfy my sports cravings. This is trouble. I may have to resort to actually (gasp) playing a sport for the next several weeks. I'm beginning to sweat and get back spasms just thinking about how I'm going to endure this dry spell.

Someone in the NBA better make a big trade soon or I'm going to go nuts.

Clint, good to have you back. Looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

Unless, of course, you disagree with me.

Everytime I think about playing a sport I go lay down. The only time that is a problem is when I forget to locate the remote first. I have been a Giants fan for some time, but there for awhile (8 years in Everett, WA) I gave the Mariners a shot, and outside of a couple of years of some success I thought that was a way to go. Then the really bad year. Then another. The 49ers are another story. Living in 49er country for years, and all those championships. Well, it has been brutal.

1989 seems like ages ago. 1989...the Battle of the Bay
San Francisco Giants vs Oakland A's...the earthquake series. Got the sweatshirt hanging on the wall outside my office door.

Basketball...don't care. Lost me years ago.

Aussie rules football....now there's a sport. Hitting..and no helmets.

SOME PLAYOFF OBSERVATIONS I just took a welcomed brake from preparing for trial to watch the Miami v. Detroit game 3. Obviously this was a huge game for Miami and the next one is just as big, but I’m not chiming in to break down the game, but rather to offer a few observations about both the series going on right now. 1. Why do Antoine Walker’s coaches allow him to shoot so many 3s? If I were coaching him, I would tell him that if he ever shot a 3 that wasn’t wide, wide open or if his 3 to drive ratio fell below 5-1, he would sit the bench. Walker is an incredibly talented player and when he attacks the rim both he and the Heat are a much, much, much better team. When you play defense like a matador, you better do more than just miss a bunch of 3s on the other end. He was great tonight just because he took the ball in. It’s not complicated, so why is it so inconsistent? 2. What happened to Gary Payton? He was one of my favorite players for years and years after leaving OSU and playing ...

More Yi

Following up on yesterday's post, I just found out that Yi will likely be left off the All-Star ballot. Apparently, the NBA is just as sure as I am about what would happen if he was. It seems a pretty transparent move given that high profile rookies generally make the ballot. I bet Durant will be on there. Yi is about as high profile as anyone and has actually been playing as well as any rookie, so leaving him off the ballow would make a statement. I will be very curious to see the ballot because in years past there has been a place to write in votes. Is it really that hard to imagine half of the people who watched Yao v. Yi would write in Yi's name? If that happens, he will be a starter. I might have to come off my "it's an absolute lock" prediction, but I still think it will happen.
