Semi-Final Week

Two of the Big Four sports (although decidedly the #3 & #4 of the Big Four) are in the midst of their respective semi-final rounds. In both cases (Basketball and Hockey, in case you live in a cave in Africa with no link to the outside world other than this blog), the semis are looking like a case of the haves and the have-nots.

It's down to four now. Four teams, one dream - the NBA Championship. As I write this, the Boston Celtics have already upset the favored Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

MLB Report
by Ronald A. Rowe May 3rd, 2010 | Baseball, MLB
Major League Baseball is back. Has been for a while, actually, but with the NFL draft and March Madness and NASCAR, I haven't had a chance to say much about America's Pastime yet this year.
Twenty-five games into the season, nobody would be surprised that the best record in the majors (17-8) belongs to a team in the AL East.
