“They were the second best team at the park and that’s because the rain scared away that Little League team that was planning to attend.”

Brutal, but very funny.

And no, I didn’t watch the Heat — because I can’t stand basketball, it’s the reverse of soccer, too much scoring. You run up the court and score two, then the other team does the same and with 100 points per team each scoring play is that much reduced.

[4] I think he hides behind “making the right basketball play” as a way to avoid taking the crucial shots. The “right basketball play” is the one that wins the game, and that means he’s got to be shooting at least some of the time. At this point, other teams have to know he’s not taking the last shot.

I’m thinking someone really needs to get in LeBron’s face or have a man-to-man talk with him about that. Never mind the conflicting reports from media types or the fickle fans, be real and tell him it’s time to man up; forget about hurting Wade’s feelings if that’s what it’s about. I’d rather see LeBron go down swinging than to stand by or pass away the winning shot that never happens.

Bunch of missed free throws by both teams in the Heat game down the stretch. But down by two–or was it three–with less than 20 seconds left, James had the ball in his hands twice and gave it up, once to Battier beyond the arc, the next time to Wade, who drove to the basket and had his shot blocked.

I woke up at a reasonably early hour here on the Left Coast and tuned in to foxsoccer.tv for the last 25+ minutes of the Man U vs Sunderland match, totally long enough to register the fact that City were going to completely biff the final match and United were going to capture another crown and then watch the celebration turn to incredulous disbelief on SAF’s face when City scored 2 utterly improbable and near impossible goals in extra time.

Then, because I can’t currently get ESPN3.com (which showed City vs QPR), I decided to drive 80+ miles round trip to watch a replay of the City v QPR match with a EPL-following friend of mine, already knowing the ultimate outcome, simply because I needed to pictures to witness what I knew had already transpired …

I did not know about the Heat game until I read this recap. Lebron’s late game disappearing acts are becoming all too familiar it seems. That’s a shame. I’d like to see the Heat bow out this round. Also, I’ll take a boring Yankees loss over any soccer game thank you very much. I’ve put forth many valiant attempts to feign interest and I can’t even come close. Oh, and I can’t believe how much I miss Brett Gardner.
