Reveille

Hawks 90  Heat 64:  Like Coach Norman Dale always says, “Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit.  Team, team, team.  No one more important that the other.”  Last night, the Hawks got double-digit scoring from all five of their starters in their victory over the Heat.  How about that?  Al Horford:  “It was everybody stepping up when we needed to step up.  That’s the kind of total team effort we know it’s going to take to keep playing.”  You got that right, Al. 

Devils 3  Hurricanes 2:  Hey, you gotta let them know you’re out there, this is the playoffs.  You know, support the team.  Zach Parise let them know he was out there.  Zach Parise supported his team.  Zach Parise supported his team with a goal in each of the first three games against these Hurricanes.  El Diablo!  Dios mio!  El Diablo!  Only once before did a Devils player score goals in each of the team’s first three games of a playoff year.  By whom you ask?  That would be Zach Parise.  That would be Zach Parise back in 2007, when he scored in each of the first four games of New Jersey’s opening-round series against Tampa Bay.

Phillies 5  Padres 4:  Just another walk-off in the park for Raul Ibanez.  Yesterday, Ibanez hit a two-run bomb in the bottom of the ninth inning for the winner winner chicken dinner.  That was Ibanez’s fifth career walkoff bomb, having previously hit three for the Mariners and one for the Royals.  For those of you keeping score at home, eleven other active players have hit game-ending bombs for three different clubs; but only Haverhill, Mass’ own Carlos Pena has done so with four different teams.  (Athletics, Tigers, Red Sox and Rays)

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
