Reveille

Cavaliers 112  Magic 102:  I knew LeBron wouldn’t go out like that.  I knew LeBron would have a big game.  I knew facing elimination he would stand up and be recognized.  Last night, LeBron stood up like only four other players in NBA history have stood up before him.  Last night, LeBron James had thirty-seven big points.  Last night, LeBron James had fourteen big rebounds.  Last night, LeBron James had twelve big assists.  Only Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, James Worthy and Gary Payton had a 30/10/10 game for the winning side when their team could be eliminated from the postseason.  The question is, can he do it again?  And again?  I say yes.       

Orioles 5  Tigers 1:  That’s life, that’s what all the people say.  You’re riding high in April, shot down in May.  Armando Galarraga was riding high in April.  Armando Galarraga has been shot down in May.  Galarraga went 0-5 in May after ending April 3-0.  Over the last twenty seasons the only other pitcher to go 3-0 or better in April and 0-5 or worse in May was Carlos Silva for the Mariners last season.  Galarraga is the first Tigers pitcher to do that.

Red Sox 3  Twins 1:  Josh Beckett pitched his 100th game for the Red Sox yesterday.  Josh Beckett struck out eight batters yesterday.  Hooray Josh Beckett!  That gives him 583 in his first 100 starts for Boston.  For Boston, for Boston, thy glory is our own.  for Boston, for Boston ’tis here that truth is known.  Truth is, among the fifty other players who have made 100 or more starts for the Red Sox, the only ones with as many strikeouts through 100 starts are Pedro Martinez (a whopping 937) and Roger Clemens (650).  How about that?

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!
