On the way to work, I usually listen to sports talk radio. I like to get caught up on scores from the night before and see what people are talking about. Sports talk radio is funny. People seem to think that their opinions matter, as though the GM from whatever franchise they're railing about is on the other end of the phone and WILL make changes based upon their feelings on this topic or that. I hope getting that load off of your chest made you feel better, Mr. Caller, because that would be the only positive outcome of your call, thanks for playing!
In any case, the concensus right now seems to be that the Rockets are finished. They've lost the first two games of their playoff series with Utah and now must travel to Utah for the next two. I'd be inclined to agree, but I think they've basically played over their heads for the last several months anyway and that, with no presence in the middle once Yao Ming went down, they've essentially been done since that pivotal injury. Perhaps they'll dig deep and force a fifth game in Houston, but the number of teams (whole teams at that!) who've recovered from a 2-0 deficit can be counted without removing shoes! The team's poised to make a deep run next year if the wheels don't fall off again, but they're pretty much done for this season.
Meanwhile, my beloved Reds are struggling (again!) under new manager Dusty Baker. After a hot start and some surprising starting pitching, I thought they may actually challenge the Cubs for the Central Division this year. At this point, I'm glad I didn't spring for "MLB Season Ticket" again - I wouldn't enjoy watching anyway!
Well, that's all for now. - Dan
