It's Been a Long Time....

I'm back to the blogosphere!!!  Call it a month long writer's block, but after some time away I am lucid and ready to rock.  Here's my list for this week.  

1.  I actually took batting practice at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Saturday.  While I doubt Jon Daniels is working up a contract for me, I held my own.  It's quite an experience.  Great day all the way around.

2.  The Mavs better get with it.  The Blazers were the trendy pick to win this series.  And now we can all see why.  Portland plays great at home, and unless the mummy of Jason Kidd has his full powers, the Mavs don’t seem to have their best foot forward.  Memo to Dirk and the gang- WHEN YOU HAVE A 20 POINT LEAD, DON’T LET UP.

3.  The Spurs are in trouble too.  I guess you could say they are showing their age, but to me that is just an excuse for not playing well.  And it shows you how important a player Manu Ginobili is.  

4.  The NFL draft is this week.  Usually I have a good handle on who is going where and why.  But sans free agency, I really have no idea.  I’ll give you a mock draft on Thursday morning.  Promise.  I will not promise that it will be any kind of accurate.

5. The Red Sox are slowly putting it together.  Watch out.  I never had any doubts.  And by never, I mean constantly.  I still have doubts.  That’s my life.  But still, watch out.
6. I am  sorry to see that adult film star and Charlie Sheen “goddess” Bree Olson has ended her relationship with Sheen.  If those two crazy kids and another woman with Daddy issues can’t make it, what hope do the rest of us have?
7. It’s almost summer movie season.  My favorite time of the entertainment year.  Lots of big budget stuff coming out.  I could do without another Transformers movie.  I just don’t care anymore.
8. Steve Carrell’s last episode of The Office is on Thursday.  I am sad to see him go and I hope the show can carry on without him.  Will Ferrell has been good, but he’s not a full time guy for the show.  
9. Sports Show with Norm MacDonald is hilarious.  Classic Norm.  I have been a  fan of his for a long time, so make your own decision. Take a look for yourself.
10. Can we please get some rain in Central Texas?  I have forgotten what it even looks like.

That is all.

P.S.  Email me at paul@1660espn.com and be part of the weekly drawing for 2 Schilterbahn tickets!  I'll pick a winner towards the end of the week.  Just put Schilterbahn tickets in the subject line.
