Bruins win game 7 and advance

2013/05/bruins_win_game_7_in_ot_after_wild_rally
     The Boston Bruins had a 3-1 series choke hold on the Toronto Maple Leafs, but then Toronto came back and forced a game 7 in Boston. The Bruins were down 4-1 in the 3rd, but made a miraculous comeback, and forced OT. Patrice Bergeron had 2 goals including the game winner in OT and 1 assist for the Bruins.

Grizzlies and Heat Win

Both the Grizzlies and the Heat won last night to go up 3-1 in there series lead. First the Grizzlies beat the Thunder in OT 103-97. Mike Conley, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph all scored over 23 points while Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol combined for 23 points. On the East side the Heat wiped out the Bulls 88-65 on Chicago's home court. Surprisingly the Heat only had one scorer over 15 points and Dwayne Wade only had 6 points.

Harper Hurt

Yesterday Outfielder Bryce Harper of the Nationals got hurt in a wall collision. Harper is receiving 11 stitches in his chin and also jammed his right shoulder. This is a pretty bad injury but he won't miss too much time if any.

NBA Playoffs tight series


     Last night the Spurs lost to Golden State in OT. The Spurs were 0-7 with a turnover through the first 3 minutes of OT, and they let the game slip away. Manu contributed well with 21 off the bench, but no one else of the San Antonio bench did much of anything. Harrison Barnes and Jarrett Jack each stepped up last night. Barnes had 26 points and Jack had 24, together the two kept GSW in the game.

Will the Brewers finish over .500?

Will the Brewers finish over .500? Will they make the playoffs? Will they stay healthy? Will Corey Hart and Mat Gamel make an impact once back? I will answer all of those and more. I think they will finish barely under .500, their worst possible record being 65-97, and at best probably around 88-74. With that said, I think we will probably miss the playoffs, but we might just sneak into the final wildcard spot. Will they stay healthy? I can't really answer this question but I think we will probably suffer 1 major injury to someone like Braun or Gallardo, and 1 more not as big, like a Rickie Weeks or Willy Peralta. I think Corey Hart will impact some but not a ton. He will probably bat about .275 with 18 home runs over the last 100 games. Mat  Gamel won't impact us and lose his starting job after 10 games.  Will John Axford pick it up? I don't think so. I have no reason to believe he will, and because he didn't do well at the last season either. Lastly, even though this is way down the road, I think the Brewers will sign someone like Matt Garza or maybe Josh Johnson(both free agents) at the end of the season.

MLB Leaders

With MLB Baseball One Month into the season I think it's time to decide whether or not the people that are leading the league in the stats below are Legit  Meaning they keep up the work and have a successful season even if they don't league in the category- or a Fluke- Meaning that this is only a coincedence and they won't even keep a good start going and just bomb the rest of the season.
NL Batting Average Leader: Carlos Gomez MIL .364. Legit- The Only reason that I am saying this is not a fluke is because he showed signs of doing this last year. He won't be hitting as high as he is now but at the end of the year I think he will be hitting around .315 BA.
AL Batting Average Leader: Miguel Cabrera .385 Legit- This guy is on fire, he is showing people that he was meant to have that triple crown last year and he might have a chance at it this year the way he has been hitting. And at the end of the year I think he will end up hitting around .335

Roy Halladay the once Ace pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies will under go surgery to "clean out" his pitching shoulder. He said that if he needed surgery that he would retire  but I don't believe it. He should be back sometime this year hopefully and be able to play out the season. Roy Halladay has an 8.94 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP which is among the worst in the league. Maybe after this surgery he come back to be the Ace we all know.

Ferguson Done at MU

Alex Ferguson the manager of Manchester United has called it quits after over 25 years as head of the most successful soccer club in history. He lead the club to a .750 winning percentage and 4 Fa cup titles. He will be remembered as one of the best managers in soccer history.
