Bullshiznitz

The same place future HOF Sosa was, at home.

Selig's a moron and theres no arguing that. The whole selection process has been flawed, but its really evident this year with the whole # of pitchers needed. Lance Carter was bad enough, but Mike Williams, who posseses and ERA over 6.00 is just riduculous. Willis from the Marlins got absolutely robbed. On the Sosa note, I dont believe he should have made it. I was glad that Pujols finally got some respect and voted in as a starter (though it is a little fishy that he jumped from 4 to 1 in OF voting in one week). Sosa, because of injury and suspension doesnt have the greatest numbers at this point. I believe the ALLSTAR game should be based on merit that year, not on past performance.

Just another reason to hate the Lakers

It is without a doubt the most boring style of hockey ever played. Unfortunately it works(two stanley cups in last 7 years). I just hope the Lightning stop giving Jersey sooo much respect and start punching people in the mouth, otherwise this will be a very short series.

Jersey will be a very tough series. It will be a matchup of two of the best goalies again - Brodeur v Khabibulin. Jersey has owned the Lightning in years past but the Bolts were 1-1-2 verse them this year. If the Bulin Wall continues to play standing on his head, and if this young team can continue to build confidence (four straight wins now is a good start), then they'll make it tough on the Devils. Being an optimist I'll go with Lightning in SIX.

What a freakin game. Talk about two goalies standing on the heads. ****, thought it might never end. The Bulin Wall had 60 SAVES! Bring on the Devils. Round Two starts Thursday at New Jersey. GO LIGHTNING! 12 more wins til the Cup is in Tampa

I'll take (however being a poor graduating college student with no job yet, it will have to be something like a 12 pack for the BULLS opener next year). I believe Lightning will finish it off today, and send the CAPS to their 4th 2 game lead they've blown since '92. And honestly, laughing at hockey in Tampa. The Caps have some of the most apathetic fans in hockey- evidenced by their last home crowd.

Just thinking, with no obvious immediate needs for the BUCS, what will they do with that second round pick. With the signing of the two OL as well as Oben, the O-line isnt in as bad as shape as first thought (especially with the way they started playing towards the end of the season), with Rudd replacing Singleton (a very nice upgrade), with Booger being back and healthy --- the only needs I see are a speed receiver with return capabilities, added secondary depth (departure of Jackson as well as legal matters now with Smith), and some OL depth still. However most of that can be found in the latter rounds, such as the 4th round which we have two picks. Since Gruden is an offensive minded coach and with the possibilities of some impact offensive players slipping towards the BUCS pick, you could see a QB, even a RB taken. Players such as Simms and Fargas could possibly last until the BUCS select. I think QB is a definite possibility considering its obvious King is no longer the QB of the future and Johnson only has a few good seasons left (if that with injury), as well as this being called the deepest QB draft since 83. Either way its going to be interesting.

Wow what a game. Now that was what I was talking about playoff hockey being the best in sports. I was on the end of my seat for the entire third period. Nothing more exciting and suspensful. I think it took those first two games to get the nerves out for the Lightning. This team could go on a serious roll throughout these playoffs now and definitely has the horses to win the East. For the rest of you, jump on the bandwagon now goes its going full speed towards the CUP!

Yes and it was good to see the CAPS couldnt even sell out their playoff games. Atleast fans down here give a ****. The Caps are choke artists and they'll prove it again. LIGHTNING IN SIX
