My Five Minutes

On Friday night, just as I fell asleep, because the game was on the west coast, Rafael Palmiero became only the fourth man in major league history to hit 500 home runs and get 3,000 hits when he doubled in a run in Seattle. Now major league baseball has been around since the 19th century and he is... Sign in to see full entry.

Kenny Rodgers of the Texas Rangers should NOT go to the all-star game. Especially if he is on supsension for assaulting an innocent cameraman in Texas. I don't care if he has earned it or not with his pitching(and he has). What he did was malicious, cruel and pre meditated. I would have cut him some... Sign in to see full entry.

We have a baseball war brewing between the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals. The rest of the outside world will not be aware of this until 2007 when they play for the first time, but it exists. Baltimore fans mainly consist of those in eastern, southern and northern Maryland.... Sign in to see full entry.

The San Antonio Spurs are the champions of the NBA. Despite a valiant effort by the former champs, the Detroit Pistons, the Spurs used home court to their advantage and came on in the fourth quarter for a hard fought 81-74 victory, their third title in seven years. It wasn't pretty, far from it. But... Sign in to see full entry.

The NBA Finals that have been upstaged by Phil Jackson, Billy Hunter and David Stern just won't go away. As should have been expected, the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs will play a game seven Thursday night "Deep in de heart o' Texas". It took us five games to have some compelling drama, but...

Not much got done around the beltway from Thursday to Sunday, because everyone was at either the men's or women's tournaments. Yes, taxpayers. You got nothing for your... Sign in to see full entry.

The O's were winning 4-3 with two out, two on and a 3-2 count on David Ortiz. When I had left the house earlier the score had been tied at three. Here's what I said to... Sign in to see full entry.

Dwayne Wade has got it. The Detroit Pistons shut down the Miami Heat star guard in game one of theEastern Conference Finals and I thought that they had the edge. But Wade has answered with back to back games of 40 and 36 points and the Heat now lead the best of seven series 2-1. Shaq is still not... Sign in to see full entry.

Dwayne Wade and Steve Nash both found out in game one of their NBA conference final matchups that the playoffs are for real now. The Miami Heat got a dose of what good defense is in thei 90-81 lose the the defending champion Detroit Pistons and the Phoenix Suns found at that, yes, the San Antonio... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, believe it or not, the Washington Nats are only a game back of the Atlanta Braves at this writing. Most of us around town still don't know all of the players names and a great many of us can't get their games on TV, because of territorial rights with the Orioles(who's attendance is going down...
