Tigers and Reds are back

It has been a while but here we go...

Isn’t it great to see the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds playing great baseball....maybe one day soon the Pittsburgh Pirates will have a change of fortune....

Chill out Cavs fans....you are still down 2-1.....

One of the worst columnists has to be The Beacon Journal’s Terry Pluto....don’t get me wrong, Pluto is an excellent features writer.....but I am getting tired of his "homer" columns about all Cleveland teams....

Alex Rodriguez is 100% class....after making two errors the other night, The Boss ripped A-Rod for his lackluster play....instead of pouting and whining, A-Rod said that because of the money he makes and talent he has, he deserves the criticism.....then he went out and homer three straight days in a row...

Lebron James needed to chill out after the Washington series.....The Chosen One was all bent out of shape throughout the series because The Plain Dealer beat writer, Branson Wright, picked the Wizards to win the series....who cares if Wright picked Washington....it was only a reporter’s opinion....we need more journalists like Wright who have the "onions" to pick against the home team instead of Terry Pluto who thinks every Indians minor league player is the next coming of Jim Thome....

Speaking of Thome – nice class Cleveland fans....when Thome returned to Jacobs Field for the first time since leaving the Indians, the great and wonderful Cleveland fans greeted him to boos.....this is the same guy who won how many games for the Indians with his late inning homeruns and clutch hitting???.....

By the way, whatever happened to Sixto Lezcano???....

Look for Barbaro to be a heavy favorite in the Preakness.....I’m still trying to figure out why my two horses were not even in contention during the Kentucky Derby....

One of my favorite names of a horse is Thunder Gulch....

The more I watch Grady Sizemore, the more I know he is going to be a stud for years to come....

Outside of Cleveland, I think most of the nation wants to see a Pistons-Heat rematch for the Eastern Conference Finals.....

I still say the Dallas Mavericks will win it all.....

Dirk Nowitzki has been dominating the playoffs....the only difference between him and Lebron is that the Mavs have more talent as a team....

Finally, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there....give your mother a hug because you never know when she may be gone....
