With the long days of summer finally beginning to shorten, I'd like to give thanks to the sporting gods for giving us the gift of fantastic championship series in both basketball and hockey.
I have to admit, it was fun watching LeBron carry the Heat
to the NBA title Thursday night. His 37/12 performance with a trophy
on the line was the stuff of legends, and further cements his status as
one of the all-time greats. What's more, it capped a highly entertaining series that stands as one of the best in recent memory.
The Stanley Cup Final, if you haven't been following, has been just as good, if not better, than the NBA Finals, with three of five games finishing in overtime. Game 6 is this evening, with MY Chicago Blackhawks in position for a series victory. Even though I
desperately want the Hawks to clinch tonight, I can't deny that part of
me wants a Game 7 back in Chicago. The anthem, the roar, the home
jerseys... I want that scene, especially with the Cup in the house.
Regardless, I hope you take the time to enjoy the hockey while you can, because, after this week, it'll be a long stretch of nothing but baseball before
basketball, football, and hockey return to us in the fall. (obligatory: #IsItNovemberYet?)

Monday Grab Bag: Still waiting for an AD
Following up on my lead-in from last week, I've made a decision on what baseball team to follow.
To summarize, with my beloved White Sox turning into a bona fide dumpster fire (three straight losses to the Astros over the weekend!), I'm looking for a hardball distraction to obscure the mounting futility. Turning to twitter, I received numerous suggestions like the Yomiuri Giants, Dorados de Chihuahua, along with more conventional choices like the Seattle Mariners. (Thanks to everyone who chimed in!)
In the end, however, there was only one real option. I'm going with the home team, and jumping back on the Rockies bandwagon. And what a bandwagon it is! After yesterday's 5-2 victory over Philadelphia, the Rox moved to four games over .500, and sit only half a game back of the division leading Diamondbacks. My poor, poor White Sox could only dream of such heights.
So get ready, Coors Field. Your attendance is about to be boosted by one over the next homestand!
