tom grieve on Richie Sexson's charge of the mound because of the "close" pitch:

    That is a gutless six-foot-seven, two-hundred hitting, formerly good player. . . what a            joke.  http://www.withleather.com/post.phtml?pk=5716

Now, as I watch a lot of MLB TV and live in chicago, I am forced to endure the crap that is out of town baseball booths, topped by turd a1 anaheim- "hurl"er and turd a2 white sox- he-homer, but I always look forward to games against the rangers because you get the home guys or the rangers guys.  I'll say this, Grieve is hands down the most even keel calls it like i see it color guy on tv.  I remember how last year, he roasted padilla for hitting swish in sept, i mean he was infuriated.  Considering the way the A's organization kicked his son to the curb, he seems to have nothing but good things to say usually about the green and gold.  That being said, when an opposing color guy goes off on the other team, its usually just white noise, but when Papa grieve has something to say, its worth a listen.  So here's to a palatable and somewhat enjoyable weekend of ranger broadcasts (as MLBTV seems to be going with home if available this season). . . GO A's

Just started thinking about the last time the Magic were up 3-1 in a series.  In that NBA:

where Me-Mac decided it felt good to finally get to the second round happened

where the NBA had (IN MID SEASON) changed the first round from five to seven games out of fear that the lakers and kings (top draw at the time) would meet in the first round happened

where a little used bench player shut down t-mac and became an all-star happened

where 31L, 15L and 15L happened

where one team went on to win a championship and consectutive eastern finals happened

where the other team loses 19 in a row and hires john weisbrod happened

where I can't believe they drafted howard over okafor happened

and now:

where it feels good to be up 3-1, but there's still work to do
