More BS

I can't tell you just how dissapointed I am with the NBA in the aftermath of Robert Horry's bodycheck in game 4 of what should be the NBA final.
Getting it right should always be the battle cry when it comes to these kinds of things.
A little justice wouldn't hurt either.
The NBA had already missed the boat with the lack of punitive action against San Antonio's Bruce Bowen following his knee to Steve Nash's groin.
It was especially surprising considering the league's regular season policy of meting out punishment at every possible transgression.
While he may be "Big Shot" Bob, Robert Horry can be done without.
Taking both Amare Stoudamire & Boris Diaw away from Phoenix for game 5 is simply not fair.
League rules stipulate if you move off the bench to follow an on court altercation, you get suspended.
FINE !
Knowing this series will at least go 6, the league could have at least staggered the 2 suspensions.
Instead, it's possible that Phoenix will now head to San Antonio needing a road win to stay alive,
all because Stoudamire was right:
San Antonio is a dirty team...There's no justice there.

The Milwaukee Brewers have come a long way and built their division leader the right way.
They drafted better than almost anyone else and now they get to enjoy a run that Expo fans were denied.
Great, young players still cheap enough to afford to hang around awhile.
These guys are for real.
Now they need their manager to catch up.
Ned Yost watched how it was done in Atlanta and judging from the last week, didn't learn much.
First he runs out closer Francisco Cordero six days in a row, then forgets he exists.
Managers have been drawn into this pathetic pattern with their bullpens.
Every domino set up to fall exactly at the right time or not at all.
After the 6 straight days of work, Cordero has not pitched in a week.
Yost first, wouldn't bring him in during the Phillies 8th inning rally on Monday, watching a 6 run outburst turn around a 6-2 Brewers lead into defeat, staying with Derrick Turnbow while it was clear he didn't have it.
Next up, well, you can't bring your closer into a tie game, better wait for a lead you'll never have.
Turnbow again, homer, loss again.
Now Yost will probably need to use Cordero in a 10-0 game just to get him some work.
Hope the Brewers don't lose the division by a game or two.

I'm a huge believer in pain.
The pain of past dissapointment keeping the future focused.
Many teams have fed off it and I believe that's a big reason as to why the Ottawa Senators haven't taken their eyes off the prize.
Why they currently look like the best team in the NHL.
It's not a guarantee of course as Expo and Cub fans can tell you.
Mind you, Sabre fans know that only too well.
Especially if they also follow the Bills.
