Did you see Many Saturday night? Of course you - unless you are Chris - didn't because only Chris and I have invested wisely in the baseball sports package. Because of that decision we saw Manny pick a runner off at home plate throwing from the outfield. He picked him off with enough time to watch his face say "oh, my God, I actually picked a guy off at home" on his face before the guy was actually out. It was an amazing thing to see. But you didn't. Unless you are Chris.

• Did you see the horse being put down at the Kentucky Derby? Not me. I was making spicy chicken tacos and burritos. There will be a flurry of talk about the wickedness of breeding horse to have all that weight on tiny pins of legs but that is what is.
• The Boston Celtics finally beat the Washington Wizards to move on in the NBA playoffs. I didn't watch that either. If I had a favorite NBA team, it would be the Celtics. They played in the Nicks in Halifax in a pre-season game around 1979. The next round with the Celts v. Mr. James may actually attract enough interest in my to watch some of a game.
• The Habs are done for the year, being put to pasture by the Flyers. We will have the "why are there no Canadian Cup winners??" stuff for a while. It used to be we couldn't afford the good players due to the exchange rate. Now the Canadian dollar is strong and our teams still lose. Maybe good hockey players just hate Canada. Hey - I picked Dallas the the darkhorse! Wooot!!!
• Now that the Morton have safely stayed up, we can notice the junior leagues of England and play there. Man U - yawn. Chelsea - yawn. Arsenal did well and Wigan stays up. EPL in a nutshell. If I could justify another specialty sports channel, I would have paid more attention to Spain given Barcelona has both Henry and Ronaldinho but...no. I will not pay - unless they could get me Morton games, too.
• Time of Roger Clemens to simply pack it in and go away. Slightly sadly, that may be what Yanks wonder child Ian Kennedy is doing. Too bad for the Giants that no one noticed Barry Zito had done just that some time before they signed him for 126 million over seven years. His fast ball is 81 mph now. What will it be in 2013?
