I feel good right now, but if my shoulder bursitis acts up, I may not be able to go more than five items today.
2. We got numbers
The Sox are 10-3 in one-run games this season and 1-0 in games in which Jon Garland throws behind a Tigers batter and both benches clear.
3. Kickin’ Astros
With the exception of that seven-run fifth inning, the Cubs pitching looked pretty good Sunday.
4. Cork this
Sammy Sosa and the Orioles have won eight straight and are atop the AL East. But this is the Cubs’ year.
5. Sharp pains
No, it’s not my shoulder bursitis. I just saw that preview for the Rosie O’Donnell-Andie MacDowell movie.
6. It’s pass/fail
Bud Selig wants a 50-game suspension for first-time steroid offenders. Right. If you think the players’ union buys that, I need you to pee in this cup over here.
7. Sports movie trivia
Speaking of CBS movies, the actor in the “Elvis” mini-series? He’s the coach in “Bend It Like Beckham.” Don’t thank me. That’s what I’m here for.
8. Going through the motions
No NHL playoffs this week. Maybe next week.
9. Hogwarted
That Bulls loss? Haven’t seen that many high-flying Wizards since Gryffindor nipped Slytherin in Quidditch. That’s “Quidditch,” folks. Is this thing on?
FIVE THINGS…
Five random hockey observations:
1. The Wolves made the second round of the AHL playoffs.
2. I’m beginning to forget what “neutral zone trap” means.
3. The World Championships are under way in Austria.
4. “Squirrel watching” is now Canada’s favorite sport.
5. I cry every time I go to nhl.com.
