The Daily Run

-Is it just me or did it seem as if Shaq played in that game last night? No. Well, maybe it was the Shaq like free throw shooting in an awful game to watch. The Lakers beat the Celtics 87-81 to cut the series down to 2-1.

This game was just ugly. Where to start, there is so much. The two teams combined for 38.9% shooting from the field and 25 turnovers. Paul Pierce was out of this world bad, going 2-14 and scoring just 6 points. KG wasn't much better with 13 points on 6-21 shooting. For the Lakers, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom combined for 17 points on 5-18 shooting.

The two teams also combined for 64% from the charity stripe. Kobe was 11-18 and Pau was 3-8. That is brutal. I thought these guys were professionals. How the hell can you shoot that bad. Think about it, these guys only play basketball. Why you can't make a minimum of 70% is beyond me. I guess Shaq did rub off of them last night.

-Well, I did get half of my prediction right from yesterday. I said the Lakers would cover the 9 points...which they didn't. But, I did say they would have a decided advantage in free throws and they did. The Lakers out attempted the Celtics at the stripe 34-22. Now you don't hear Phil and Kobe crying do ya?

-Everyone is all nestalgic over the Lakers and Celtics renewing their rivalry in the NBA Finals. But, I didn't notice that Game 3 was an 80's throwback night, did you? Sure looked like it in the stands if these two get front row seats!...

-As I said yesterday, Dontrelle Willis sucks! Well, seems the Detroit Tigers agree and have had enough. The Tigers shipped Dontrelle to A-Ball. A? Wow, he really sucks. "Our objective is to get Dontrelle back to being Dontrelle," Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "We don't want to put a time frame on this. We want to get it right. The arm strength is still there, on occasion. The breaking ball is still there. But we want to get him back to being comfortable throwing strikes." Good thing they gave "D-Train" that $29 mill for a Single A pitcher. .laugh.

-St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols was helped off the field with a strained left calf he suffered in the seventh inning of the Cardinals' game Tuesday at Cincinnati. Pujols, who hit his 16th homer of the season in the third inning, hit a grounder to first baseman Joey Votto and took three steps before reaching down to grab his left lower leg and falling to the ground.

Cardinals better hope this injury isn't too bad or they could fall out of the race pretty quick.

-Reports are that former NBA player Jason Caffey may have some children. Now you may say, "So What?". And normally, you would be right. The problem with Jason is, he has 10 children by 8 different women. Yes, read that sentance again. I think he may even have Shawn Kemp beat in this category. The problem is, Caffey is claiming bankruptcy from all the child support. Ya think? Someone should have changed his name to "Jimmy" after a couple of kids.

-The New York Daily News is repoting that Roger Clemens also kept Viagra in his locker in a GNC bottle. Could things get any worse for "The Rocket"? I want to say no but tomorrow is another day. I know it was "hard"(no pun intended) to keep up with a 15 year old but jeez Roger. There are so many one liners that could come out of this, I won't even try. Wait, yes I will.

I wonder what Raphy Palmeiro thinks? My commercials worked maybe?

No wonder Roger was so hard-on himself.

Do you think he will get a "stiff" penalty for lying?

Roger is getting the "shaft" on this deal.

I mean we could go on and on and on. Oh, if we go on for more than 4 hours, should we call our doctor? .laugh.

*News Of The Weird*
-WELLINGTON, New Zealand - One of the last shipments to a U.S. research base in Antarctica before the onset of winter darkness was a year's supply of condoms, a New Zealand newspaper reported Monday.

Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month and would be made available, free of charge, to staff throughout the year to avoid the potential embarrassment of having to buy them.

The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.

*Joke Of The Day*
-Drunk Fishing
An extremely drunk fellow decides that he wants to go fishing. He packs up all his tackle and sets out in search of a suitable spot. Eventually, he stumbles across a huge area of ice and decides that he'll give it a go. Taking out a saw from his tackle box, he starts to saw a hole in the ice.

Suddenly, a loud voice booms out at him, "There's no fish in here." The drunk looks all around him but can't see anyone. He decides to ignore the voice and carries on sawing.

Again, the voice booms out, "I've told you once, there's no fish in here!" He looks up again but there's still no sign of anyone so he returns to his task.

"Stop it!" shouts the now very angry sounding voice, "You'd better pack up your stuff and get out of here or there'll be trouble."

"Who are you?" shouts the drunk guy.

"Look," replies the voice, "I'm the manager of this Ice Rink!"
