HABS IN; DOOMED REGARDLESS!


DREAM ON

This is as close as you'll get to seeing this hardware anytime soon. Yes there was almost a parade on St Catherine St. Last night. The Habs clinched a playoff birth by securing a point against the Bruins. Unfortunately for all the dreamers out there this will simply prolong the fantasy of a real parade come June. This team in its infinite wisdom and poor planning and management has ensured that the only sport after the end of April will be Golf. Dream on though we have the whole spring and summer to be entertained by how the sale and eventual restructuring (players) will go.

HOLY ON FIRE CAMPBELL


Chad Campbell takes the lead into second round after the best start in Masters history. He birdied the first five holes Thursday on his way to a 65. Don't look for him to repeat the success and look for a surge from some of the younger players i mentioned in an earlier blog. The green grass and flowers and everything that is Augusta sure got me thinking about summer though...ha it was snowing here yesterday and the low last night was minus 7.

TRAGIC LOSS

Hours after pitching his best game yet in the major leagues, Los Angeles Angels rookie Nick Adenhart was killed by a suspected drunk driver, leaving his teammates and fans stunned he won’t be around to fulfill the promise he had shown.

Adenhart’s father, Jim, a retired Secret Service agent, walked onto the field in the empty stadium Thursday and spent several moments alone on the pitcher’s mound. Wearing a red sweatshirt in the team’s color, he briefly covered his eyes with one hand.

Events like this show us all that sports is what it is SPORTS...life unfortunately is much bigger then it!
