Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Bye Bye Mike...

        I just got done writing about Pedro Martinez's injury, and now I get to write about Mike Hampton's injury.  Anybody surprised?  Hampton felt something "pull" during pregame warm ups, warm ups for what would have been his first mlb pitch since 2005.  However, reality set in, much like it did for Pedro.  Is anybody going to be surprised when El Duque goes down?  Smoltz?  Delgado?  Beltran?  Chipper?  Also, as a bit of a side note, I feel the Phillies win yesterday was very important.  Not just as a game in the win column, but to escape what could have been the demoralizing pressure of a another sweep and "slow start" to begin the season.  Well done, Phillies, even if you are playing like amateurs.  Finally, one last thought that just popped into my mind; our new closer will miss the first four games of the season.  Seems innocent enough.  However, who would have thought that the score differential in every game thus far would have been less than or equal to one going into the ninth inning?  Crazy.  Here is to being .500 after tonight.

I'm not a fan...

Never DISLIKED Mike Hampton (although the "The schools in Denver are good" rationalization was kind of far-fetched at best, and racist-y at worst), but I can't say I'm sorry about this one.

I am, we'd be teeing off on him all year!

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?
