I'm gonna predict an "OMG SHOCKER" and say that Taylor goes home tomorrow night, when everyone else assumes that either Elliott or Paris (whichever one is in the bottom 2 with him) is gonna get bounced.

If someone was raped, why is Robbery Homicide on the case?

At least everyone besides Chris decided to suck tonight so no one as at a major disadvantage going into the second song. Anybody could go home at this point.

Katharine, Paris and Elliott are all in deep trouble. Chris is already safe.

Chris just buried Elliott and Paris. I think the title is his if that's what Simon wants.

I never thought I'd be excited to see JBL scheduled to win a World Title match.

Paris just butchered "Kiss" by Prince. Not a good start to tonight's show.

Elliott was OK doing "On Broadway", but OK is not good at this point as the judges astutely pointed out.

DLH will jab, jab, jab Mayorga to death as Mayorga tries to line him up for bombs. The only way the fight is exciting is if Mayorga lands some desperation flurries in the late rounds and Oscar foolishly tries to trade with him as he's done in a few fights, or drops DLH for good with one shot. Oscar will employ his usual boring tactics of trying to execute the 116-112 UD.

Soriano nearly hit a ball to the moon just now. This Maine kid is getting rocked (4 hits allowed, 3 2B and Soriano's HR), 3-1 Nats Top 3, but it could be much worse.

Oscar wins another boring fight by decision as he sprints to win as many of the first 7 or 8 rounds as possible before turtling up for the last 4 or 5 and winning by a score something like 116-112, 115-113, 117-111 since there's always a guy there to guarantee DLH doesn't lose a clear cut decision. Mayorga needs a KO if he wants to have any chance of winning the fight. I don't know enough about the other two fights to make any kind of predictions.

The Nats are playing with the left field line, back to back doubles which were fair by a combined total of maybe 3 inches give them an early 1-0 lead.

They get the winner of Cavs/Wiz, neither of which should push Detroit to a 6th game.

The Giants signing Jai Lewis of George Mason fame was a bit puzzling, but the dude does look like a football player and if he even makes the practice squad that would be a nice little story.

A day and a couple of hundred replays later it's still cute to see everyone say that the refs won that game for the Lakers. Nash wasn't fouled on either key play, nor did he call time out, but don't let pesky facts get in the way of spreading the hate for a team who should be praised for overcoming the whole "never being able to beat Steve Nash" shit. The Lakers would be up 3-1 on almost any team in the league right now, and would have certainly swept a handful of teams that were in the postseason mix. The only team that has imposed its will on their series more consistently than the Lakers has been the Mavs. Everyone else had a lapse of at least one game.

One Detroit 1 seed down and out, now if only the other would follow suit.

You should have heard the reaction to the Reyes baserunning blunder. It was a loud roar followed by a louder groan, and then boos. I called Lo Duca ending the game in the 9th, I just thought he'd do it with a single. For a Monday night in May, it was a cool game to go to.

Not that I need to ask, but I'll be looking forward to seeing how the Yanks/Sox game went tonight just by looking in this thread. I'm going to the Mets/Nats with a few friends, and don't really feel like sitting through a 4 hour replay of the game by the time I get home. American League baseball requires much more patience than I have.

I tore ligaments in my right ankle playing basketball in HS, tied up my shoelace as tight as possible, finished playing the game, hopped on a train for an hour which made my foot even more stiff, and yet I still walked home with only a slight limp. Granted, once I took my shoe off, the ankle swelled to the size of a grapefruit and I had to be driven to a hospital to find out that I'd torn ligaments, but I'm also not 7 feet tall, nor am I being paid millions just to look like a complete bitch on national TV. The way Chandler was flopping around you'd have thought that his ankle was dislocated or that bones poked through the skin. He's a pussy.

I knew the guy wasn't hurt when he went down because Chandler's just another seven foot tall (or so) pussy. Maybe Isiah can try and swing a trade for him too.

No doubt that Arenas is easily a better player than RJ or Parker, I just think that they fit very well in their respective systems, which is why they are comparable picks at least in terms of contributions to their current team. Arenas was far and away the steal of that draft.

Can you say "oops"? The only comparable, or better picks that year 3. Atlanta Hawks Pau Gasol 13. Houston Rockets Richard Jefferson 28. San Antonio Spurs Tony Parker I hope Gilbert knocks LeBron out just to spite Larry Hughes.

The Knicks lost in the NBA Finals in both of those years I do however have fond memories of Dikembe on his back holding the basketball like it was made of pure gold after the Nuggets bounced the Sonics.

I'm too lazy to look, but does anyone know off hand if the # 1, 2 and 3 seed from the same conference ever lost in the first round in one year? Even 2 out of 3 would be staggering. It probably won't happen, but how ironic would it be if the Spurs, Suns and Nuggets aka the division winners in the West all lost? If that happens the Mavs had better make the NBA Finals because it will never be that wide open for them again.

First, find a playoff game where a team blew a 5 point lead with less than 10 seconds left in the game. Once you've done that, name the last time one player hit a game tying AND game winning shot in a postseason game with each shot coming with less than 1 second on the game clock? Also find a game where the league's back to back Most Valuable Player made the same critical mistake twice, costing his team a victory not once but twice, and all but eliminated them from the postseason as a result. Still following me? Now I want you to tell me how much differently this series would be if it was 2-2 instead of 3-1 Lakers? Now bare in mind ALL of this happened in 5 minutes and about 10 seconds of game action in a SINGLE game. What the fuck do you think they're going to be talking about? If the roles were reversed and Kobe turned it over twice and Nash had hit two of the biggest shots of his life, you would most definitely want ESPN "sucking as much cock as possible" and you'd practically orgasm at them ripping Kobe. Stop being a hater.
