Interesting mentality

Well, I notice that a lot of the sports fans here are just thrilled to have a team in whatever league we're in. I don't think that winning a title is the primary motivation. It's almost like the league puts a team in Seattle for marketing purposes and to advertise its product to people in the Northwest and that's good enough for 85-90% of the fans here. In my former cities, that wouldn't be good enough.

Anyway, after seeing Game 2 of the NBA Finals, I came to the conclusion that while the Lakers will win, they won't sweep the Magic simply because they're not as dominant as they used to be. I fully expect Orlando to win tomorrow and even on Thursday. Expect to see a game 5 and probably game 6, but a Lakers win.

While I dislike Yuniesky and Adrian Beltre, I think that Cedeno isn't the answer. He's hitting about .150 and got caught stealing yesterday by Joe Mauer.

Tomorrow is the MLB Draft. The Mariners are supposed to take this kid from North Carolina who's a power-hitting first baseman. We need sticks, not pitchers, if we're to improve on our 29th rank in runs scored.
