Tuesday Breakfast Links


In the words of Homer Simpson, mmmmmmmm breakfast links. It was quite a night in the world of sports. John Lester from the hated Red Sox threw a no-hitter, and since he recently beat cancer, we aren't going to rip on him. Although, since it came at the expense of the Royals, there may be an asterisk associated with the feat. Meanwhile, over in Yankee-land, A-Rod gets a chance to try and turn around the Yankees season - but I think the real question raised in the story is this, who is less likable - Mike Lupica or A-Rod? I've thought long and hard about it, for me it's got to be Lupica, but what do I know.....

In the NBA, the hated Spurs did what the Spurs do - they won a big game, beating New Orleans last night. They are now headed to the Western Conference finals to play the Lakers. Detroit and Boston gets underway tonight, the Celtics are a perfect 8-0 at home and 0-6 on the road in the playoffs so far. The match up means two NBA coaches categorized as "have nots" will be squaring off, with one of them actually going to the NBA finals.

In Syracuse related news, Real Football 365 went out on a limb and predicted the Cuse would finish last in the Big East in 2008, and listed Greg Robinson as a coach under pressure. Thanks, we wouldn't have figured that out on our own. Meanwhile, OrangeEyes over on the scout board reports that Rutgers snared another recruit.

Other fun things to check out today include Sir Charles admitting he needs to stop gambling, 12 year olds are stripping, two year olds are smoking, and good news for every fan of the three idiots, that movie about us is finally getting made.
