Staying Alive, Streaking, Sex (and the City)

(Chris)

Matt Dermody pitched Norwalk to a state title, last year. This year, he's hoping to pitch Iowa to a Big Ten title. The freshman earned the win in an 8-3 Hawkeye victory in the Big Ten tourney. Iowa has now won two games in the tournament. Two more than they had won since the Bush administration. The George H.W. Bush administration.

The most impressive sports streak, in the nation, belongs to Garrett Wittles. Not only does the FIU sophomore have a 52 game hitting streak...last night, he pitched 3 innings, and got the win, in an 18-16 victory in the conference tourney! http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5229869

One Bill Fennelly is good. Another Bill Fennelly is better. Bill hires son Billy to be ISU's new director of player development. Big Bill calls it 'A dream come true'.

Randy Wells gave up 5 runs in 0 innings, Friday. The Cubs' starter was taken out before retiring a batter. Ouch.

A day after Ryne Sandberg blew a gasket, the I-Cubs blew a game. After coming back from a 4-0 deficit to take a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the 9th, the Cubbies lose on a walk-off homer, in Nashville. A win would have moved them into a tie for first.

Boston, finally, put an end to the Magic. I'd love to see the Suns take LA to a game 7...but who the heck wants to see a Boston-Phoenix final? Not me.

If you're a man, and you've already seen 'Sex and the City 2', you have no excuse. That's why I'm not going to tell you that, my wife, made me go.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals, Saturday night. Time to break out the old Griswold double-zero Blackhawks jersey. 49 years of waiting may soon be over for Chicago hockey fans. At least, I hope so.
