Final Friday of May!

Friday Forecast

Because I missed the early game, I will only post my prediction for the games that are in progress at press time or will be played in the near future. It keeps everything honest.

  1. Phillies at Cubs - Cubs were leading in the seventh inning when press time hit. Safe or sucker's bet?  No bet. Then the game gets delayed. We will all find out at the same time about who wins this matchup.
  2. Cardinals at Nationals
  3. Red Sox at Blue Jays
  4. Dodgers at Mets
  5. Orioles at Indians
  6. Yankees at Rays
  7. Marlins at Braves - Why pick the Marlins? The last home win was 16 days ago for the Braves.
  8. Pirates at Rangers
  9. Reds at Brewers
  10. White Sox at Royals
  11. Giants at Rockies
  12. Padres at Diamondbacks
  13. Astros at Angels
  14. Tigers at Athletics
  15. Twins at Mariners

Thursday Tidying - Stink City! The average was 0.285. Meet Mayor Skunk!
  1. Arizona at Pittsburgh
  2. Miami at Tampa Bay
  3. Toronto at NY Yankees
  4. St. Louis at Washington
  5. Colorado at Boston
  6. Milwaukee at Atlanta - I heard that Atlanta has won two games at home this year. 
  7. Baltimore at Houston
  8. Chicago (White Sox) at Kansas City - postponed
NBA - Will the Cavs go ahead and take care of business instead of prolonging the Raptors' agony? Cavs win tonight in Canada for the first time this year.

  1. NY Mets at Washington
  2. Philadelphia at Detroit
  3. Kansas City at Minnesota

  15. Cincinnati at LA Dodgers

NBA Side Bar

Now the Cavaliers really took care of business with the Raptors last night and lead the season 3-2. 
The OKC Thunder hope to close out the series out west in Oakland. I think the Warriors will be like Antaeus and regain strength on the home court and force a sixth game, but hey, I have been wrong before.

NHL Shout Out

Many happy returns to the long-suffering San Jose Sharks on their first ever Stanley Cup appearance. Congratulations. Will they face the Tampa Bay Lightning or the Pittsburgh Penguins? Tune in tonight to find out.

  4. Arizona at Pittsburgh
  5. Colorado at Boston
  6. Philadelphia at Detroit
  7. Milwaukee at Atlanta
  8. LA Angels at Texas

There are no words to describe my shock. The Warriors are down 3-1. This bears repeating, but I just don't believe it. Warriors trail the Thunder 3-1 in the Western Conference series.

A Terrific Tuesday!!

It is a great day for the Lady. More about that in another post. Let's get down to sports, shall we? I was completely flabbergasted to discover that the Raptors have made it a series after defeating Cleveland 105-99 last night. Who knew they had that much fight in them?

Golden State looks to avenge its embarrassing blowout at the hands of the Thunder tonight. The series gets evened out again.

Now to wrap up my "marvelous Monday" predictions! Not bad with a 0.750 batting average.
  1. Colorado at Pittsburgh (Makeup from Sunday) - Pirates
  2. Cleveland at ChiSox (Game one) - Chicago White Sox
  3. NY Mets at Washington - NY Mets
  4. Philadelphia at Detroit - Detroit 
  5. Tampa Bay at Miami - Miami
  6. LA Angels at Texas - Texas
  7. Kansas City at Minnesota - Kansas City
  8. Cleveland at ChiSox (Game two) - Cleveland
  9. ChiCubs at St. Louis - St. Louis
  10. Oakland at Seattle - Seattle
  11. Cincinnati at LA Dodgers - Cincinnati 
  12. San Diego at San Francisco - San Francisco 
Tuesday, May 24
  1. ChiCubs at St. Louis 
  2. Toronto at NY Yankees
  3. NY Mets at Washington
  4. Arizona at Pittsburgh
  5. Colorado at Boston
  6. Philadelphia at Detroit
  7. Milwaukee at Atlanta
  8. LA Angels at Texas  - You have to beat these guys! They're division rivals.
  9. Cleveland at ChiSox
  10. Kansas City at Minnesota - miracles do not happen for the Twins.
  11. Baltimore at Houston
  12. San Diego at San Francisco
  13. Oakland at Seattle
  14. Cincinnati at LA Dodgers - Even without Kershaw on the bump, the Reds have no chance.
The Tampa Bay-Miami game surprised me with its early time. You know Tampa Bay won 4-3. I hope to see and hear @45PedroMartinez tonight on MLB Tonight. #MLBTonight

  11. Cincinnati at LA Dodgers - Cincinnati because the Dodgers will be worn to a frazzle following the marathon game on Sunday.
  12. San Diego at San Francisco - San Francisco only because the Padres will be tired after that LONG game that finally ended just before Doomsday.

NBA - Knock me over with a feather. I am speechless. OKC blew up Golden State. Cleveland had better watch themselves. Cavs win tonight.
