NBA Insanity and My Worst Batting Average Ever!

Insane Game! There will be a seventh game on Sunday for the NBA Finals. I may have to watch this one, but don't quote me. Stephen Curry fouled out and then ejected from the game before he tossed his mouthpiece in disgust and frustration? He is only a human being.

Snork! I Just Knew It!

It was too much to hope that that Cavaliers would make it a series and win at home last night against the heir-apparent Warriors. Just too much. CavsNation is grieving the trophy that did not even get closer to their fingertips. I have no pony in this race, but I like a series to be an actual series. Tsk!

MLB Wrap-Up

Thursday's Batting Average: 0.666. I'm right proud of that one but wish I had gotten just one more prediction correct.

Since I was at work doing curriculum writing and did not have much down time, I made no pronostications for Friday's games.

I missed watching the NCAA Men's Track and Field Finals last night, so I will try to catch up with the ladies tonight. The SEC was well represented with a 1-2-3 finish. Next year, Aggies, we get those Gators and Hogs! Gig 'em, Aggies! Whoop!
