Wonderful Wednesday

MLB - Wednesday, May 18, 2016

Here is what I predict will happen today in the world of baseball, sports fans.

1. Marlins at Phillies
2. Twins at Tigers
3. Red Sox at Royals – game one
4. Rangers at Athletics
5. Nationals at Mets
6. Mariners at Orioles
7. Braves at Pirates
8. Rays at Blue Jays
9. Indians at Reds
10. Astros at White Sox
11. Cubs at Brewers
12. Rockies at Cardinals
13. Red Sox at Royals – game two
14. Yankees at Diamondbacks
15. Dodgers at Angels
16. Giants at Padres

NBA - Conference Finals

I fully expected the Raptors to get blown out by the Cavs. Tomorrow promises more of the same. They do not have a way to deal effectively with James, Love, and company.

Golden State will prevail tonight after the unexpected dropping of a game on Monday evening. Wow. I was impressed by the Thunder's efforts. Just a guess, though.

Are We Nearly Halfway Through May Already? Wow.

14. LA Angels at Seattle
15. St. Louis at LA Dodgers

NBA

Golden State and Cleveland are enjoying some lovely rest time in preparation for the conference finals. The OKC Thunder eliminated the Grumpy Old Men, unfortunately. I guess it was time for a new kid in town. Sigh. The last team to be decided will be after the end of the Toronto and Miami games tomorrow evening. I hope for a Miami miracle, but I believe Toronto will try their level best to give Cleveland a hard time in the Eastern conference finals. Game on.

Down here we have been wearing shorts for the past two months, especially the young people who are invincible. Or so they think. Would you believe snow? In April? Snow. On to sports.

Congratulations to Villanova Wildcats on your NCAA Men's Basketball championship. I actually picked them to win in one of my three regular brackets on ESPN, so that's nice to know. I have been a UNC fan for over twenty years, so I am still hating the buzzer beater that goes against my team.
