The recipe

I shall call this the recipe, a random string of thoughts and observations it shall be...

Dwight Gooden's going to jail. One of the most promising pitchers of the last 20 years, in trouble again, this time for doing cocaine while on probation -- although he didn't have to be locked up. He had two options: one was to go to jail for seven months or so, which he decided to do. The other was to extend his probation, but if he violated it again, the sentence would be upwards of five years. I guess there's no lifestyle change in his forseeable future, eh? Talk about taking your medicine...

I watched the women's national title game Tuesday and was impressed. Maybe it was because the game was an OT thrilla and I hadn't seen any hint of that in the men's Final Four, but I actually saw some great plays and some great players. Maryland came from way down at halftime to take the lead with a few to go, and it seesawed until Tolliver the Terrapin hit an ultra-clutch three from the right wing to tie it. Then, the Terps looked like GM in the UConn game in the men's tournament, owning OT, then winning their first title. I usually don't like women's hoops, but this was a great game that I could not find myself turning away from with the remote...

The Tigs! It didn't take long for me to sniff October. A 14-3 romp of the Royals on Thursday cemented the inevitable truth that the men with the Olde English D on their hats will be playing in the Fall Classic come autumn. They're the best team in the history of baseball...

Pistons/Heat tonight. I don't like how Miami's starters are faking injuries before the playoffs. J. Williams is not injured, he just wants to delay another matchup with Chauncey before he's forced to succumb to his inferiority in May when the Pistons beat the Heat in the Conf. Finals for the second straight year -- this time in a sweep. White Chocolate, you wimp, you make me sick.
Pistons 134 Heat 6
