Ben Sheets Gives Great Effort For Brewers

Ben Sheets showed the Atlanta Braves and everyone else why he is considered one of the better pitchers in baseball. Sheets tossed a four-hitter as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves by a score of 4-1. Sheets retired the last 16 batters he faced and got his third complete game of the season in the process.

Mike Cameron hit a two-run homer to help back Sheets pitching in the win. Sheets now stands 9-1 and has a chance to be a 20 game winner this year. The Brewers have a young talented ball club and could be one team down the road that teams are going to have to deal with. I guess only time will tell.

Shaq Disses on Kobe Bryant

I guess the feud continues between Shaq and Kobe Bryant even if it is only one sided it seems. Shaq was doing some freestyle rapping and was talking about how Kobe has not won a title without him. In case Shaq does not remember he did have a guy name Dwayne Wade helping him. Maybe Shaq forgot about him.

Kobe has tried to forget about Shaq and has kept his mouth quiet about their relationship so you have to respect Kobe for that. I guess Shaq has nothing else to do so one way to keep his name in the news is to talk about Kobe.

Celtics Make Improable Comeback To Take 3-1 Series Lead

The Boston Celtics this season has been one team that everytime you watch them you know they have a chance to win every game. Most of the time you cannot say that about other teams. The Celtics were down as many as 24 points to the Lakers, but kept chipping away and finally was able to take the lead in the fourth quarter. They went on for a 97-91 win and a 3-1 series lead.

Kobe Bryant had a terrible shooting night and that was the main reason the Lakers lost as no one else on this team can step up and help him out. Is it over? I would probably say so, but when you have Kobe Bryant you always have a chance to win a game and even a series.

Cubs Lose Star Player But Win Game

The Chicago Cubs were able to beat the Atlanta Braves by a score of 7-2 yesterday, but in the process lost star player Alfonso Soriano who was hit with a pitch in the hand which was x-ray and found to be broken. It looks like Soriano will miss at least six weeks.

Lucky for the Cubs they are playing real well right now so losinf Alfonso Soriano is not as big as a hit it would have been a few years ago. This is a more complete Cubs team and they can compete with anyone right now. Look for the Cubs to be fine and ride out this injury without a problem.

Derrick Brooks One Of The Greatest Ever

How do we equate one of the greatest ever? Do we have to mention his name all the time or is he the assuming leader who shows by example. If you were looking for a leader than Derrick brooks would be at the head of your class. Brooks has anchored the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense for a long time and 10 Pro Bowls and 9 All-Pro seasons will get him in the Hall Of Fame.

What sets Brooks apart from others is his willingness to help others on his team and the community that is what a real leader is. Yes, Derrick is not the player he once was, but give me him any day of the week and I will win a lot of football games.

T.O. Frustrated With The Drug testing Issues

Terrell Owens is frustrated that he has been put in a program where he will be tested more often because of a lack of communication. T.O. who missed a random drug test now must be tested more often as that is the result of his missed test.

Now T.O. has said you can test him 10,000 times and he will come up clean everytime because he does not do anything illegal. That is probably true, but T.O. rules are rules and they must be followed no matter who you are. Just take the damn tests and you will be fine.

Lamar Odom What Happened?

Lamar Odom has been absent so far in the NBA playoffs and unless the Los Angeles Lakers get something out of him soon the Boston Celtics could be celebrating a NBA Championship. Odom seems like he is pressing and I really think it is really hurting his game. He needs to relax and let the game copme to him instead of him putting pressure on himself.

Kobe Bryant is going to need some help and unless Lamar Odom decides to step up it could really be a very short series for the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant can only do so much as the Boston Celtics defense can take a lot out of you.
