Day in Sports: May 26th

The main event of today was Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and Heat. The game really changed in favor of the Heat around 2:30 left in the 3rd quarter off of a flagrant foul against Carlos Boozer. The Heat really just outplayed the Bulls from that point on and beat my hometown Bulls by 3. 83-80 Miami, winning then the series 4-1.

This sets up a Finals matchup against Dallas with took the West.

Other Briefs:

• Red Sox won huge 14-1
• White Sox finally pull it together a pull off a 3-1 win
• A fan fell to his death at the Rockies game. 
• The heavily favored Kim Clijsters got upset in the 2nd round of the French Open
• Nadal won in straight sets at the French 
• Doug Weight retired after 19 NHL seasons, he joined the Islanders coaching staff and front office

NHL News

New Jets? - The Atlanta Thrashers are 95% certain to move to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The NHL left Winnipeg 15 seasons ago and fled to hot climate of Phoenix. Personally I am not a fan of warm weather teams, but my plan for the NHL will be discussed in a later post. 

ECF Game 7: After a huge performance in Game 6 the Bolts pushed it to the pivotal Game 7 against the Bruins. Tomorrow we will find out the matchup for the Stanley Cup Final. Either way I hope the winner of this Game 7 wins the cup. 

Comment with anything you want me to cover or what you like about my coverage. 

Day in sports.

With the conclusion of the exciting Game 6 just a few seconds ago, the Bolts tied the series with the Bruins to push it to a game 7. As usual Game 7 is up in the air with all Game 7's.

I still think the B's will pull it off, and then beat the Canucks for the cup.

Other stuff:

• Mariano pitched in his 1000th game as a Yankee, quite a feat. 
• My White Sox lost 
• OKC and Dallas are battling hard in the WCF

EDIT: Well looks like the Mavs are a pretty dominate team, having come back to beat the Thunder once again. The Thunder are a good team, just way too inexperienced to pull off this series, they will be very good in the near future, if they can keep their pieces in place.
