My current TV show obsession is The Office. ( U.S. version, you know, w/ Steve Carell). It's amazing how many things they can make humorous in that one setting, which in itself is NOTHING. There's so many recurring themes like Dwight's "volunteer" sheriff status, assistant TO THE regional manager, Michael throwing stuff, it's just hilarious!
O and heroes tonight. It's time to save the world!
Remember Chris shelton from last year? He had like 10 HR's in the first 15 games? yea, he spent the first part of the year in Triple-A ball and hasn't been back since. Other streaky players from last year that didn't wind up with great numbers: Jose Bautista, Corey Patterson. Moral of the story: Be careful w/ fast starters. Don't overpay!
NBA playoffs check : Bulls losing again? C'mon, guys! Heh, looks like my San Antonio prediction got off to a good start: They stole game one in Phoenix from the suns, and bloodied Steve Nash's nose in the process. My first guess as to who did that was Bruce Bowen. Not that that guy's dirty, but people who he guards have a wierd nack for getting into nasty injuries.........
Utah v. Golden State? I'm taking Utah..........I think Golden State just matched up really well w/ Dallas, and the NBA isn't kind to cinderellas. This one won't get very far. Can you imagine Golden State taking on Phoenix in a western conference final tho? Holy cow, there could be 300 points scored in that game.
Detroit vs. Bulls? I took Detroit in 7 in my league............i'll root for da bulls obviously but my head still says detroit in 7. Lebron and Cavs in 6 in the series that nobody really cares about.
Spiderman 3? Eh, worth your money, and it set a record for most weekend viewers. Go see it, but if there's one movie you gotta watch this summer in theaters i think it's Pirates of the Carribbean: At the World's end. or Harry potter if you're into that sort of thing.

The winner of the match, and the NEEEWWWWWWW......
For those of you who know me, you know that I am a pretty big WWE wrestling fan, I dunno how I developed it, but I was intrigued when my friends started watching it back in the Attitude era w/ the Rock, Austin, Mankind, and all them, but in January of 2006 I also started watching it religiously, and it hasn't worn out since then. I'm interested right now about how this money in the bank is gonna be used this time, w/ Mr. Kennedy.............Kennedy winning it recently at Wrestlemania 23. I really think there's a good chance he's gonna cash it in as soon as Batista beats the Undertaker in a steel cage match on Smackdown.
Anyway..........so the "raptors are extinct" in the NBA playoffs.......usually I'm not a big fan of ESPN's cliche's and those play on words, but I found that one to be somewhat appropriate, I didn't see the game in its entirety but caught R-Jeff's game-winning drive to the basket and I gotta say, he finally looks like he can actually PLAY basketball again after having a horrible regular season even after coming back from injury. The bosh play at the end was huge.
Bulls-Pistons tonight. Should be good. It'd be nice if the boys from Chi-town could go in to the palace and steal one. Pressure's on detroit at least for game 1.
I watched spider-man 3 last night. Not bad. They included 3 different villains and developed the story pretty well, I just think it was a mistake for them ever to cast Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Even when Parker was fumbling and making mistakes, he never looked THAT sniveling. And Topher Grace was Eddie Brock. C'mon. Bleh. But the action scenes were good. I dunno if there's gonna ever be another Spiderman movie in this series? The ending seemed to suggest there is.
Shane victorino went 3-4, 1R, 2 SB's last night as my waiver-wire pickup. Heh. This after going 0-9 for me in a similar recent-pickup role for me earlier in the season.
I'm all but out of that NBA fantasy competition w/ Chris Bosh pulling a dud in Game 5, not very great games for me the last couple.........we'll see if my champion pick of San Antonio goes anywhere.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan

Finals week
I got an exam on Friday but I'm writing here just to kill some time, wait for the laundry to dry.......
Anyway, I'm really getting into this Yahoo! winners league I'm in...........i could say i'm certifiably addicted, although i know at some point i'll get tired of it, but that's a long ways away. So today i spot-started Oliver Perez and he put up 5.2 IP, 1ER, 10K's. TEN strikeouts! That's huge cuz in fantasy K's are just as important as any other stat. O did i mention he got the win too? Chris capuano shoulda gotten the win but he had to come out of the game after 3 w/ the lead........why don't more people get this guy? He's so solid........18 wins in 2005? C'mon peeps. That woulda won the CY Young last year.
NBA? Not a very busy night tonight.......San Antonio finished off Denver in 5 at home...........Phoenix is about to do the same to LA....I was wrong about dallas winning game 4 the other night.........ate my words, they were down 3-1 but came back to barely squeak one out AT HOME to golden state. That game 6 in oakland is gonna be HUGE. It's so tough to win on the road there.......Dallas's dream could end.
