This should be an interesting week. The NHL and NBA championships will be decided and baseball continues interleague action.
Carolina Hurricanes may have won the Stanley Cup tonight, but give the Edmonton Oilers a lot of credit. They played with heart. So many times during this series, they could have shut down and gone home, but they didn't. They get my vote for the Cinderella team of the year.
The Miami Heat took a 3-2 lead in the NBA finals last night, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 101-100 in a heated (no pun intended) contest. After losing the first two games of the series, the Heat have come back, led by Dwayne Wade who is averaging 40+ points per game in the last three games. If Dallas cannot find a way to contain Wade in game 6 Tuesday night in Miami, this series will be over.
In local interleague action, the White Sox are looking good after going 6-1 on last week’s road trip, taking three out of four from the Texas Rangers and sweeping the Cincinnati Reds. The highlight of the weekend has to be pitcher Jon Garland’s first career home run in Sunday’s game against the Reds. This week, the South Siders face the St. Louis Cardinals (minus Albert Pujols) and the Houston Astros in a rematch of World Series foes.
The Cubs go on the road to face the struggling Cleveland Indians and the resurging Minnesota Twins. Maybe the Cubs will have better luck on the road.
