Sports: Horses and Lakers and the AL East - Oh, My.

Monkeymangames is sans internet at the moment, but that won't stop our intrepid sports monkey from posting...

Well it was an exciting week in sports this past week.

Big Brown won The Preakness and after his win at The Kentucky Derby is headed to New York for The Belmont in his attempt to win The Triple Crown. Big Brown would be the 1st horse since Affirmed in 1978 to accomplish the feat. Run like the wind Big Brown…run like the wind!!!

Basketball, baseball - and an actual hockey score await by telling the monkey link to give you more.


In Basketball News the Lakers beat the Jazz (come on there’s no Jazz in Utah) to advance to The Western Conference Finals against The Defending Champion San Antonio Spurs. The teams split the season series 2-2, with each team winning at home. The Lakers with the best record in the West have home court advantage in what will prove to be a very exciting match up. This Lakers fan says Lakers in 6 games. MVP!!! MVP!!!

The Boston Celtics needed 7 games to beat the #4 seeded Cavaliers and advance to The Eastern Conference Finals against The Pistons. The Celtics should be glad they have home court advantage here…as the Celtics were taken to game 7 by the #8 seeded Hawks and #4 Cav’s and the Pistons, seeded #2, have been to The Eastern Conference Finals 6years in a row and were last Champs in 2004. It’s been 22 years since the Celtics grabbed a trophy…this Lakers fan wants the Celtics to win so the Lakers can hand them their asses (much like the NY Giants did to another New England team in the Super Bowl) in the Finals.

In Puck news…the Stanley Cup is set up for a match up between The Detroit Red Wings and The Pittsburgh Penguins with the Red Wings vying for their 4th title in 11 years and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I just fell asleep…who gives a rats ass about Hockey.

In baseball news…The Yankees took the Rays spot in the AL East cellar as AROD continues to rehab in Tampa (he’s back in the Bronx tonight) and Jason Giambi made public his love for gold lame’ leopard print thongs to break slumps, and Jon Lester of the Red Sox pitched a no hitter in Fenway versus the Royals. Wait it was versus the Royals??? Put an asterisk on that one…the Royals suck.

A question to my readers…do I have any??? Do you want to hear recaps of stuff you can find in the paper? Or…are you looking for the more off beat investigative journalism that will make you both laugh and cry? Please tell me…I’m new at this and would love to get some direction.
