MLB has been dead to me for a few years. The Rangers have been consistently aweful for almost a decade now. They are currently dead last in the majors (though Josh Hamilton is a nice story in center field).

I took the Mavs' elimination much easier this time. After having my heart stomped on the last two post-seasons, and after watching the Boys lose to the Giants, this was fairly insignificant. Too bad I don't give a damn about hockey. I hear the Stars are making noise in the playoffs.

Actually, I'm just a Red Sox fan, not a Celtics fan (or basketball either, for that matter). The former, I find, gives one heartburn enough (although they did kind of win it all last year, eventually). Just now they pulled out their second straight game in the bottom of the ninth inning ... having now scored all of 5 runs in the last 45 innings.

There will soon be two bloggers we know at Chicago. Maybe then talks like these might find their way into e-mail attachments.

Actually, aside from a mediocre showing in Game 5, Dirk shot around 50% in the series and averaged 25 and 10 (I think). The problem was with the rest of the team, in particular, Josh Howard. Avery's just been canned, and I'm sure they'd trade Josh if they could get anything for him. It's sad to see the Mavs' rapid decline from the Finals. Oh well, the Boys are looking like they'll be strong this season. That is, if Pacman can stay out of the strip-clubs.

Looks like the lowly Hawks are going to give you guys a series. Nobody saw that one coming.

Surely someone we know could snag Conant's paper?

BTW, it seems that it's that time of year again, when Dirk et al decide to pack it in. The traditional condolences.

They do, don't they? I would love to hear Hacker's and Stern's talks. It's a shame that all of this doesn't get recorded and posted on the internet.

I really hope some of those articles end up published somewhere; a lot of the talks look exceptionally interesting.
