Stanley Cup Finals Start Tonight!

The Stanley Cup Finals start tonight at the Joe. Eventhough it is currently 1-1 in the second period. Both teams not looking too bad right now. I will write more after the game tonight. But, my prediction is Penguins in six, despite the fact I totally do not want Crosby to ever win a cup. But, my hatred I guess you could say, for the Red Wings is more than for Crosby. Plus, I want Geno to get at least one in his career :)

The Calder Cup Finals started tonight, for all you who do not know that is the AHL- minor league finals. This series puts the best offensive team in the league you could say in the Hershey Bears(Washington Capitals' affiliate) versus the Manitoba Moose(Vancouver Canucks' affiliate). It is currently 2-1 in favor of the Moose after the first period. My pick for the series is Hershey in 7, even though I would love to go with the Manitoba Moose. Mostly, because I was a big fan when they used to be the Minnesota Moose.

The Twins lost today against David Price and the Rays. Price who is a great young prospect went 5 2/3 innings, while striking out 11! The Twins left eight on base which kind of hurt them. It also does not help that there was not too much offense either. Liriano started and got rocked again. Frankie went four innings while giving up four runs on seven hit and bringing his season ERA to 6.60. Casilla who was called up yesterday because of Punto being put on the DL, went 1 for 4 with a rbi. Which is better than Punto would have done anyway. Series finale is tomorrow, Blackburn will go for the Twins and former Twin Matt Garza will go for the Rays, First pitch is scheduled for 12:38 CDT on WFTC. By the way, the Cubbies shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-0. They play the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN tomorrow night in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field at 7:05 CDT.

Well thats all for now until after the Pens-Red Wings game. Orlando is up big on the Cavs after the first half. Vikings are already building around Percy Harvin, just another way to try to build their confidence. Who is going to be throwing to him? Jackson and Rosenfeld are not going to cut it and the Vikings should figure that out. Also, I might put up something that my friend and I were discussing about moving the Phoenix Coyotes. Go Pack Go!
