As we watch the New York Yankees on the game of the week AGAIN, baseball fans can be glad for one thing. Major League Baseball doesn’t have a BCS. Otherwise it would be Red-Sox Yankees in EVERY ALCS. (And if they could tweak the rules enough, in the World Series too.)

–

Meanwhile, over for the fans over in Queens, the Mets ended a seven game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.   Not that their fans are completely mollified, but a win a week puts them on par with expectations for the New York Giants and Jets.

–

Meanwhile,  the Grizzlies and the Hornets knocked off the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers.  Or as the networks are trying to spin it  “A funny thing happened on the way to the NBA Western Conference Finals.”

–

And re that final in Los Angeles –  Hornets 109 – Lakers 100:   Should someone tell Kobe and company the regular season is over and they can start playing now?

–

According to Glenn Beck, the GOP, his own party, now wants to “politically assassinate” him, Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin. Actually, no. All three are all doing a fine job of doing that themselves every time they open their mouths.

–

Okay, who had this headline two weeks into the season? “Indians win, knock Royals out of first.”

–

Some of the worst storms in decades have killed dozens of people and wreaked incredible damage in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina. As awful as things have been, however, somehow no conservative commentators have suggested it was God’s revenge on anyone’s actions in these Red States.

Now, I’m not voting for Mitt for president in this lifetime, but really? Donald Trump today criticized Mitt Romney’s business skills, saying “I’m a much bigger business man and have a much, much bigger net worth.” This from a man with as many bankruptcies as wives.

–

And meanwhile, back in New York.  Okay, it was close. But it’s hard to view the team who made an orchestrated trade for Carmelo Anthony as hard luck losers.
