The Thrashers are done with a dismal season best summed up by Darren Elliot's observation: "Thanks for your {Fan} support; it's been the only consistent thing all season." True though it may be, it was good to see the home side close out with a win, especially against Tampa Bay.
Now, it's time to turn our attention to the Hawks and Gladiators, and their respective playoff runs. Since I'll be in that neck of the woods next week, I'll go see the Gladiators playoffs Tuesday and Thursday. Mainly, I'd like to see Kowalski record 50+ saves again.
But wait...what's that sound? It's the lament of dejected Mets fans. That means the Braves have done the deed yet again, taking both games of a rain-shortened weekend series. I really, really like what I see so far, bullpen issues aside. Braves are 3-3, with all three losses coming in extra innings (Nats, Pirates, Pirates). Three games of double-digit scoring, and there's even been a manufactured run or two along the way. The team ends the first week batting in the .280 range. And now, four games in the Colorado rain and snow. Gross. |
