The Chicago Cubs suffered a bullpen meltdown yesterday as the bullpen walked home the tying and winning runs. The Cubs came back with a vengenance, destroying the New York Mets 10 to 1. Carlos Zambrano got his fourth win of the season, and the Cubs are one game below 500.
Detroit defeated the Red Sox 7 to 1, as Tim Wakefield was rocked for four runs in the third inning, and that ended up becoming the clincher.
The Texas Rangers lost to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 4 to 3 in the tenth inning.
Randy Johnson looked like "The Big Unit" of old tonight, as he held the Colorado Rockies to just one hit through six innings, and had nine strikeouts in homerun friendly Coors Field in Denver.
The New York Yankees are on the road on the South Side of Chicago, and they will have to wait until tomorrow to get their game against the White Sox started, as this game is in a Rain Delay.

The Dorkiest Sayings of Pastor Robert... Now on "The Power Zone!"
These are, by far, the dorkiest sayings of Pastor Robert. Since I expect to him to say more dorky things, this list is subject to change and be updated.
Here is The Best of the Best of The Dorkiest Sayings of Pastor Robert. Pastor Robert would be the first one inducted into the "Dorkiest Saying Hall of Fame" and here is my evidence.
Anyway, here goes:
5. "I've lived almost twice my normal life expectancy.
4. "I was a Braves fan,but to get people mad, I started saying I was a Yankee Fan."
3."The Yankees have won more titles than anyone in National Baseball League History."
2. "This is the Year of the Yankees."
1. "There is no I in team, but there is an I in CSI."

Roger Clemens signs with Yankees
Roger Clemens may just keep pitching until he is fifty. Clemens announced to the Yankee Stadium crowd watching the Yankees play the Mariners that he was returning to Yankee Pinstripes this season, and he hopes to start pitching again by the end of the month.
This is kind of suprising, but it also is not. Look, we all know that George Steinbrenner loves to throw money at people. He threw money at Johnny Damon to lure him away from the Red Sox. He threw money at Andy Pettite to lure him away from Houston and get him homesick to return to Yankee Stadium, and now Steinbrenner has not only thrown money at Clemens to get him to return to the Bronx, but now Steinbrenner has reminded Clemens that his BFF Andy Pettite is no longer in Houston.
Roger Clemens instantly improves this tattered, shredded, Yankee Rotation. Clemens improves the Pitching Rotation of every team in the Majors. His knowledge of how to get a batter to swing and miss three times in a row is easily the reason he is the greatest right hander in the history of the game.
The Rocket has landed in New York. Can he land the Yankees the coveted World Series Pennant?

(NBA) Warriors and Jazz advance: Spurs win game 1
The Golden State Warriors pulled off one of the biggest upsets in NBA History, as they defeated the Dallas Mavericks at home in Oakland. Back to my earlier blog post, the two things I said, "The warrors are a different team at home" and "Contain Dirk, and your chances to win incraese." came true. The Warriors fed off the energy of that home crowd, and refused to let the Mavericks take them to Dallas to play the next game.
Tracy McGrady said "If we do not win this series, it is on me." Normally, star athletes try to pass the buck and say "Don't blame me." T-Mac does the exact opposite, and the Rockets hope to advance to the playoffs next year, although there are many questions that have yet to be answered. The Jazz eliminated the Rockets in Game Seven.
The San Antonio Spurs, the only Texas team remaining in the postseason, won an unbelievable game 1 against the Phoenix Suns, with both teams putting up over 100 points in a good, old fashioned shootout, as the Spurs did not put it away until the very end.
Game Two is Saturday in San Antonio.

(NBA) Mavericks could be knocked out by the Warrors tonight
The Dallas Mavericks, heralded by many as the best team in basketball, could be eliminated from further postseason play tonight by the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors in front of their fans tonight. I think we have learned two things from this series
1: The Warriors are a much different (and better) team in front of the home crowd.
Does home court advantage matter? Ask Golden State that and I'm sure they would undoubtedly say "yes." Golden State was feeding off the energy of their home crowd. All of their shots were falling, and the defense was relentless, refusing to let Dirk Nowitski or Jason Terry score many points, and if you take them away, the Mavericks are just not the same team.
2. The Mavericks were "ressurected" in Game Five by Dirk Nowitski.
Two minutes were remaining in Game Five and the Golden State Warriors had aon 9 point lead and looked like they were going to pull the amazing upset, but Dirk Nowitski and the Mavericks came alive, going on a 15 -0 run, with Dirk scoring 12 of the 15, and Dallas manages to stave off elimination for one more night.
Game six is tonight in Oakland, and the Mavericks will have to win the next two games if they want to advance.
Also tonight, the Utah Jazz play the Houston Rockets in game six of the series, as the winner of the series will go on to play the San Antonio Spurs.

(MLB) May 1, 2007 MLB Roundup
The New York Yankees are currently beating down the Texas Rangers. Yankee Phenom pitcher Phillip Hughes, called by many the Future Ace of the Yankees, had a no hitter through seven innings before leaving the game with a hamstring injury, and the Yankees lead the Rangers by the score of nine to one.
Alfonso Soriano played in Yankee pinstripes for three years, and will be playing in Cubbie Pinstripes for the next seven years. Soriano hit his first homerun of the season to give the Cubs an early 1-0 lead. Also homering for the Cubs, former New York Met Cliff Floyd, and former Minnesota Twin Jacque Jones, and the Cubs have a narrow 6-5 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, as this game is currently in a rain delay.
