NBA Nightly Highlights: May 19th

The Many Talents Of Mel Kiper Jr.

Cubs Win Game One 3-1

Starlin Castro singled in the first inning, and Anthony Rizzo crushed a  mammoth two run homerun to give the Cubs a lead they would never relinquish. as they won 3-1 over the Pirates.



Carlos Marmol was his usual wild self. He got one batter out, then walked a batter and surrendered a run as manager Dale Sweum pulled him for Japanese Closer Kyuji Fujikawa, who got his first Major League Save.

The Cubs and Pirates were off yesterday, and do battle again today.

The Chicago Cubs are undefeated!

Miami Heat Streak Over

MLB In A Tough Spot

So the Baseball Hall Of Fame Ballot was released today. Names from the "Steroid Era" like Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Roger Clemens are on the list. To those who say cheaters have no place in Cooperstown: Whitey Ford is in the Hall Of Fame, and he used his wedding ring to doctor the baseball while pitching. Gaylord Perry used Vaseline to doctor baseballs while pitching, and he's in the Hall Of Fame. I think two names will enter Cooperstown this year: Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza. Two guys who played during the "Steroid Era", but never used Steroids themselves.
