I, for one have given up on watching the Eastern Conference finals. I have no interest left for them. At this point, I’d rather be watching the Stanley Cup finals — and I’m not a big hockey guy if you didn’t know — or even regular season baseball — especially if that phenom Jay Bruce [...]
After defeating the Texas Rangers yesterday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Rays had the best record in all of baseball. If you put money on that happening this late in the season, I would have laughed at you derisively back in March. Now, it’s somehow a reality. At 32-21, the Rays moved half a game ahead [...]
The Pens scored a goal! In fact, they scored 3 goals! And won! Wow! Chris Osgood apparently is human after all.
Well, I’m not really that surprised that the Pens finally got on the scoreboard, it had to happen eventually right? But what I saw first and foremost was that the Pens were gritty enough to [...]
I don’t know how something this could have been planned, but it worked out perfectly. Frank Thomas, one the best hitters of his generation, celebrated his 40th birthday last night. What’s so funny, ironic and appropriate about that? He’s playing against the Blue Jays, the team that cut him a month into the season. After [...]
How much do you think the NBA wants the Lakers in the finals? Well you can tell if by looking at one thing in the boxscore of last night’s game. Under the referee section, you’ll see Joey Crawford. Yes, that same Joey Crawford who actually challenged Spurs superstar and gentle giant Tim Duncan to a [...]
For the second time in three days, the NHL Stanley Cup finals and the NBA’s conference finals were taking place at the same time in Detroit. So which takes precedence? For last night at least, the NHL actually wins.
How the Red Wings are shutting out the high-scoring, highly-touted Penguins is something to marvel at. Chris [...]
It was no surprise here at RunningThePoint that the Lakers went down to San Antonio in Game 3. Especially when Manu put on a show like he did. In case you haven’t realized, the Spurs will live and die off of Ginobili’s performance for this series and perhaps the rest of the playoffs, pending who [...]
Memorial Day is here and for me that means one thing (sports-wise): It’s time to see where your fantasy (and real life) baseball team is going. By now, teams are around the 50 game mark — a third of the season — so it’s time to really evaluate what kind of shot you have at [...]
It defies all logic and the NHL’s behalf — which makes perfect sense why they’d do it — to schedule the first game of the Stanley Cup finals when the NBA playoffs were in the same town on the same night at the same time. As if hockey could possibly outdraw basketball, especially with the [...]
It’s finally here. With the Stanley Cup final mercifully here, we’re looking straight at the end of hockey season… in June. Sure we’re pretty much blessed to see a match up the calibre of Detroit-Pittsburgh — a finals that features two high scoring clubs with enough star power and light their own marquee – but [...]
