Major League Baseball should pat itself on the back with its fantastic job of Jackie Robinson’s 60th anniversary debut in the majors.

The same cannot be said with Mr. Stern and his handling of Barry Bonds and the home run record.

Playoffs, we’re taking about the playoffs, playoffs, that’s right Jim Mora the Golden State Warriors are going to the playoffs. The last time Warrior fans saw their team in the post season, Don Nelson was the coach and short shorts were way rad.

Head coach Lynne Roberts hard work recruiting has paid off for the women’s B-ball team. The 07-08 class includes Dallas/Fort Worth District high school players of the year Jennifer Fath.

What’s up with basketball refs this month? Joey Crawford calling out Tim Duncan, and the Final Four being foul out city.

The men’s volleyball team ends what looked like a promising season with a 7 game losing streak.

The Sharks-Predators is what playoff hockey is all about and the best sport to watch on da tellie.

Matt Goodwin left the Pacific basketball team due to personal reasons related to his family. Hopefully everything is alright with the Goodwins and personal reasons did not include realizing there will not be enough minutes next year for Goodwin if the rumors are true.

No April Fools! The rumor on the streets is this blue chip B-baller from Washington might be headed to Stockton thanks in part to his friendship with Steffan Johnson. This guy is supposed to be the missing link to taking the Tigers back to the glory days of yesteryear.

Student vs. teacher. Don Nelson vs. Avery Johnson. Son vs. father as Nelson works for the Dallas Mavericks front office will be great story lines but that will not take away from the fact that the Warriors match up real well with Mavs and did sweep them this year.

If I was the Mavs I would be rooting for the Clippers.

Hey what do you know? Pacific’s lady tennis players, playing in their last home game of the season, beat Riverside 6-1, adding to a two game win streak.

The Pacific softball team is making a case and getting hopes up for postseason play with its seven game win streak, unbeaten in league and 31-13 record. The Tigers are starting to put destiny in their own two hands.

The Oakland Raiders are flirting with the idea of taking Calvin Johnson with the first pick in the NFL draft but that is all a smoke screen as Al Davis has something up his sleeve and it is probably not wise.

Ahhh...imagining that irresistible “new car” smell?
