Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

A very tough day for the Red Sox yesterday, Red Sox West and Red Sox West II both lost yesterday and are now behind the proverbial eight ball (whatever that means). I still think the Dodgers can come back - they have been a streaky team all year, so winning three in a row is definitely possible. The Padres though are done like dinner (damn these cliches...still sleeping here) - their offence has been worse than anemic. So looks like my National League picks were a bit shaky, but my American League picks look a little better.

Look for Oakland to close it out this afternoon against Brad Radke and the Twins, completing a very surprising three game sweep. A battle of angry camera swatting southpaws tonight in Detroit - Kenny Rogers and Randy Johnson match up in Detroit tonight.

Its going to be a good day today - I'm going to listen to sports radio this morning and listen to the SenaTards faithful talk about hanging themselves after that beating last night - in case I forgot to say it yesterday...THANK YOU HAZEL!!!

HAZEL'S THREE STARS

Toronto's Andrew Raycroft - shutting out the Tards in Ottawa is no small feat. Like I said yesterday, he wasn't spectacular but he was solid and came up with a few big saves early in the second period to demoralize the Tards.

Coyotes' Steven Reinprecht - a five point night against Rick DiPietro (the 15 year man) and the Islanders. Reinprecht also added four stitches after being clipped by a stick.

Chicago's Martin Havlat - went to Graceland and scored 2 goals and 2 assists to lead Chicago to an upset win over the Predators...you guessed it, BLOWING my Pro-Line ticket.

Honourable mention goes to Toronto's Kyle Wellwood, San Jose's Joe Thornton (hear that Jack Edwards????) and Pittsburgh's Marc Andre Fleury.

Ok, my baseball picks yesterday were weak, but I was 2-1 in the NHL.

Today's winners
OAKLAND over Minnesota - I'll take Haren over Radke
DETROIT over NY Yankees - Detroit's fans are going to be crazy tonight

NHL
BUFFALO over Montreal
ANAHEIM over LA
CAROLINA over New Jersey

There you have it gang...have a great day peeps. NFL picks later (or tomorrow).

HAZEL'S FRIDAY HOROSCOPE
You may find your jealousy and anger getting the better of you today. Try to contain how you feel or get out and do things that are challenging or physically tiring. Avoid saying too much. 3 stars

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world - have a great weekend!
