Posted by Joe: Erin, thank you for hopping aboard with a posting. In the future, it would be beneficial for all posters to put a simple "Posted by (Your Name Here)" before each post. But here are my thoughts on yesterday in sports, or more aptly, my personal affiliations with yesterday's sports action.



In short, it was a bad day to be liked by Scoops.



NHL



Although I am a Rangers fan, I hate the Philadelphia Flyers almost as much as I hate non-alcoholic beer. Watching them eliminate the Devils (sorry Livingston boy), a team that is a rival of the Rangers but that I respect, was not my idea of a nice Saturday.



MLB



Not only did the Yankees get bitch-slapped in their hineys by the Red Sox and Curt Schilling, but later on, one of the more reliable pitchers on my fantasy baseball team, Josh Beckett, was left in the game too long against Atlanta and suffered his first loss. Then, I found out that my starting shortstop, Angel Berroa, has been placed on the DL because of headaches. Headaches? They had better be really bad headaches Angel. Really bad. That means that my catcher, Joe Mauer, my ace, Mark Prior, and my shortstop, Berroa, are all on the DL. Ray Durham, my backup 2B, is also banged up. Since I like to see both New York teams do well, it was not much better when I looked up and saw that the Mets lost to the Pirates, by 2-1.



NBA



New Jersey 107, New York 83. Nuff said. This might be a short series for my beloved New York Knicks.



Maybe one of these days, I will post some non-sports content. Yeah, i will.
