Yay Mexico!

Yay Mexico!

  • Ok so I don’t really do celeb gossip unless its exceptional.  Heidi (pictured above) and Spencer are on their honeymoon in Mexico.  Did they not notice the planes full of people trying to get the hell out of there with masks on.  Are they sitting around the pool wondering where all the tourists are…probably the best move for humanity though.
  • The Devils were stunned….I’m stunned you’re stunned and everyone else is stunned.  It hit me last night why we used to win cups and now we don’t.  Defensemen!  Nicolas Havlid is not the answer we need the next Scott Stevens or Ken Daneyko.  With those guys you would have never had the opportunity to steal that game. At least they didn’t blow a 3-1 series lead.
  • The Rangers lost….told you geez I’m good at this game.
  • Phil Hughes dominated…so I no longer want to hear about the Yankees tired bullpen.  They’re rested now lets see what they can do and Melancon looks like a stud reliever but we’ll probably try and make him a starter.  Speaking of that all they need now is Wang to come back healthy and then you have Melancon in the 6th Bruney in the 7th and Joba in the 8th getting to Mo.
  • The Jets cut Favre cue the comeback rumors.
