Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

Yankees beat Orioles 9-1, extend winning streak to seven
It's funny what a seven game winning streak can do to change your attitude about a team. A few weeks ago, I was bashing the Yankees for playing terrible overall baseball. They couldn't hit, pitch, or field. Now, after a few walk-offs and Mark Teixeira's personal Home Run Derby, they cannot do wrong. Tonight's win was good on more than one front. First, Sabathia had his third straight excellent start and is beginning to pitch like the $161 million ace they paid for. Also, Brian Bruney came back from his "flexor muscle" injury and owned the eighth inning. It's nice to see some competence coming out of the bullpen. With Bruney being added to the roster, Edwar Ramirez was sent down to Scranton Wilkes-Barre where he belongs. Forever. No more Ramirez. That "Bugs Bunny" change-up is cute and all, but I can only take a 1.50 WHIP and 5.00+ ERA for so long. I'm looking at you Jose Veras! Would anyone like to look at his stat line? 12 walks in 16 innings?! 6.61 ERA?! I could write 7,000 words on how incompetent Jose Veras is as a pitcher. But I won't. This is a time for celebration. 7 straight wins, Bruney is back, Cervelli is contributing, and Teixeira is hitting his stride. Now all that needs to happen is for Chamberlain to go to the bullpen and this team will be set.

Los Angeles Clippers win NBA Draft Lottery
So Blake Griffin is going to be a Clipper, eh? That's a nice place for him to disappear. Speaking of which, has anyone seen Eric Gordon lately? He was here a minute ago. It's no secret that the Los Angeles Clippers are poorly run, but do they have to ruin the careers of young stars. I know it wasn't their fault, but I don't think Shaun Livingston obliterates his knee if he isn't on the Clippers. It's just their franchise's karma (and management decisions), but mostly karma. By the way, the Knicks pick eighth. And ironically enough, ESPN's Chad Ford has them selecting Stephen Curry out of Davidson. I have already outlined my thoughts on Mr. Curry and needless to say, I'm not impressed. Who do I want? James Harden or Earl Clark. Write those names down!

I needed my Michael Jordan fix for the day. I thought you needed one too.
